| Summary: | Many unstructured documents contain segments with specific topics. Extracting these segments and identifying their topics helps to access the required information directly. This can improve the quality of many NLP applications such as information extraction, information retrieval, summarization, and question answering. Resumes (CVs) are unstructured documents that have diverse formats. They contain various segments such as personal information, experience, and education. Manually processing resumes to find the most suitable candidates for a particular job is a difficult task. Due to the increased amount of data, it has become very necessary to manipulate resumes by computer to save time and effort. This research presents a new algorithm named TSHD for topic segmentation based on headings detection. We apply the algorithm to extract resume segments and identify their topics. The proposed TSHD algorithm is accurate and addresses many weaknesses in previous studies. Evaluation results show a very high F1 score (about 96%) and a very low segmentation error (about 2%). The algorithm can be easily adapted to deal with other textual domains that contain headings in their segments. |
