Title: Behavioral data analysis and scoring system

Description:
CLAIM OF PRIORITY 
     This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/366,703, filed Mar. 27, 2019, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     The competitive nature of employment staffing means businesses must be efficient in their interviewing and hiring practices, and mindful of retaining quality staff. Some employers use a long manual interview process with multiple rounds of in-person interviews to assess candidates. This can cause them to lose the best candidates because their hiring process is too long. And businesses that bring the wrong candidates forward for time-intensive interviews can end up wasting valuable time. Other businesses have tried to streamline and automate their hiring practices. But streamlining comes at the expense of fully assessing potential candidates, which can lead to hiring the wrong candidate. Additionally, when choosing between two qualified candidates for a particular role, it is difficult to know which candidate has a higher likelihood of remaining with the new employer. 
     SUMMARY 
     In some examples, a method includes receiving video input, audio input, and behavioral data input of an interview for each of a plurality of candidates, each candidate having a digital profile in a candidate database; storing an audiovisual interview file for each candidate in the candidate&#39;s respective digital profile; extracting behavioral data from the behavioral data input of each of the plurality of candidates; applying an empathy score model to the behavioral data to determine an empathy score for each candidate; storing the empathy score in each candidate&#39;s respective digital profile; receiving a request from a user to view a digital profile; in response to receiving the request, selecting a digital profile for a selected candidate among the plurality of candidates, the selecting based at least in part on the empathy score of the selected candidate; and sending the selected candidate&#39;s audiovisual interview file to be displayed to the user. 
     In some examples, the behavioral data input is a portion of the audio input, the behavioral data is extracted using speech to text, and the behavioral data is word choice. In some examples, the behavioral data is biometric data. In some examples, the biometric data is a quantitative measurement of the candidate&#39;s body posture during recording of the interview. Some examples further include the step of extracting two or more types of behavioral data, the behavioral data includes facial expression, body posture, vocal tone patterns, word patterns, or length of time of speaking. Some examples further include: for each candidate, receiving resume text and storing the text in the candidate&#39;s candidate profile; analyzing the resume text to determine a career engagement score for each candidate; and in response to receiving the request to view a digital profile, selecting the digital profile for the selected candidate among the plurality of candidates further based at least in part on content in the resume text. 
     In some examples, the empathy score model is generated by: recording a plurality of interviews of individuals in a control group; extracting a set of behavioral data from the interview recordings, the set of behavioral data corresponding to multiple behavioral variables; performing a regression analysis on the set of behavioral data of the control group to determine one or more behavioral variables that correspond to a degree of empathy; and selecting a subset of behavioral variables to be used in the empathy score model; the behavioral data extracted from the interview recording of each of the plurality of candidates corresponds to the selected subset of behavioral variables. In some examples, a method of building an empathy scoring model, the method is included, the method receiving video input, audio input, and behavioral data input of an interview for each of a plurality of candidates; extracting behavioral data from the video input, the audio input, or the behavioral data input; and performing regression analysis on the extracted behavioral data to identify variables among the behavioral data that correspond to a degree of empathy of the candidate, the variables are weighted based on a correlation to the degree of empathy; and storing the empathy scoring model to be applied to candidates in a candidate database. In some examples, the method further includes extracting behavioral data from both the behavioral data input and the audio input. 
     In some examples, each of the audiovisual interview files is a recording of an interview in which a candidate provides verbal answers to multiple interview questions on camera. In some examples, the audiovisual interview file is segmented into clips corresponding to the candidate&#39;s answers to individual interview questions, further can include: extracting first behavioral data from the behavioral data input or the audio input of a first clip corresponding to a first interview question; extracting second behavioral data from the behavioral data input or the audio input of a second clip corresponding to an answer for a second interview question; and graphically displaying the extracted first behavioral data compared to the extracted second behavior data. 
     In some examples, a method includes receiving a plurality of audiovisual interview files for a first plurality of candidates; receiving behavioral data input for each of the candidates, the behavioral data input recorded synchronously with the video in the audiovisual interview files; extracting first behavioral data for each candidate from the behavioral data input; performing regression analysis on the first behavioral data to determine variables among the behavioral data that correspond to a degree of empathy of the candidate in the video; creating a scoring model that scores a candidate&#39;s level of empathy based on the determined variables; receiving audiovisual interview files for a second plurality of candidates; receiving behavioral data input for each of the second plurality of candidates, the behavioral data input recorded synchronously with the video in the audiovisual interview files of the second plurality of candidates; extracting second behavioral data from the behavioral data input for each candidate among the second plurality of candidates, the second behavioral data corresponding to variables found to correspond to a degree of empathy; applying the scoring model to the second behavioral data for the second plurality of candidates to determine an empathy score for each of the second plurality of candidates; receiving a request from a user to view a profile for a candidate among the second plurality of candidates; in response to receiving the request, selecting a candidate from among the second plurality of candidates, the selection based in part on the empathy score of the selected candidate; and sending the selected candidate&#39;s audiovisual interview file to be displayed to the user. 
     In some examples, the first plurality of candidates is a control group of ideal candidates. In some examples, the first plurality of candidates is a group selected from the general population. In some examples, each audiovisual interview file contains video recorded by at least two different cameras. In some examples, the second behavioral data includes data input received from at least two different sensors.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The present disclosure relates to a computer system and method for use in the employment field. The disclosed technology is used to select job candidates that meet desired specifications for a particular employment opening, based on quantitatively measured characteristics of the individual job candidate. In healthcare, an important component of a successful clinician is the capacity for empathy. The technology disclosed herein provides an objective measure of a candidate&#39;s empathy using video, audio, and/or behavioral data recorded during a video interview of the candidate. An empathy score model can be created, and the recorded data can be applied to the empathy score model to determine an empathy score for the job candidate. In another aspect, an attention to detail and a career engagement score can be determined for the candidate. When combined, this is referred to as an “ACE” score, which combines scores for Attention to detail, Career engagement, and Empathy. 
     The system can also include a computer interface for presenting potential job candidates to prospective employers. From the user interface, the prospective employer can enter a request to view one or more candidates having qualities matching a particular job opening. In response to the request, the computer system can automatically select one or more candidates&#39; video interviews and send the one or more video interviews over a computer network to be displayed at the user interface. Users can access this information from multiple types of user interfaces, including personal computers, laptops, tablet computers, and smart phones. 
