COMPUTERIZED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING INTERACTIVE CLUSTER CHARTS OF HUMAN RESOURCES-RELATED DOCUMENTS

摘要

Computer systems and methods generate a cluster chart for HR-related documents. A host computer data center comprises a database for electronically storing HR-related documents, a web server, and a programmable computer device. The programmable computer device is programmed to determine clusters of prevalent terms in a collection of HR-related documents in the database. The collection of HR-related documents from which the clusters are generated is identified based on search criteria submitted from a client computer device. The clusters of prevalent terms in the collection can be determined using a clustering algorithm employing algebraic transformations of a term-document matrix generated from the collection of HR-related documents. The programmable computer device is also programmed to assign each of the HR-related documents in the collection to one or more of the determined clusters, and to generate a chart graphically showing the clusters. Each cluster in the chart has a characteristic (e.g., size) that is related to the quantity of the HR-related documents assigned to the cluster. A web server serves the chart in a cluster chart web page to the client computer device. The cluster chart web page comprises a document listing field. Each cluster in the cluster chart web page comprises a hyperlink that when activated from the client computer device, to thereby select a cluster, causes the document listing field to list the HR-related documents assigned to the selected cluster.

主权项

1. A computer system for generating a cluster chart for HR-related documents, the computer system comprising:
a client computer device comprising a software application for displaying content; and a host computer data center in communication with the client computer device via an electronic data communication network, wherein the host computer data center comprises:
a database for electronically storing HR-related documents;a web server that serves web pages to the client computer device via the network that are renderable by the software application of the client computer device, and wherein the web server receives requests from the software application of the client computer device for web pages via the network; anda programmable computer device that is in communication with the web server and that is programmed to:
determine clusters of prevalent terms in a collection of HR-related documents in the database, wherein the collection of HR-related documents is identified based on search criteria submitted from the client computer device, and wherein the clusters of prevalent terms in the collection are determined using a clustering algorithm employing algebraic transformations of a term-document matrix generated from the collection of HR-related documents;assign each of the HR-related documents in the collection to one or more of the determined clusters; andgenerate a chart graphically showing the clusters, wherein each cluster has a characteristic that is related to the quantity of the HR-related documents assigned to the cluster; andthe web server serves the chart in a cluster chart web page to the client computer device, wherein:
the cluster chart web page comprises a document listing field; andeach cluster in the cluster chart web page served to the client computer device comprises a hyperlink that when activated from the client computer device, to thereby select a cluster, causes the document listing field to list the HR-related documents assigned to the selected cluster.
