AI-assisted resume tailoring systems commonly operate on a single uploaded resume, which limits their ability to recover relevant experience omitted from the current draft and makes it difficult for users to distinguish grounded edits from model-generated suggestions. This paper presents Resume Tailor, an agentic resume-tailoring system that maintains a longitudinal career vault in a vector database and uses multi-source retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to assemble job-specific resume content from historical resumes and structured career records. The system is implemented as a 12-node LangGraph pipeline with typed state management, hybrid semantic-lexical confidence scoring, provenance-aware fallback generation, anti-hallucination guardrails, and a conditional review loop. We report a pilot evaluation on nine job descriptions (JDs) across software engineering, data analytics, and business analysis roles using a single candidate's career history. For six JDs where the candidate held at least one prior role in the same occupational category, enabling the career vault improved Applicant Tracking System (ATS)-style fit scores by an average of 7.8 points. For two JDs requiring domain-specific expertise absent from the vault, scores decreased by an average of 8.0 points. One partially overlapping role showed a modest gain of 2 points. These results suggest that longitudinal retrieval can improve resume tailoring when relevant prior experience exists, while also highlighting the need for confidence-gated retrieval when domain overlap is weak.

In this paper we study the trustworthiness of the crowd for crowdsourced software development. Through the study of literature from various domains, we present the risks that impact the trustworthiness in an enterprise context. We survey known techniques to mitigate these risks. We also analyze key metrics from multiple years of empirical data of actual crowdsourced software development tasks from two leading vendors. We present the metrics around untrustworthy behavior and the performance of certain mitigation techniques. Our study and results can serve as guidelines for crowdsourced enterprise software development.

In this work, we propose a new segmentation algorithm for images containing convex objects present in multiple shapes with a high degree of overlap. The proposed algorithm is carried out in two steps, first we identify the visible contours, segment them using concave points and finally group the segments belonging to the same object. The next step is to assign a shape identity to these grouped contour segments. For images containing objects in multiple shapes we begin first by identifying shape classes of the contours followed by assigning a shape entity to these classes. We provide a comprehensive experimentation of our algorithm on two crystal image datasets. One dataset comprises of images containing objects in multiple shapes overlapping each other and the other dataset contains standard images with objects present in a single shape. We test our algorithm against two baselines, with our proposed algorithm outperforming both the baselines.
