AI-Powered Interview Integrity Detection

Advanced behavioral analysis system to analyze interview video recordings and detect potential integrity issues such as cheating, external help, unauthorized assistance, or reading from scripts.

Core Features:

• Multi-Face Detection: Identifies if multiple people are present during interview
• Eye Gaze Tracking: Analyzes where candidate is looking (camera, off-screen, reading)

• Off-Screen Interaction: Identifies when candidate is talking to someone off-camera
• Eye Contact Analysis: Measures quality and consistency of eye contact
• Body Language Assessment: Evaluates posture, movement, and professionalism
• Environment Review: Assesses interview environment appropriateness
• Integrity Scoring: Calculates 0-100 integrity score based on all factors

Analysis Process:

1. Video Frame Extraction

• After interview completes, system starts behavioral analysis
• Extracts 1 frame every 10 seconds from interview recording
• Processes frames for AI vision analysis
• Typical 30-minute interview = approximately 180 frames analyzed

2. Per-Frame Vision Analysis

• Number of faces: Detects multiple people (cheating indicator)
• Eye gaze direction: Camera, left, right, down, up, or off-screen
• Reading patterns: Eyes moving left-right rapidly (script reading)
• Off-screen interaction: Talking to someone not visible
• Eye contact quality: How often looking at camera
• Body language: Posture, fidgeting, professionalism
• Environment: Background, lighting, appropriateness

3. Metric Aggregation

• Multiple faces detected: -40 points (maximum deduction)
• Off-screen interaction: -30 points (maximum)
• Reading behavior: -25 points (maximum)
• Excessive looking away (>50% of frames): -15 points (maximum)

4. Integrity Score Calculation

• Starts at 100 points
• Deducts points based on violation severity and frequency
• Final score: 0-100

5. Summary Generation

• 90-100: "High integrity interview" - minimal concerns
• 70-89: "Moderate integrity concerns" - some suspicious behavior
• 50-69: "Significant integrity concerns" - multiple red flags
• <50: "Major integrity issues detected" - serious violations
