Hello there! I'm Colloquium, your trusted companion in navigating the vast world of careers. 🎓✨

Imagine this: You’re standing at the crossroads of your professional life, unsure which path to take. That’s where I come in! My name, Colloquium, comes from the Latin word for conversations, and that’s precisely what we’ll be having—productive, insightful conversations that will help guide you to your dream career.

I am no ordinary career bot. I am designed to provide a seamless, personalized career guidance experience through AI-driven insights, mock interviews, and real-time learning recommendations. Here’s a breakdown of what I can do for you:

• I tailor my advice specifically for you based on your profile, preferences, and goals. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s a journey we’ll embark on together, one step at a time.

• Preparing for a big interview? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! My mock interview module simulates a real interview experience, generating questions based on your resume and field. I also provide constructive feedback and scores so you can track your progress.

• I help you stay updated with the latest research and learning opportunities. Whether you’re a student or a professional, my machine learning algorithms will suggest relevant research papers and online courses to sharpen your skills.

Want to learn a new language? I’ll guide you step-by-step, providing translation and practice opportunities so you can build your communication skills for the global job market.

• Not a fan of typing? No problem! Talk to me using text or voice in five different languages. I am designed to understand you, regardless of your communication style.

Let’s break down the individual conversations—oh, I mean modules—that form the crux of this project:

We’ve designed Course Compass to be your personal navigator in the vast ocean of online courses. Here’s how it helps:

• Web Scraping Magic: It uses BeautifulSoup to fetch the most relevant courses for you.
• Content-Based Filtering: Like a compass guiding you north, we employ a filtering algorithm to recommend similar courses that match your interests.
• Cosine Similarity: How similar are two courses? We compute that using a mathematical measure, ensuring every recommendation is on point!

Wondering how sharp your skills are? Aptitude Ace is here to test your mettle with quizzes on:

• Maths, Probability, and Vocabulary: Classic aptitude topics.
• Time and Work: We even dive into how you manage time! These questions prepare you for anything from competitive exams to job interviews.

Inspired by Google’s Interview Warmup, this module is built for those who want to talk the talk:

• Audio-Powered Interview Simulation: You get to practice interview questions with real-time audio feedback.
• Situational & Critical Thinking: It’s not just the basics; you’ll be answering critical thinking and situational-based questions.
• Answer Analysis: All your answers are stored for further analysis, helping you track improvement over time.

A little self-reflection goes a long way! The Personality Test uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to categorize your personality traits and map them to potential career paths. It’s not just about jobs, it’s about finding what fits you!

In the spirit of this colloquium—our ongoing conversation—every module is a dialogue between you and your potential. Just as the Latin word suggests, colloquium is more than a chat; it is a platform for discussion, knowledge-sharing, and self-discovery. Our project embodies this very essence by offering tailored feedback and tools to engage in your career development conversations.

The job market is more competitive than ever, and the traditional methods of career guidance are outdated. That’s why Colloquium was born! Let’s talk about some features that set me apart:

Most career systems, like Jobscan, focus only on resumes. But I go further—helping you prepare for interviews, analyze your documents, and even offer language support.

Say goodbye to standard interview prep! I simulate domain-specific interviews and provide audio-based feedback to help you improve. My scoring system even compares your answers to ideal responses, ensuring you're on the right track.

The Latin origin of my name, Colloquium, means “conversations.” This system is designed for meaningful exchanges—between you and me—that will guide you through career challenges. Conversations lead to clarity, and clarity leads to success.

Here’s a deeper look at what I bring to the table:

I recommend the best resources for your learning, from research papers to online courses, ensuring you’re always up-to-date in your field.

I will provide a dashboard that highlights the performance of the users in the interviews, warmup sessions, etc.

The secret sauce behind my intelligence is a combination of cutting-edge AI models and machine learning techniques:

• Text Generation: I use microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct to generate smart, context-specific interview questions.
• Document Summarizer: Powered by sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2, I help you extract valuable insights from your resumes and documents.
• Chatbot Engine: My conversational skills come from meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf, making me a skilled career advisor.
• Audio Support: For voice inputs, I use the OpenAI Whisper model to transcribe your words into text, keeping our conversations flowing smoothly.

This platform was created with the aim to:

1. Provide customized career guidance based on user preferences.
2. Align career recommendations with current market trends.
3. Offer mock interviews tailored to specific domains, with feedback.
4. Create personalized aptitude tests to assess skills.
5. Recommend online courses and research papers for continuous professional development.
6. Support users with multimodal input (text, voice, image queries).

Colloquium wasn’t built alone! A dedicated team of data science professionals brought me to life:

• Soham Chatterjee: Backend integration, mock interview warmups, and material recommendation system.
• Ritwika Das Gupta: Multilingual audio chatbot development and personality test integration.
• Sayantan Ray: Aptitude test development, document summarization, and interview bot PDF extraction.

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Apash Roy, these creators ensured I am your go-to career guide!

While I’m already equipped to help you ace your career journey, here’s what’s coming next:

• Speech-Based Interviews: I’m working on enhancing my interview bot with speech capabilities for a fully immersive experience.
• Expanded Course Recommendations: Expect more tailored learning opportunities as I continue to grow my knowledge base.
