A system for interfacing predetermined services to a user at a fixed location includes a processing platform running an operating system. The system further includes a data store for storing configuration information for enabling the operating system to interface with available physical system resources through the physical system resource interface associated therewith. A communication resource for interfacing with the operating system allows communication of the operating system with a central office for downloading configuration information to selectively enable ones of the available physical system resources to interface with the operating system through associated ones of the physical system resource interfaces in accordance with the configuration information and the predetermined service selected by a user. A plurality of configurations is stored in the data store, and each is associated with a predetermined service and one or more of the available physical system resources.

A third-party service may be used to assist entities in responding to requests of users by determining a suggested response to a received communication. The third party service may receive a request from a first entity, such as via an application programming interface request, that includes a message in a conversation. A conversation feature vector may be computed by processing the message with a first neural network. A suggested respond to the message may be determined by processing the conversation feature vector with a second neural network. The third-party service may then return the suggested response for use in the conversation. The third-party service may similarly be used to assist other entities in responding to requests of users.

A method, system and/or computer usable program product for automatically managing the conveying of messages among multiple communication channels including (i) receiving, from a first computing system, an on-line message addressed to a user, (ii) automatically categorizing the message among a predetermined set of message categories stored in memory, (iii) identifying a set of on-line message channels preselected by the addressee user for receiving messages for each of the predetermined set of message categories, (iv) identifying a set of performance metrics stored in memory for optimizing message channel selection, (v) utilizing the performance metrics to automatically select an optimum message channel from the preselected message channels for sending the categorized message to a second computing system of the addressee user, (vi) automatically formatting the categorized message for the optimum message channel, and (vii) sending the formatted message on-line to the second computing system of the addressee user across the optimum message channel.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for recommending a test question, and an intelligent device. The method includes: acquiring a plurality of skill entities of a post; calculating, according to the data of the post, a weight value of each of the plurality of skill entities; and acquiring, according to the weight value of each skill entity, a recommended test question of the post from a question bank.

The application describes matching individuals with entities. More specifically, the present application describes a process whereby an entity may find qualified individuals for various employment positions offered by the entity. Likewise, examples of the present application enable an individual to specify skills, experience and/or qualifications offered by the individual and subsequently provide this information to various entities.

In at least on embodiment, a job application workflow system and method utilize a dynamic workflow engine to automatically and dynamically modify job application workflow to modify generation and presentation of a job application to a job applicant for a job with a job provider. The system and method respond to data input by the job applicant to dynamically modify a job application workflow in accordance to a set of rules. In at least one embodiment, the rule sets are of multiple types, such as general rules and job application specific rules, configured by multiple entities, such as a job provider and a job application host. This set of rules provided by the job provider and host for automatically generating the job application may be supplemented with conditions or additional rules previously set forth in the system.

In one embodiment, a recruiter-facilitated employee referral technique involves forming connections being between accounts of one or more employees of a company and a company account in an online social network. A recruiter interface is provided for receiving requirements for a job from a recruiter. A search may be performed of other accounts connected to accounts of the one or more employees based on the requirements. The search utilizes access provided in the online social network to the company account, and yields a list of targets representing job candidates for the job. A selection of a target from the list is received from the recruiter. An electronic message is sent to an employee who is connected to the selected target in the online social network, soliciting the employee to refer the selected target for the job. The electronic message may include a uniform resource locator (URL) to an online job posting.