     The computer system can include a computer having a processor in a computer memory. The computer memory can store a database containing candidate digital profiles for multiple job candidates. The memory can also store computer instructions for performing the methods described in relation to the described technology. The candidate digital profiles can include candidate personal information such as name and address, career-related information such as resume information, one or more audiovisual files of a video interview conducted by the candidate, and one or more scores related to behavioral characteristics of the candidate. The information in the candidate digital profile can be used when the system is automatically selecting the candidate video interviews to be displayed on the user computer. 
     The method can be performed while an individual job candidate is being recorded with audio and video, such as in a video interview. In some examples, the video interview is recorded in a kiosk specially configured to perform the functions described in relation to the disclosed technology. Although the computer system and method will be described in the context of a video interview of an employment candidate, other uses are contemplated and are within the scope of the technology. For example, the system could be applied to recording individuals who are performing entertaining or informative speaking, giving lectures, or other settings in which an individual is being recorded with video and audio. 
     In one aspect of the technology, the system receives video, audio, and behavioral data recorded of a candidate while the candidate is speaking. In some examples, the system uses a kiosk with multiple video cameras to record video images, a microphone to record audio, and one or more sensors to detect behaviors of the candidate during the interview. As used herein, a sensor could be one of a number of different types of measuring devices or computer processes to extract data. One example of a sensor is the imaging sensor of the video camera. In this case, behavioral data could be extracted from the digital video images recorded by the imaging sensor. Another example of a sensor is an infrared sensor that captures motion, depth, or other physical information using electromagnetic waves in the infrared or near-infrared spectrum. Various types of behavioral data can be extracted from input received from an infrared sensor, such as facial expression detection, body movement, body posture, hand gestures, and many other physical attributes of an individual. A third example of a sensor is the microphone that records audio of a candidate&#39;s speech. Data extracted from the audio input can include the candidate&#39;s vocal tone, speech cadence, or the total time spent speaking. Additionally, the audio can be analyzed using speech to text technology, and the words chosen by the candidate while speaking can be analyzed for word choice, word frequency, etc. Other examples of sensors that detect physical behaviors are contemplated and are within the scope of the technology. 
     In one aspect of the technology, the system is used during a video interview of a job candidate. Particular predetermined interview questions are presented to the candidate, and the candidate answers the questions orally while being recorded using audio, video, and behavioral data sensors. In some examples, the nature of a particular question being asked of the candidate determines the type of behavioral data to be extracted while the candidate is answering that question. For example, at the beginning of the interview when the candidate is answering the first interview question, the system can use the measurements as a baseline to compare the candidate&#39;s answers at the beginning of the interview to the answers later in the interview. As another example, a particular interview question can be designed to stimulate a particular type of emotional response from the candidate. Behavioral data recorded while the candidate is answering that interview question can be given more weight in determining an empathy for score for the candidate. 
     Some examples further include receiving information in addition to video, audio, and behavioral data. For example, written input such as resume text for the job candidate can be used as a factor in determining the suitability of a candidate for particular job opening. The system can also receive text or quantitative scores received from questionnaires filled out by the candidate or filled out by another individual evaluating the candidate. This type of data can be used similarly to the behavioral data to infer characteristics about the candidate, such as the candidate&#39;s level of attention to detail, and the candidate&#39;s level of career engagement. 
     In another aspect, the disclosed technology provides a computer system and method for creating an empathy scoring model, and applying the empathy scoring model to behavioral data of a candidate. In this method, the system receives data input for a population of candidates. The data input can include video, audio, and behavior data input recording during video interviews of each of candidates. 
     In some examples, the particular population of candidates is selected based on the candidates&#39; suitability for a particular type of employment. For example, the candidates can be a group of healthcare professionals that are known to have a high degree of desirable qualities such as empathy. In alternative examples, the population of candidates can be selected from the general population; in this case, it would be expected that some candidates have a higher degree of desirable qualities, and some candidates have a lower degree of desirable qualities. 
     In either case, the system extracts behavioral data from the data inputs. A regression analysis is performed on the extracted behavioral data. This allows the system to identify particular variables that correspond to a degree of empathy of the candidate. The system then compiles a scoring model with weighted variables based on the correlation of empathy to the extracted quantitative behavioral data. The scoring model is stored in a candidate database. After the scoring model has been created, it can be applied to new data for job candidates. 
     The system applies the scoring model by receiving behavioral data input from the candidate and extracting behavioral data from the behavioral data input. The extracted behavioral data corresponds to variables found to be relevant to scoring the candidate&#39;s empathy. The extracted behavioral data is then compared to the model, and a score is calculated for the candidate. This score can be stored in the candidate&#39;s candidate digital profile along with a video interview for the candidate. This process is repeated for many potential employment candidates, and each candidate&#39;s score is stored in a digital profile, and accessible by the system. 
     Kiosk System for Recording Audiovisual Interviews 
     In some examples, the disclosed technology can be used in conjunction with a kiosk for recording audio and video of an individual. The kiosk includes multiple cameras, a microphone, and one or more sensors for receiving behavioral data. The kiosk system can be capable of producing audiovisual files from the recorded data. The kiosk can be an enclosed booth with a plurality of recording devices. For example, the kiosk can include multiple cameras, microphones, and sensors for capturing video, audio, and behavioral data of an individual. The video and audio data can be combined to create audiovisual files for a video interview. Behavioral data can be captured by the sensors in the kiosk and can be used to supplement the video interview, allowing the system to analyze subtle factors of the candidate&#39;s abilities and temperament that are not immediately apparent from viewing the individual in the video and listening to the audio. 
     Some examples of the technology provide an enclosed soundproof booth. The booth can contain owner more studio spaces for recording a video interview. Multiple cameras inside of the studio capture video images of an individual from multiple camera angles. A microphone captures audio of the interview. A system clock can be provided to synchronize the audio and video images. Additional sensors can be provided to extract behavioral data of the individual during the video interview. For example, an infrared sensor can be used to sense data corresponding to the individual&#39;s body movements, gestures, or facial expressions. The behavioral data can be analyzed to determine additional information about the candidate&#39;s suitability for particular employment. A microphone can provide behavioral data input, and the speech recorded by the microphone can be extracted for behavioral data, such as vocal pitch and vocal tone, word patterns, word frequencies, and other information conveyed in the speaker&#39;s voice and speech. The behavioral data can be combined with the video interview for a particular candidate and stored in a candidate database. The candidate database can store profiles for many different job candidates, allowing hiring managers to have the flexibility of choosing from a large pool of candidates. 
