Treffer: Rule-Based Information Extraction from Multi-format Resumes for Automated Classification.

Nowadays, with the expansion of the Internet, a lot of people publish their resumes on the internet and social media networks. Large companies receive hundreds of resumes per day, which comes in several formats such as Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG), Portable Document Format (PDF) and Word files. Therefore, information extraction from resumes can be applied automatically by several methods. In this research, the important details that are taken from resumes are: name, date of birth, email, phone number, GPA, gender, nationality, and address. The private resumes dataset used is taken from different sources including open source as well as personally annotated. The processes of information extraction for resumes have been performed in different phases such as: pre-processing, converting the resumes files into PDF and information extraction by the rule-based method to extract the eight elements from resumes. To carry out the experiment, the Python language is used, particularly the spacy library and word2vec technique. Consequently, the experimental results demonstrate that the testing phase achieved 96.4% information extraction precision which is quite considerable in contrast to the techniques in the literature. The scheme is then extended to classify the resume based on the extracted information fields and exhibited classification accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score as 98.02%, 98.01%, 98% and 98%, respectively.
