Systems and methods involving semantic determination of job titles

A computer-implemented method for determining a relationship between a first job and a second job at different companies, the method comprising:

• using a computer having neural network classifier circuitry to process weight associated with words from among a first set of data and a second set of data via a recurrent network classification, a title data store that includes memory circuitry and that is communicatively coupled to the computer, a training module communicatively coupled to the computer, and a prediction module also communicatively coupled to the computer;
• wherein the title data store is to accept job-related information characterizing at least one job-related position which includes at least one of title, corporate entity, job description, and job-related interest data, and wherein the training module includes circuitry, and instructions that, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to accept input data from the title data store, to calculate or generate a set of coefficients and a set of job-related vectors from the input data, and store the set of coefficients into a database;
• and
• accepting, by the prediction module:
• the first set of data including at least one of a first title and a first corporate designation data,
• the second set of data including at least one of a second title and a second corporate designation data, and
• the set of coefficients from the training module, wherein the prediction module includes circuitry and instructions that, when executed by the computer, calculates a similarity between the first title and the second title;
• and
• calculating, via the computer, a mathematical-distance similarity between the first set of data and the second set of data, wherein at least one of the job-related vectors in the set of job-related vectors is based on an association of words within the input data with a weight that is adjusted using the neural network classifier circuitry based on backpropagation as a function of a relationship between said at least one of the job-related vectors and a known job-related vector;
• providing a determination of a dot product, by passing the dot product through an activation function of the computer to produce a similarity value, for interests associated with the first title and data associated with the job description and a calculation of the similarity between the first title and the second title;
• and
• producing, via an output of the computer and based at least in part on the mathematical-distance similarity between the first set of data and the second set of data, similar-relationship data between the first job and the second job at the different companies.