     In some examples, the kiosk is provided with a local edge server for processing the inputs from the camera, microphone, and sensors. The edge server includes a processor, memory, and a network connection device for communication with a remote database server. This setup allows the system to produce audiovisual interview files and a candidate evaluation as soon as the candidate has finished recording the interview. In some examples, processing of the data input occurs at the local edge server. This includes turning raw video data and audio data into audiovisual files, and extracting behavioral data from the raw sensor data received at the kiosk. In some examples, the system minimizes the load on the communication network by minimizing the amount of data that must be transferred from the local edge server to the remote server. Processing this information locally, instead of sending large amounts of data to a remote network to be processed, allows for efficient use of the network connection. The automated nature of the process used to produce audiovisual interview files and condense the received data inputs reduces server waste. 
     In some examples, two or more cameras are provided to capture video images of the individual during the video interview. In some examples, three cameras are provided: a right side camera, a left side camera, and a center camera. In some examples, each camera has a sensor capable of recording body movement, gestures, or facial expression. In some examples, the sensors can be infrared sensors such as depth sensors. A system with three depth sensors can be used to generate 3D models of the individual&#39;s movement. For example, the system can analyze the individual&#39;s body posture by compiling data from three sensors. This body posture data can then be used to extrapolate information about the individual&#39;s emotional state during the video interview, such as whether the individual was calm or nervous, or whether the individual was speaking passionately about a particular subject. 
     In another aspect, the system can include multiple kiosks at different locations remote from each other. Each kiosk can have an edge server, and each edge server can be in communication with a remote candidate database server. The kiosks at the different locations can be used to create video interviews for multiple job candidates. These video interviews can then be sent from the multiple kiosks to the remote candidate database to be stored for later retrieval. Having a separate edge server at each kiosk location allows for faster queries, making the latest content available more quickly than any type of traditional video production system. 
     Users at remote locations can request to view information for one or more job candidates. Users can access this information from multiple channels, including personal computers, laptops, tablet computers, and smart phones. For example, a hiring manager can request to view video interviews for one or more candidates for a particular job opening. The candidate database server can use a scoring system to automatically determine which candidates&#39; video interviews to send to the hiring manager for review. This automatic selection process can be based in part on analyzed behavioral data that was recorded during the candidate&#39;s video interview. 
     Combining Video and Audio Files 
     The disclosed technology can be used with a system and method for producing audiovisual files containing video that automatically cuts between video footage from multiple cameras. The multiple cameras can be arranged during recording such that they each focus on a subject from a different camera angle, providing multiple viewpoints of the subject. The system can be used for recording a person who is speaking, such as in a video interview. Although the system will be described in the context of a video interview, other uses are contemplated and are within the scope of the technology. For example, the system could be used to record educational videos, entertaining or informative speaking, or other situations in which an individual is being recorded with video and audio. 
     Some implementations provide a kiosk or booth that houses multiple cameras and a microphone. The cameras each produce a video input to the system, and the microphone produces an audio input. A time counter provides a timeline associated with the multiple video inputs and the audio input. The timeline enables video input from each camera to be time-synchronized with the audio input from the microphone. 
     Multiple audiovisual clips are created by combining video inputs with a corresponding synchronized audio input. The system detects events in the audio input, video inputs, or both the audio and video inputs, such as a pause in speaking corresponding to low-audio input. The events correspond to a particular time in the synchronization timeline. To automatically assemble audiovisual files, the system concatenates a first audiovisual clip and a second audiovisual clip. The first audiovisual clip contains video input before the event, and the second audiovisual clip contains video input after the event. The system can further create audiovisual files that concatenate three or more audiovisual clips that switch between particular video inputs after predetermined events. 
     One example of an event that can be used as a marker for deciding when to cut between different video clips is a drop in the audio volume detected by the microphone. During recording, the speaker may stop speaking briefly, such as when switching between topics, or when pausing to collect their thoughts. These pauses can correspond to a significant drop in audio volume. In some examples, the system looks for these low-noise events in the audio track. Then, when assembling an audiovisual file of the video interview, the system can change between different cameras at the pauses. This allows the system to automatically produce high quality, entertaining, and visually interesting videos with no need for a human editor to edit the video interview. Because the quality of the viewing experience is improved, the viewer is likely to have a better impression of a candidate or other speaker in the video. A higher quality video better showcases the strengths of the speaker, providing benefits to the speaker as well as the viewer. 
     In another aspect, the system can remove unwanted portions of the video automatically based on the contents of the audio or video inputs, or both. For example, the system may discard portions of the video interview in which the individual is not speaking for an extended period of time. One way this can be done is by keeping track of the length of time that the audio volume is below a certain volume. If the audio volume is low for an extended period of time, such as a predetermined number of seconds, the system can note the time that the low noise segment begins and ends. A first audiovisual clip that ends at the beginning of the low noise segment can be concatenated with a second audiovisual clip that begins at the end of the low noise segment. The audio input and video inputs that occur between the beginning and end of the low noise segment can be discarded. In some examples, the system can cut multiple pauses from the video interview, and switch between camera angles multiple times. This eliminates dead air and improves the quality of the video interview for a viewer. 
     In another aspect, the system can choose which video input to use in the combined audiovisual file based on the content of the video input. For example, the video inputs from the multiple cameras can be analyzed to look for content data to determine whether a particular event of interest takes place. As just one example, the system can use facial recognition to determine which camera the individual is facing at a particular time. The system then can selectively prefer the video input from the camera that the individual is facing at that time in the video. As another example, the system can use gesture recognition to determine that the individual is using their hands when talking. The system can selectively prefer the video input that best captures the hand gestures. For example, if the candidate consistently pivots to the left while gesturing, a right camera profile shot might be subjectively better than minimizing the candidate&#39;s energy using the left camera feed. Content data such as facial recognition and gesture recognition can also be used to find events that the system can use to decide when to switch between different camera angles. 
     In another aspect, the system can choose which video input to use based on a change between segments of the interview, such as between different interview questions. 
