CV3: Visual Exploration, Assessment, and Comparison of CVs

Abstract

Curriculum Vitae (CV) is an established representation of a person's academic and professional history. A typical CV is comprised of multiple sections associated with spatial, temporal, nominal, and ordinal data. Commonly, comparing and assessing CVs is done by viewing them in a side-by-side fashion. This becomes challenging when comparing more than two CVs, because the reader is required to switch attention back and forth, the overview becomes cluttered, and assessing the CVs becomes a nontrivial task. In order to address this challenge, we propose the design and implementation of an interactive exploration environment capable of comparing multiple CVs, visualizing their information in a clear manner, whilst maintaining a clean overview. Our approach offers users a new way to explore, assess, and compare multiple CVs.
