More accurate, cleaner experience descriptions with Chronos

Experience descriptions in profiles parsed with Chronos are more accurate and cleaner: they stick closer to what the candidate wrote and rarely repeat the job title, company or dates, which stay in their own fields.

Action required

Now: none. POST /profile/parsing/file keeps its parameters and its response, and experiences[].description is still a string.
Later: none. Nothing in this update is deprecated.

What changed

Each experience's description sticks closer to what the candidate wrote about that job: far fewer sentences are reworded, summarized or translated, and far fewer tasks are left out.
The job title, company, dates and location are repeated in description far less often. They stay in title, company, date_start, date_end and location.
When a resume gives a job only its title, company and dates, its description is now left empty in most cases: those details stay in their own fields.
Chronos cuts a single job into two experiences far less often, so fewer experiences come without a title or company.

Performance

On our benchmark:

96.9% of experience descriptions are right, up from 78.14%: 85% fewer errors, such as a repeated job header or a reworded sentence.
99.48% of experience blocks are split into the right jobs, up from 95.61%.

An experience of the parsed profile, for a resume that lists "Product Analyst, Northwind Retail, Lyon, 2021 – 2023" above three tasks, one of them split across two lines:

{
  "title": "Product Analyst",
  "company": "Northwind Retail",
  "description": "* Built the weekly sales dashboard used by the regional teams\n* Ran pricing tests across the store network\n* Trained new analysts on the reporting tools"
}