     Video Interview Kiosk ( FIG. 1 ) 
       FIG. 1  shows a kiosk  101  for recording a video interview of an individual  112 . The kiosk  101  is generally shaped as an enclosed booth  105 . The individual  112  can be positioned inside of the enclosed booth  105  while being recorded. Optionally, a seat  107  is provided for the individual  112 . The kiosk  101  houses multiple cameras, including a first camera  122 , a second camera  124 , and a third camera  126 . Each of the cameras is capable of recording video of the individual  112  from different angles. In the example of  FIG. 1 , the first camera  122  records the individual  112  from the left side, the second camera  124  records the individual  112  from the center, and the third camera  126  records the individual  112  from the right side. In some examples, the camera  124  can be integrated into a user interface  133  on a tablet computer  131 . The user interface  133  can prompt the individual to answer interview questions. A microphone  142  is provided for recording audio. 
     The first, second, and third cameras  122 ,  124 ,  126  can be digital video cameras that record video in the visible spectrum using, for example, a CCD or CMOS image sensor. Optionally, the cameras can be provided with infrared sensors or other sensors to detect depth, movement, etc. 
     In some examples, the various pieces of hardware can be mounted to the walls of the enclosed booth  105  on a vertical support  151  and a horizontal support  152 . The vertical support  151  can be used to adjust the vertical height of the cameras and user interface, and the horizontal support  152  can be used to adjust the angle of the cameras  122 ,  124 ,  126 . 
     Schematic of Kiosk and Edge Server ( FIG. 2 ) 
       FIG. 2  shows a schematic diagram of one example of the system. The kiosk  101  includes an edge server  201  that has a computer processor  203 , a system bus  207 , a system clock  209 , and a non-transitory computer memory  205 . The edge server  201  is configured to receive input from the video and audio devices of the kiosk and process the received inputs. 
     The kiosk  101  can further include the candidate user interface  133  in data communication with the edge server  201 . An additional user interface  233  can be provided for a kiosk attendant. The attendant user interface  233  can be used, for example, to check in users, or to enter data about the users. The candidate user interface  133  and the attendant user interface  233  can be provided with a user interface application program interface (API)  235  stored in the memory  205  and executed by the processor  203 . The user interface API  235  can access particular data stored in the memory  205 , such as interview questions  237  that can be displayed to the individual  112  on in the user interface  133 . The user interface API  235  can receive input from the individual  112  to prompt a display of a next question once the individual has finished answering a current question. 
     The system includes multiple types of data inputs. In one example, the camera  122  produces a video input  222 , the camera  124  produces a video input  224 , and the camera  126  produces a video input  226 . The microphone  142  produces an audio input  242 . The system also receives behavioral data input  228 . The behavioral data input  228  can be from a variety of different sources. In some examples, the behavioral data input  228  is a portion of data received from one or more of the cameras  122 ,  124 ,  126 . In other words, the system receives video data and uses it as the behavioral data input  228 . In some examples, the behavioral data input  228  is a portion of data received from the microphone  142 . In some examples, the behavioral data input  228  is sensor data from one or more infrared sensors provided on the cameras  122 ,  124 ,  126 . The system can also receive text data input  221  that can include text related to the individual  112 , and candidate materials  223  that can include materials related to the individual&#39;s job candidacy, such as a resume. 
     In some examples, the video inputs  222 ,  224 ,  226  are stored in the memory  205  of the edge server  201  as video files  261 . In alternative examples, the video inputs  222 ,  224 ,  226  are processed by the processor  203 , but are not stored separately. In some examples, the audio input  242  is stored as audio files  262 . In alternative examples, the audio input  242  is not stored separately. The candidate materials input  223 , text data input  221 , and behavioral data input  228  can also be optionally stored or not stored as desired. 
     In some examples, the edge server  201  further includes a network communication device  271  that enables the edge server  201  to communicate with a remote network  281 . This enables data that is received and/or processed at the edge server  201  to be transferred over the network  281  to a candidate database server  291 . 
     The edge server  201  includes computer instructions stored on the memory  205  to perform particular methods. The computer instructions can be stored as software modules. As will be described below, the system can include an audiovisual file processing module  263  for processing received audio and video inputs and assembling the inputs into audiovisual files and storing the assembled audiovisual files  264 . The system can include a data extraction module  266  that can receive one or more of the data inputs (video inputs, audio input, behavioral input, etc.) and extract behavior data  267  from the inputs and store the extracted behavior data  267  in the memory  205 . 
     Automatically Creating Audiovisual Files from Two or More Video Inputs ( FIGS. 3-7 ) 
     The disclosed system and method provide a way to take video inputs from multiple cameras and arrange them automatically into a single audiovisual file that cuts between different camera angles to create a visually interesting product. 
       FIG. 3  illustrates video frames of video inputs received from different cameras. In this example, video frame  324  is part of the video input  224  that is received from the second camera  124 , which focuses on the individual  112  from a front and center angle. This video input is designated as “Video 1” or simply “Vid1.” The video frame  322  is part of the video input  222  from the first camera  122 , which focuses on the individual  112  from the individual  112 &#39;s left side. This video input is designated as “Video 2” or simply “Vid2.” The video frame  326  is part of the video input  226  from the third camera  126 , which focuses on the individual  112  from the individual  112 &#39;s right side. This video input is designated as “Video 3” or simply “Vid3.” These video inputs can be provided using any of a number of different types of video coding formats. These include but are not limited to MPEG-2 Part 2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10), HEVC, and AV1. 
     Audio inputs  242  can also be provided using any of a number of different types of audio compression formats. These can include but are not limited to MP1, MP2, MP3, AAC, ALAC, and Windows Media Audio. 
     The system takes audiovisual clips recorded during the video interview and concatenates the audiovisual clips to create a single combined audiovisual file containing video of an individual from multiple camera angles. In some implementations, a system clock  209  creates a timestamp associated with the video inputs  222 ,  224 ,  226  and the audio input  242  that allows the system to synchronize the audio and video based on the timestamp. A custom driver can be used to combine the audio input with the video input to create an audiovisual file. 
     As used herein, an “audiovisual file” is a computer-readable container file that includes both video and audio. An audiovisual file can be saved on a computer memory, transferred to a remote computer via a network, and played back at a later time. Some examples of video encoding formats for an audiovisual file compatible with this disclosure are MP4 (mp4, m4a, mov); 3GP (3gp, 3gp2, 3g2, 3gpp, 3gpp2); WMV (wmv, wma); AVI; and QuickTime. 
