MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007475 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 26, for 'a computer-implemented system and method for adaptive candidate ranking with evidence verification and counterfactual analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Parvathi R; and P. Radha.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for adaptive candidate ranking. The system (100) receives candidate resumes and job descriptions, extracts lexical, semantic, and skill-based features, and computes multiple relevance signals. Candidate-specific adaptive weight recalibration is performed to dynamically adjust signal weights at inference time. An evidence-backed skill verification module (500) validates claimed skills using supporting evidence, while a counterfactual feature-level impact simulation module (550, 600) simulates skill modification to compute ranking score deltas. Resume consistency and trust assessment outputs (700, 750) are incorporated to improve ranking reliability. Final ranked outputs (200) and performance metrics (800) demonstrate improved accuracy, transparency, and robustness over conventional systems. The invention provides a technically efficient, explainable, and auditable ranking framework suitable for large-scale automated evaluation systems."
