How NeuralPath
Works

01
📄

Intelligent Parsing

Upload a resume (PDF/DOCX) and a job description. Claude Sonnet 4 extracts structured skills, experience levels, and role requirements using O*NET taxonomy.

02
🧠

Skill Gap Mapping

A graph-based Knowledge Tracing algorithm computes the delta between current competencies and required role benchmarks, weighted by prerequisite dependencies.

03
⚡

Adaptive Pathway Generation

The engine dynamically constructs a minimal-time learning sequence — skipping known concepts, fast-tracking near-competent areas, prioritizing critical gaps.

04
🔍

Reasoning Trace

Every recommendation is accompanied by a transparent chain-of-thought: why each module was included, skipped, or accelerated — grounded in the course catalog only.

Adaptive Pathing Algorithm

Knowledge Tracing Model

  • Skills modeled as nodes in a directed prerequisite graph
  • Each skill has a proficiency score [0–1] extracted from resume signals
  • Gap score = max(0, role_requirement − current_proficiency)
  • Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) priors applied per skill domain
  • Topological sort ensures prerequisites are always completed first
def compute_gap_score(skill): gap = skill.required - skill.current if gap <= 0.1: # within 10% → skip return "SKIP" elif gap <= 0.3: # accelerate return "FAST_TRACK" return "REQUIRED"

Graph-Based Pathway Optimizer

  • Dijkstra's algorithm finds minimum-time path to full competency
  • Edge weights = estimated learning time × difficulty multiplier
  • Nodes filtered by gap score before traversal (skip ≤ 10% delta)
  • Cross-domain generalization: same algorithm for tech, ops, and soft-skill roles
  • Reasoning trace generated at each decision node for transparency
# Adaptive path with reasoning for module in topo_sort(skill_graph): score = compute_gap_score(module) path.append({ "module": module.name, "action": score, "reason": llm_explain(module, score) })
