Soft Computing Techniques for Skills Assessment of Highly Qualified Personnel

This study applies Artificial Intelligence techniques to analyse the re- sults obtained in different tests to assess the skills of high qualified personnel as engineers, pilots, doctors, dentists, etc. Several Exploratory Projection Pursuit techniques are successfully applied to a novel and real dataset for the assess- ment of personnel skills and to identify weaknesses to be improved in a later phase. These techniques reduce the complexity of the evaluation process and al- low identifying the most relevant aspects in the personnel training in an intui- tive way, enhancing the particular training process and thus, the human resources management as a whole and saving training costs.