     As used herein, an “audiovisual clip” is a video input combined with an audio input that is synchronized with the video input. For example, the system can record an individual  112  speaking for a particular length of time, such as 30 seconds. In a system that has three cameras, three audiovisual clips could be created from that 30 second recording: a first audiovisual clip can contain the video input  224  from Vid1 synchronized with the audio input  242  from t=0 to t=30 seconds. A second audiovisual clip can contain the video input  222  from Vid2 synchronized with the audio input  242  from t=0 to t=30 seconds. A third audiovisual clip can contain the video input  226  from Vid3 synchronized with the audio input  242  from t=0 to t=30 seconds.; Audiovisual clips can be created by processing a video input stream and an audio input stream which are then stored as an audiovisual file. An audiovisual clip as described herein can be but is not necessarily stored in an intermediate state as a separate audiovisual file before being concatenated with other audiovisual clips. As will be described below, in some examples, the system will select one video input from a number of available video inputs and use that video input to create an audiovisual clip that will later be saved in an audiovisual file. In some examples, the unused video inputs may be discarded. 
     Audiovisual clips can be concatenated. As used herein, “concatenated” means adding two audiovisual clips together sequentially in an audiovisual file. For example, two audiovisual clips that are each 30 seconds long can be combined to create a 60-second long audiovisual file. In this case, the audiovisual file would cut from the first audiovisual clip to the second audiovisual clip at the 30 second mark. 
     During use, each camera in the system records an unbroken sequence of video, and the microphone records an unbroken sequence of audio. An underlying time counter provides a timeline associated with the video and audio so that the video and audio can be synchronized. 
     In one example of the technology, the system samples the audio track to automatically find events that trigger the system to cut between video inputs when producing an audiovisual file. In one example, the system looks for segments in the audio track in which the volume is below a threshold volume. These will be referred to as low noise audio segments. 
       FIG. 4  is a graph  411  representing the audio volume in an audio track over time. The graph conceptually shows the audio volume of the audio input in decibels (D) versus time in seconds (t). In some examples, the system uses a particular threshold volume as a trigger to determine when to cut between the video inputs. For example, in  FIG. 4 , the threshold level is 30 decibels. One method of finding low noise audio segments is to calculate an average decibel level over a particular range of time, such as 4 seconds. If the average decibel level during that period of time is below the threshold level, the system will mark this as a low noise audio segment. 
     Applying this method to  FIG. 4 , the system computes the average (mean) volume over each four-second interval for the entire length of the audio track, in this case, in the range between t=0 and t=35. Consider an average decibel level over a four second interval between t=5 and t=9. In this case, although the volume falls below 30 decibels for a short period of time, the average volume over that four second period is greater than 30 decibels, and therefore this would not be considered a low noise audio segment. Over the four second interval from t=11 to t=15 seconds, the average volume is less than 30 decibels, and therefore this would be considered a low noise audio segment. In some examples, as soon the system detects an event corresponding to a low noise audio segment, the system marks that time as being a trigger to switch between video inputs. 
     In some examples, the system marks the beginning and end of the low noise audio segments to find low noise audio segments of a particular length. In this example, the system computes the average (mean) volume over each four second interval, and as soon the average volume is below the threshold volume (in this case 30 decibels), the system marks that interval as corresponding to the beginning of the low noise audio segment. The system continues to sample the audio volume until the average audio volume is above the threshold volume. The system then marks that interval as corresponding to the end of the low noise audio segment. 
     The system uses the low noise audio segments to determine when to switch between camera angles. After finding and interval corresponding to the beginning or end of the low noise audio segments, the system determines precisely at which time to switch. This can be done in a number of ways, depending upon the desired result. 
     In the example of  FIG. 4 , the system could determine that the average volume of the four second interval between=10 and t=12 drops below the threshold volume. The system could use the end of that interval (t=12) to be the time to switch. Alternatively, the system could determine that the average volume of the four-second interval between t=18 and t=22 increases above the threshold volume, and determine that the beginning of that interval (t=18) as the time to switch. The system could also use the midpoint of the beginning and end of the intervals to switch (i.e., midway between t=12 and t=18). Other methods of determining precisely when in the timeline to make the switch are possible and are within the scope of the technology. 
     In some examples, the system is configured to discard portions of the video and audio inputs that correspond to a portion of the low noise audio segments. This eliminates dead air and makes the audiovisual file more interesting for the viewer. In some examples, the system only discards audio segments that our at least a predetermined length of time, such as at least 2 seconds, at least 4 seconds, at least 6 seconds, at least 8 seconds, or at least 10 seconds. This implementation will be discussed further in relation to  FIG. 6 . 
     Automatically Concatenating Audiovisual Clips ( FIG. 5 ) 
       FIG. 5  illustrates a system and method for automatically creating a combined audiovisual file containing video images from two or more video inputs. For the sake of simplicity, only two video inputs are illustrated in  FIG. 5 . It should be understood, however, that the method and system could be adapted to any number of video inputs. 
     The system includes two video inputs: Video 1 and Video 2. The system also includes an Audio input. In the example of  FIG. 5 , the video inputs and the audio input are recorded simultaneously. The two video inputs and the audio input are each recorded as an unbroken sequence. A time counter, such as the system clock  209 , provides a timeline  501  that enables a time synchronization of the two video inputs and the audio input. The recording begins at time to and ends at time t n . 
     In the example of  FIG. 5 , the system samples the audio track to determine low noise audio segments. For example, the system can use the method as described in relation to  FIG. 4 ; however, other methods of determining low noise audio segments are contemplated and are within the scope of the disclosed technology. 
     Sampling the audio track, the system determines that at time t 1 , a low noise audio event occurred. The time segment between t=t 0  and t=t 1  is denoted as Seg1. To assemble a combined audiovisual file  540 , the system selects an audiovisual clip  541  combining one video input from Seg1 synchronized with the audio from Seg1, and saves this audiovisual clip  541  as a first segment of the audiovisual file  540 —in this case, Vid1.Seg1 (Video 1 Segment 1) and Aud.Seg1 (audio Segment 1). In some examples, the system can use a default video input as the initial input, such as using the front-facing camera as the first video input for the first audiovisual clip. In alternative examples, the system may sample content received while the video and audio are being recorded to prefer one video input over another input. For example, the system may use facial or gesture recognition to determine that one camera angle is preferable over another camera angle for that time segment. Various alternatives for choosing which video input to use first are possible and are within the scope of the technology. 
