CVParser Documents


This project aims at developing an end-to-end system, CV Parser System, to extract important information from a .pdf CV file automatically. As Artificial Intelligence has gained a reputation recently, applying the Computer Vision or Natural Language Processing technologies.

overview

Introduction

Introduce

Saigon Technology is the leading Vietnam-based Agile software outsourcing company in Ho Chi Minh and Da Nang Cities, Vietnam, established in 2012 with the power of more than 350 top-tier software engineers and a mature process. Each month, we receive a large number of resumes from potential employees. Meaning we have to sort through a mountain of CVs.

Introduce

In addition, when looking for a good applicant, we consult some online tools or other sources such as LinkedIn... The standard procedure involves our Talent Acquisition (TA) team manually checking each CV file to get the information, then passing it along to the Tech Lead and Project Manager for review and interview. Finally, it is passed along to the Human Resources (HR) team for processing, making the contract, updating the candidate's personal information to our system, etc.

Introduce

Saigon Technology also boasts a strong AI team with a lot of experience in developing the AI software solution, our AI team has joined many similar projects before that providing our customer some AI solutions to process the big dataset and create the very powerful system with high performance, so we have applied these technologies and create an end to end system to process automatically the CV data, the CV

Parser system.

Our Approaches

There are many available tools or PDF reader modules, and libraries... to read the text layer from the .pdf file. But these outputs are only the text which is arranged line by line, the received information is messy and meaningless. For our issue, extracting the necessary information from a .pdf CV file, we will have to face up to some problems below:

The structure of CV files is so varied, and they are not in the same format.
It is difficult to cluster all related sections together.
It is hard for machines to know the meaning of each text data.
We will need a lot of rules to clean that text information, ...

However, some state-of-the-art AI technologies could deal with the above issues, so we have built an end-to-end system, CV Parser, that could help us automatically parse all meaningful information from a .pdf file. Our system architecture was divided into 3 main parts:

our-approaches
  • • In the first part, the system will receive the uploaded .pdf file from the client, clean this data, and convert this pdf data to image data.
  • • In the second part, by applying the Image Processing algorithms and Computer Vision models, the CV Parser system could analyze the structure of the CV and recognize the CV document layout.
  • • In the final part, each document location will be processed by the OCR, Natural Language Processing model to understand the meaning of text data.

Step 04

The output extracted information will be printed out as bellow

As you can see, the entire process requires a significant amount of work to obtain the required information from CV data; it will also scale up if we have a large amount of CV data to deal with. So we plan to use Artificial Intelligence solutions to autonomously pull all of the required information from CV data, such as name, contact information, job experience, education, and so on. With all of this information, we can categorize the applicant to identify the top prospects, or we can quickly comprehend the candidate.
