Archived — legacy sample analyzer
This sample analyzer dates from the Windows-only VisualText IDE era and needs that retired IDE to build and run. It is kept here as a historical description only.
Current sample analyzers live at github.com/VisualText and install straight from the NLP++ Language Extension for VS Code.
See the VisualText archive for the full list of retired material.
The Resume Analyzer was a prototype that extracted contact, experience and education records from plain-text web resumes, with preliminary work on skill-set extraction. It was a reference application for the automated rule generation from samples (RUG) methods in the VisualText tools.
Resumes look like a restricted domain of discourse, but every author tries to create a distinctive look and feel, so extracting information accurately is genuinely hard — the formats and the conversions between file formats vary enormously.
This analyzer was written in 2001 and was already behind the standards of its own era; the Full English Parser (TAIParse) was the better illustration of the technology even then.