     The system continues sampling the audio track, and determines that at time t 2 , a second low noise audio event occurred. The time segment between t=t 1  and t=t 2  is denoted as Seg2. For this second time segment, the system automatically switches to the video input from Video 2, and saves a second audiovisual clip  542  containing Vid2.Seg2 and Aud.Seg2. The system concatenates the second audiovisual clip  542  and the first audiovisual clip  541  in the audiovisual file  540 . 
     The system continues sampling the audio track, and determines that at time t 3 , a third low noise audio event occurred. The time segment between t=t 2  and t=t 3  is denoted as Seg3. For this third time segment, the system automatically cuts back to the video input from Video 1, and saves a third audiovisual clip  543  containing Vid1.Seg3 and Aud.Seg3. The system concatenates the second audiovisual clip  542  and the third audiovisual clip  543  in the audiovisual file  540 . 
     The system continues sampling the audio track, and determines that at time t 4 , a fourth low noise audio event occurred. The time segment between t=t 3  and t=t 4  is denoted as Seg4. For this fourth time segment, the system automatically cuts back to the video input from Video 2, and saves a fourth audiovisual clip  544  containing Vid2.Seg4 and Aud.Seg4. The system concatenates the third audiovisual clip  543  and the fourth audiovisual clip  544  in the audiovisual file  540 . 
     The system continues sampling the audio track, and determines that no additional low noise audio events occur, and the video input and audio input stop recording at time t n . The time segment between t=t 4  and t=t 0  is denoted as Seg5. For this fifth time segment, the system automatically cuts back to the video input from Video 1, and saves a fifth audiovisual clip  545  containing Vid1.Seg5 and Aud.Seg5. The system concatenates the fourth audiovisual clip  544  and the fifth audiovisual clip  545  in the audiovisual file  540 . 
     In some examples, audio sampling and assembling of the combined audiovisual file is performed in real-time as the video interview is being recorded. In alternative examples, the video input and audio input can be recorded, stored in a memory, and processed later to create a combined audiovisual file. In some examples, after the audiovisual file is created, the raw data from the video inputs and audio input is discarded. 
     Automatically Removing Pauses and Concatenating Audiovisual Clips ( FIG. 6 ) 
     In another aspect of the technology, the system can be configured to create combined audiovisual files that remove portions of the interview in which the subject is not speaking.  FIG. 6  illustrates a system and method for automatically creating a combined audiovisual file containing video images from two or more video input, where a portion of the video input and audio input corresponding to low noise audio segments are not included in the combined audiovisual file. For the sake of simplicity, only two video inputs are illustrated in  FIG. 6 . It should be understood, however, that the method and system could be adapted to any number of video inputs. 
     In the example of  FIG. 6 , the system includes a video input Video 1 and Video number two. The system also includes an Audio input. The video inputs and the audio input are recorded simultaneously in an unbroken sequence. A time counter, such as the system clock  209 , provides a timeline  601  that enables a time synchronization of the two video inputs and the audio input. The recording begins at time to and ends at time t n . 
     As in the example of  FIG. 5 , the system samples the audio track to determine low noise audio segments. In  FIG. 6 , the system looks for the beginning and end of low noise audio segments, as described above with relation to  FIG. 4 . Sampling the audio track, the system determines that at time t 1 , a low noise audio segment begins, and at time t 2 , the low noise audio segment ends. The time segment between t=t 0  and t=t 1  is denoted as Seg1. To assemble a combined audiovisual file  640 , the system selects an audiovisual clip  641  combining one video input from Seg1 synchronized with the audio from Seg1, and saves this audiovisual clip  641  as a first segment of the audiovisual file  640 —in this case, Vid1.Seg1 (Video 1 Segment 1) and Aud.Seg1 (audio Segment 1). The system then disregards the audio inputs and video inputs that occur during Seg2, the time segment between t=t 1  and t=t 2 . 
     The system continues sampling the audio track, and determines that at time t 3 , a second low noise audio segment begins, and at time t 4 , the second low noise audio segment ends. The time segment between t=t 2  and t=t 3  is denoted as Seg3. For this time segment, the system automatically switches to the video input from Video 2, and saves a second audiovisual clip  642  containing Vid2.Seg3 and Aud.Seg3. The system concatenates the second audiovisual clip  642  and the first audiovisual clip  641  in the audiovisual file  640 . 
     The system continues sampling the audio input to determine the beginning and end of further low noise audio segments. In the example of  FIG. 6 , Seg6 is a low noise audio segment beginning at time t 5  and ending at time t 6 . Seg 8 is a low noise audio segment beginning at time t 7  and ending at time t 8 . The system removes the portions of the audio input and video inputs that fall between the beginning and end of the low noise audio segments. At the same time, the system automatically concatenates retained audiovisual clips, switching between the video inputs after the end of each low noise audio segment. The system concatenates the audiovisual clips  643 ,  644 , and  645  to complete the audiovisual file  640 . The resulting audiovisual file  640  contains audio from segments 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The audiovisual file  640  does not contain audio from segments 2, 4, 6, or 8. The audiovisual file  640  contains alternating video clips from Video 1 and Video 2 that switch between the first video input and the second video input after each low noise audio segment. 
     Automatically Concatenating Audiovisual Clips with Camera Switching in Response to Switch-Initiating Events ( FIG. 7 ) 
     In another aspect of the technology, the system can be configured to switch between the different video inputs in response to events other than low noise audio segments. These events will be generally categorized as switch-initiating events. A switch-initiating event can be detected in the content of any of the data inputs that are associated with the timeline. “Content data” refers to any of the data collected during the video interview that can be correlated or associated with a specific time in the timeline. These events are triggers that the system uses to decide when to switch between the different video inputs. For example, behavioral data input, which can be received from an infrared sensor or present in the video or audio, can be associated with the timeline in a similar manner that the audio and video images are associated with the timeline. Facial recognition data, gesture recognition data, and posture recognition data can be monitored to look for switch-initiating events. For example, if the candidate turns away from one of the video cameras to face a different video camera, the system can detect that motion and note it as a switch-initiating event. Hand gestures or changes in posture can also be used to trigger the system to cut from one camera angle to a different camera angle. 
     As another example, the audio input can be analyzed using speech to text software, and the resulting text can be used to find keywords that trigger a switch. In this example, the words used by the candidate during the interview would be associated with a particular time in the timeline. 
