Actually, that's my fault. We (oDesk) recently introduced a job post text parser that examines the text of the job description and auto-suggests skills. The parser uses the levenshtein distance to find approximate matches, and in the cases you flagged, the job descriptions used the word "closure" which the parser converts to "clojure." I probably need to add "clojure" to the parser's stop word list...
- chc 15y agoHeh, interesting. I can't believe it didn't occur to me that an overzealous algorithm might be to blame. FYI, you'll probably also want to add "closure" itself if a lot of people are using it in that way, since there's a Google library called "Closure" that might get added to your skills database at some point.
