Abstract:Effective skills-aware talent recommendation must balance behavioral transition patterns, trajectory-sensitive adaptation, and inspectable occupation-level criteria. Evidence from public benchmarks on how these signals interact, however, remains limited. This study proposes CF-RL-TOPSIS, an interpretable late-fusion model that integrates a transition-aware collaborative branch, a compact reinforcement-style occupation-family bandit, and an entropy-weighted TOPSIS branch constructed from six semantic proxies; the validation-selected fusion coefficients remain auditable. The model is evaluated on two frozen public ICT talent-history benchmarks, JobHop and Karrierewege, using repeated chronological top-5 ranking and paired Wilcoxon tests. On JobHop the full hybrid attains NDCG@5 = 0.3040 +/- 0.0073 and significantly surpasses repeat-last, item Markov, transition-aware collaborative filtering, the CF+TOPSIS hybrid, GRU4Rec, and SASRec (p <= 0.0039 across planned comparisons). On Karrierewege the hybrid remains competitive but does not significantly exceed the strongest Markov baseline, revealing a persistence-dominated setting in which the bandit branch appropriately shrinks to near-zero weight. Proxy-sensitivity, family-level deep Q-network, and runtime checks support this interpretation, and a worked user-level case shows how branch scores, criterion weights, and rank shifts can be inspected for an individual recommendation. The contribution is not a benchmark-agnostic superiority claim, but a reproducible account of the conditions under which transparent late fusion adds value beyond simple continuation heuristics. In semantically rich, non-saturating talent-history regimes the three branches reinforce one another; in persistence-dominated regimes the same architecture remains competitive through its collaborative backbone, with the adaptive branch correctly inactive.
Abstract:In web analytics, cloud-based solutions have limitations in data ownership and privacy, whereas client-side user tracking tools face challenges such as data accuracy and a lack of server-side metrics. This paper presents the Combined Analytics and Web Application Log (CAWAL) framework as an alternative model and an on-premises framework, offering web analytics with application logging integration. CAWAL enables precise data collection and cross-domain tracking in web farms while complying with data ownership and privacy regulations. The framework also improves software diagnostics and troubleshooting by incorporating application-specific data into analytical processes. Integrated into an enterprise-grade web application, CAWAL has demonstrated superior performance, achieving approximately 24% and 85% lower response times compared to Open Web Analytics (OWA) and Matomo, respectively. The empirical evaluation demonstrates that the framework eliminates certain limitations in existing tools and provides a robust data infrastructure for enhanced web analytics.