     Another type of switch-initiating event can be the passage of a particular length of time. A timer can be set for a number of seconds that is the maximum desirable amount of time for a single segment of video. For example, an audiovisual file can feel stagnant and uninteresting if the same camera has been focusing on the subject for more than 90 seconds. The system clock can set a 90 second timer every time that a camera switch occurs. If it is been greater than 90 seconds since the most recent switch-initiating event, expiration of the 90 second timer can be used as the switch-initiating event. Other amounts of time could be used, such as 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 60 seconds, etc., depending on the desired results. 
     Conversely, the system clock can set a timer corresponding to a minimum number of seconds that must elapse before a switch between two video inputs. For example, the system could detect multiple switch-initiating events in rapid succession, and it may be undesirable to switch back-and-forth between two video inputs too quickly. To prevent this, the system clock could set a timer for 30 seconds, and only register switch-initiating events that occur after expiration of the 30 second timer. Though resulting combined audiovisual file would contain audiovisual clip segments of 30 seconds or longer. 
     Another type of switch-initiating event is a change between interview questions that the candidate is answering, or between other segments of a video recording session. In the context of an interview, the user interface API  235  ( FIG. 2 ) can display interview questions so that the individual  112  can read each interview question and then respond to it verbally. The user interface API can receive input, such as on a touch screen or input button, to indicate that one question has been answered, and prompt the system to display the next question. The prompt to advance to the next question can be a switch-initiating event. 
     Turning to  FIG. 7 , the system includes two video inputs: Video 1 and Video 2. The system also includes an Audio input. In the example of  FIG. 7 , the video inputs and the audio input are recorded simultaneously. The two video inputs and the audio input are each recorded as an unbroken sequence. A time counter, such as the system clock  209 , provides a timeline  701  that enables a time synchronization of the two video inputs and the audio input. The recording begins at time to and ends at time t n . In some examples, the system of  FIG. 7  further includes behavioral data input associated with the timeline  701 . 
     In the example of  FIG. 7 , the system automatically samples the audio input for low noise audio segments in addition to detecting switch-initiating events. The system can sample the audio input using the method as described in relation to  FIG. 4 ; however, other methods of determining low noise audio segments are contemplated and are within the scope of the disclosed technology. 
     In  FIG. 7 , the audio track is sampled in a manner similar to that of  FIG. 5 . The system determines that at time t 1 , a low noise audio event occurred. The time segment between t=t 0  and t=t 1  is denoted as Aud.Seg1. However, no switch-initiating event was detected during Aud.Seg1. Therefore, unlike the system of  FIG. 5 , the system does not switch video inputs. 
     At time t 2 , the system detects a switch-initiating event. However, the system does not switch between camera angles at time t 2 , because switch-initiating events can occur at any time, including during the middle of a sentence. Instead, the system in  FIG. 7  continues sampling the audio input to find the next low noise audio event. This means that a switch between two camera angles is only performed after two conditions have been met: the system detects a switch-initiating event, and then, after the switch-initiating event, the system detects a low noise audio event. 
     In some examples, instead of continuously sampling the audio track for low noise audio events, the system could wait to detect a switch-initiating event, then begin sampling the audio input immediately after the switch-initiating event. The system would then cut from one video input to the other video input at the next low noise audio segment. 
     At time t 3 , the system determines that another low noise audio segment has occurred. Because this low noise audio segment occurred after a switch-initiating event, the system begins assembling a combined audiovisual file  740  by using an audiovisual clip  741  combining one video input (in this case, Video 1) with synchronized audio input for the time segment t=t 0  through t=t 3 . 
     The system then waits to detect another switch-initiating event. In the example of  FIG. 7 , the system finds another low noise audio event at t 4 , but no switch-initiating event has yet occurred. Therefore, the system does not switch to the second video input. At time t 5 , the system detects a switch-initiating event. The system then looks for the next low noise audio event, which occurs at time t 6 . Because time t 6  is a low noise audio event that follows a switch-initiating event, the system takes the audiovisual clip  742  combining video input from Video 2 and audio input from the time segment from t=t 3  to t=t 6 . The audiovisual clip  741  is concatenated with the audiovisual clip  742  in the audiovisual file  740 . 
     The system then continues to wait for a switch-initiating event. In this case, no switch-initiating event occurs before the end of the video interview at time t n . The audiovisual file  740  is completed by concatenating an alternating audiovisual clip  743  containing video input from Video 1 to the end of the audiovisual file  740 . 
     The various methods described above can be combined in a number of different ways to create entertaining and visually interesting audiovisual interview files. Multiple video cameras can be used to capture a candidate from multiple camera angles. Camera switching between different camera angles can be performed automatically with or without removing audio and video corresponding to long pauses when the candidate is not speaking. Audio, video, and behavioral inputs can be analyzed to look for content data to use as switch-initiating events, and/or to decide which video input to use during a particular segment of the audiovisual file. Some element of biofeedback can be incorporated to favor one video camera input over the others. 
     Networked Video Kiosk System ( FIG. 8 ) 
     In a further aspect, the system provides a networked system for recording, storing, and presenting audiovisual interviews of multiple employment candidates at different geographic sites. As seen in  FIG. 8 , the system can use multiple kiosks  101  at separate geographic locations. Each kiosk  101  can be similar to kiosk  101  shown in  FIG. 2 , with multiple video cameras, a local edge server, etc. Each of the kiosks  101  can be in data communication with a candidate database server  291  via a communication network  281  such as the Internet. Audiovisual interviews that are captured at the kiosks  101  can be uploaded to the candidate database server  291  and stored in a memory for later retrieval. Users, such as recruiters or hiring managers, can request to view candidate profiles and video interviews over the network  281 . The system can be accessed by multiple devices, such as laptop computer  810 , smart phone or tablet  812 , and personal computer  814 . 
     In addition or in the alternative, any of the individual kiosks  101  in a networked system, such as shown in  FIG. 8 , can be replaced by alternate kiosk  1700  or alternate kiosk  1901 , described herein with respect to  FIGS. 17-19 . 
     Candidate Database Server ( FIGS. 9-10 ) 
       FIG. 9  is a schematic view of a candidate database server system according to some examples. Candidate database server  291  has a processor  905 , a network communication interface  907 , and a memory  901 . The network communication interface  907  enables the candidate database server  291  to communicate via the network  281  with the multiple kiosks  101  and multiple users  910 , such as hiring managers. The users  910  can communicate with the candidate database server  291  via devices such as the devices  810 ,  812 , and  814  of  FIG. 8 . 
