Requisition Time To Close Predictor Based On Historical Data Using Svm, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

One of the key activities in any Human Resources organization is recruiting the best professionals for the teams

they support.

One of the issues faced is the apparent unpredictability of the timings during the recruitment process, in other

words the number of days it will take to have a new professional working after the moment the vacancy is

generated. This leads to difficulties in accurately planning the budgets, workforce and time distribution, and

resources allocation.

To give more clarity on this process and allow a better business planning, we have developed an algorithm that

Using Time Series Variations In Streaming Content As A Stream Status Identifier, Simon Smith

Defensive Publications Series

Streaming content can be distributed over a network from sources, e.g., auditoriums, conference rooms, etc., to destinations, e.g., offices, other conference rooms, etc. There is a need to ensure that such a network, e.g., a corporate network, transport a content stream originating from a certain source provides it to the intended destination and only that destination. This verification needs to be performed without accessing the content of the stream itself. This disclosure describes techniques that form a signature of a content stream based on variations in its time series, e.g., by measuring bandwidth values of a certain number of frames. …

Client-Side Masking For Voice Queries, Aleksandar Kracun, Matthew Sharifi

Defensive Publications Series

Many voice-based assistive technologies transmit the voice input received from users to a server for processing. The transmitted audio includes the speaker’s voice which can identify the person. Users of such technologies therefore face a tradeoff between convenient voice interfaces with reduced privacy or less convenient non-voice input with higher privacy. Techniques described herein mask a user’s voice by locally processing the voice input received by a device. The masked voice cannot personally identify the user while still enabling server-side processing that allows recognition of spoken phrases. Application of the proposed techniques provides the user with greater privacy without diminishing …

Model-Based Network Congestion Control, Neal Cardwell, Van Jacobson, Yuchung Cheng, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh, Victor Vasiliev, Ian Swett, Priyaranjan Jha, Yousuk Seung, David Wetherall

Defensive Publications Series

Computer network congestion control algorithms control the sending rate for flows of data from sender network nodes to receiver network nodes. These algorithms attempt to utilize network bandwidth capacity efficiently, while keeping network data loss rates low, and allocating network capacity between different flows sharing the network in an approximately fair manner, or at least avoiding starvation of some flows. In addition, some congestion control algorithms attempt to keep network queues short, to reduce queuing delays and further reduce loss rates.

This disclosure describes model-based congestion control, a technique that explicitly models the network conditions along the path(s) between senders …

Restaurant Ratings Based On Tipping Patterns, Sanjay D'Abreu Noronha

Defensive Publications Series

The disclosure describes techniques to ascertain the quality of a restaurant based on the tipping behavior of patrons. Electronic payment data for payments made using a user device is obtained with user permission. The data is analyzed to determine user satisfaction by comparison with prior tipping behavior. For example, if the user tipped more than usual, it is determined that customer satisfaction was high for that restaurant. When users permit, data for multiple user payments is aggregated to determine restaurant ratings.
