Abstract: A system and method are presented that improves search results based on skills associated with individuals. The system monitors an individual's contributions to a third-party forum and associates the contributions with skills. The system also monitors learnings received by the individual. Assignments are made to associate the individual with the skills and to assign points. Users request a search based on search skill parameters, and the system uses forum-based data and non-forum data to identify and sort individuals. Skill and point assignments are made temporarily, and assignments are deleted upon the expiration of a time-to-live clock. Save events can permanently save data. Local forum data is also stored and can be used to restore deleted assignments. Points are used to improve avatars used when interacting with searching users.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a level of empathy of an employment candidate is provided. One aspect includes receiving video input, audio input, and behavioral data input of an interview for each of a plurality of candidates. Behavioral data is extracted from the behavioral data input. An audiovisual interview file is saved in a candidate database. In response to receiving a request to view a candidate profile, the system selects one candidate from among a plurality of candidates, the selecting based at least in part on the empathy score of the selected candidate. In another aspect, a candidate can answer multiple questions during a video interview. The behavioral data extracted from a first portion of the video interview can be compared to behavioral data from a second portion of the video interview.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a method for document creation. The method can include presenting a frame, presenting a first portion of a first collection of data, receiving a denial of the first portion of the first collection for the first group, presenting a first portion of a second collection of data for the first group, receiving a confirmation of the second collection for the first group, presenting a second portion of the first collection of data, receiving a confirmation or a denial of the second portion of the first collection for the second group, presenting a second portion of the second collection of data for the second group, after receiving a denial of the second portion of the first collection, receiving a confirmation of the second portion of the second collection for the second group, compiling confirmed portions of data into a prose output, and presenting the prose output.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically concatenating two or more audiovisual clips containing video input from multiple cameras, and producing a combined audiovisual file containing video that switches between the two video inputs. In some examples, two video inputs and an audio input are recorded synchronously and are synchronized. The audio input can be sampled to locate low-noise audio events. The audiovisual file contains video that switches between two or more camera angles at the low-noise audio events. In one aspect, pauses are automatically removed from the audiovisual files. In another aspect, the system detects switch-initiating events, and switches between camera angles in response to detecting a switch-initiating event.

Abstract: A system and method are presented to create custom versions for users of recorded sessions of individuals. Individuals are recorded at a booth responding to prompts. Audio and visual data recorded at the booth are divided into time segments according to the timing of the prompts. Depth sensors at the booth are used to assign score values to time segments. Prompts are related to criteria that were selected as being relevant to an objective. Users are associated with subsets of criteria in order to identify subsets of prompts whose responses are relevant to the users. Time segments of audio and visual data created by the identified subset of prompts are selected. The selected time segments are ordered according to herd behavior analysis. Lesser weighted time segments may be redacted. The remaining portions of ordered time segments are presented to the user as a custom version.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for combining visual recordings from a camera, audio recordings from a microphone, and behavioral data recordings from behavioral sensors, during a panel discussion. Cameras and other sensors can be assigned to specific individuals or can be used to create recordings from multiple individuals simultaneously. Separate recordings are combined and time synchronized, and portions of the synchronized data are then associated with the specific individuals in the panel discussion. Interactions between participants are determined by examining the individually assigned portions of the time synchronized recordings. Events are identified in the interactions and then recorded as separate event data associated with individuals.

Abstract: A system and method are presented that improves search results based on skills associated with individuals. The system monitors an individual's contributions to a third-party forum and associates the contributions with skills. The system also monitors learnings received by the individual. Assignments are made to associate the individual with the skills and to assign points. Users request a search based on search skill parameters, and the system uses forum-based data and non-forum data to identify and sort individuals. Skill and point assignments are made temporarily, and assignments are deleted upon the expiration of a time-to-live clock. Save events can permanently save data. Local forum data is also stored and can be used to restore deleted assignments. Points are used to improve avatars used when interacting with searching users.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a method of connecting an employer with a candidate, comprising: receiving criteria data from the employer regarding a job opening; receiving background data from the candidate; recording data of the candidate in a video interview; analyzing the data of the candidate with speech-to-text analysis to identify candidate data, comparing real-time connection attributes to the candidate data; if a threshold amount of real-time connection attributes are satisfied by the candidate data, then sending, a first offer to the employer for a real-time connection with the candidate; receiving an employer acceptance of the first offer for a real-time connection with the candidate; sending a second offer to the candidate for a real-time connection with the employer; receiving a candidate acceptance; and connecting the candidate and the employer in real time by establishing a live audio connection or a live audio and video connection.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for recording audio and video of an individual within a kiosk on separate audio and video computers that are locally connected to the kiosk. Instructions are provided to the individual through a locally connected controller computer. A remote user computer requests recorded data from the kiosk. The controller computer prompts the audio and video computers to separately stream audio and video to the remote user computer. The controller computer divides the audio and video data into time segments, and then presents different versions of the session to different users, with each different version comprising a different set of time segments. A central system server provides searching capabilities to the user computer to search and request data from a plurality of remotely located kiosks, each having separate controller, audio, and video computers.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a method for sorting data. The method can include: receiving criteria data from a user regarding an open opportunity; receiving candidate data, storing candidate data in a candidate profile in a candidate database; evaluating the candidate data, wherein evaluating the candidate data comprises: comparing the audio data of the candidate to a database of successfully-selected candidates to determine an N-gram analysis result for the candidate data, wherein the N-gram analysis includes creating a textual transcript of the audio data for a portion audio data; removing stop words from the textual transcript; creating an N-gram data set based on the textual transcript with stop words removed; comparing the N-gram data set of the candidate data to an N-gram data set of the successfully-selected candidates; and sorting the candidate data within a plurality of other candidate data using the N-gram analysis result.
