Description (French)
La plateforme MESH Diversity Intelligence évalue la Diversity Intelligence™ des individus, des équipes et des organisations grâce à des algorithmes uniques et exclusifs basés sur des recherches approfondies en sciences du comportement et en EDI. Les améliorations fondamentales de ce projet permettront de créer un grand modèle de langage propriétaire et un moteur d’orchestration qui reliera les mesures culturelles que la plateforme MESH recueille à la vaste bibliothèque de contenu Mesh, le seul grand modèle de langage spécifique à l’EDI de ce type au monde. La deuxième partie du projet s’appuiera sur les grands modèles de langage et le moteur d’orchestration pour créer un nouveau module dans la plateforme Mesh afin de générer automatiquement des questions d’entretien d’embauche basées sur les métriques culturelles de l’organisation qui recrute.