     The candidate database server  291  stores candidate profiles  912  for multiple employment candidates.  FIG. 10  is a schematic view of candidate profiles  912 . Each candidate in the system has a candidate profile. The candidate profiles  912  store data including but not limited to candidate ID, candidate name, contact information, resume text, audiovisual interview file, extracted behavioral data, which can include biometric data, a calculated empathy score, an interview transcript, and other similar information relevant to the candidate&#39;s employment search. 
     The memory  901  of the candidate database server  291  stores a number of software modules containing computer instructions for performing functions necessary to the system. A kiosk interface module  924  enables communication between the candidate database server  291  and each of the kiosks  101  via the network  281 . A human resources (HR) user interface module  936  enables users  910  to view information for candidates with candidate profiles  912 . As will be discussed further below, a candidate selection module  948  processes requests from users  910  and selects one or more particular candidate profiles to display to the user in response to the request. 
     In another aspect, the system further includes a candidate scoring system  961  that enables scoring of employment candidates based on information recorded during a candidate&#39;s video interview. As will be discussed further below, the scoring system  961  includes a scoring model data set  963  that is used as input data for creating the model. The data in the model data set  963  is fed into the score creation module  965 , which processes the data to determine variables that correlate to a degree of empathy. The result is a score model  967 , which is stored for later retrieval when scoring particular candidates. 
     Although  FIG. 9  depicts the system with a single candidate database server  291 , it should be understood that this is a representative example only. The various portions of the system could be stored in separate servers that are located remotely from each other. The data structures presented herein could furthermore be implemented in a number of different ways, and are not necessarily limited to the precise arrangement described herein. 
     Recording Audiovisual Interviews 
     In some examples, audiovisual interviews for many different job candidates can be recorded in a kiosk such as described above. To begin the interview, the candidate sits or stands in front of an array of video cameras and sensors. The height and position of each of the video cameras may be adjusted to optimally capture the video and the behavioral data input. In some examples, a user interface such as a tablet computer is situated in front of the candidate. The user interface can be used to present questions to the candidate. 
     In some examples, each candidate answers a specific number of predetermined questions related to the candidate&#39;s experience, interests, etc. These can include questions such as: Why did you choose to work in your healthcare role? What are three words that others would use to describe your work? How do you handle stressful work situations? What is your dream job? Tell us about a time you used a specific clinical skill in an urgent situation? Why are you a great candidate choice for a healthcare employer? 
     The candidate reads the question on the user interface, or an audio recording of the question can be played to the candidate. In response, the candidate provides a verbal answer as though the candidate were speaking in front of a live interviewer. As the candidate is speaking, the system is recording multiple video inputs, audio input, and behavioral data input. A system clock can provide a time synchronization for each of the inputs, allowing the system to precisely synchronize the multiple data streams. In some examples, the system creates a timestamp at the beginning and/or end of each interview question so that the system knows which question the individual was answering at a particular time. In some examples, the video and audio inputs are synchronized and combined to create audiovisual clips. In some examples, each interview question is saved as its own audiovisual file. So for example, an interview that posed five questions to the candidate would result in five audiovisual files being saved for the candidate, one audiovisual file corresponding to each question. 
     In some examples, body posture is measured at the same time that video and audio are being recorded while the interview is being conducted, and the position of the candidate&#39;s torso in three-dimensional space is determined. This is used as a gauge for confidence, energy, and self-esteem, depending on the question that the candidate is answering. One example of such a system is provided below. 
     Method of Building an Empathy Score Model ( FIG. 11A ) 
       FIG. 11A  illustrates one example of a method for building an empathy score model. The method can be performed in conjunction with technology described above related to a multi-camera kiosk setup capable of concatenating audiovisual files from multiple video inputs. However, other alternatives are possible and are within the scope of the employment candidate empathy scoring system described herein. The method can be performed in connection with recording an audiovisual interviews of multiple job candidates. The method receives a number of different types of data recorded during each interview. In some examples, individuals that are interviewed are chosen from among a pool of candidates having qualities that are known to be related to a particular degree of empathy. In some examples, the pool of candidates are known to have a high degree of empathy. In alternative examples, the pool of candidates is drawn from the general population, in which case, it would be expected that the pool of candidates would have a wide range of degrees of empathy. 
     In some examples, empathy score models are created for different individual roles within a broader employment field. For example, an ideal candidate benchmark for a healthcare administrator could be very different from the benchmark for an employee that has direct hands-on contact with patients. 
     By taking the measurements of ideal candidates, we have a base line that can be utilized. We can then graph the changes and variations for new candidates by the specific interview questions we have chosen. By controlling for time and laying over the other candidates&#39; data, a coefficient of variation can be created per question and overall. Depending on the requirements of the position we are trying to fill, we can select candidates who appear more competent in a given area, such as engagement, leadership or empathy. 
     Turning to  FIG. 11A , in step  1101 , behavioral data input for multiple individuals is received. In some examples, the behavioral data input is video data. In some examples, the behavioral data input is audio data. In some examples, the behavioral data input is sensor data, such as data output from an infrared sensor. In some examples, the behavioral data input is text data, such as resume text, written text input, or text extracted from recorded speech using text to speech software. The behavioral data input can be one type of data, or multiple different types of data can be used as behavioral data input. 
     Each individual within the pool of candidates provides behavioral data. In some examples, the pool of candidates is a predetermined size to effectively represent a general population, while remaining small enough to efficiently analyze the data. For example, the sample size of the pool of candidates can be at least 30 individuals, at least 100 individuals, at least 200 individuals, at least 300 individuals or at least 400 individuals. In some examples, the sample size of the pool candidates can be less than 500 individuals, less than 400 individuals, less than 300 individuals, less than 200 individuals, or less than 100 individuals. In some examples, the pool of candidates can be between about 30 and 500 individuals, between about 100 and 400 individuals, or between about 100 and 300 individuals. In some examples, the sample size of the pool of candidates can be approximately 300 individuals. 
     In step  1102 , behavioral data is extracted from the behavioral data input. Extraction of the behavioral data is accomplished differently depending on which type of input is used (video, audio, sensor, etc.). In some examples, multiple variables are extracted from each individual type of behavioral data. For example, a single audio stream can be analyzed for multiple different types of characteristics, such as voice pitch, tone, cadence, the frequency with which certain words are used, length of time speaking, or the number of words per minute spoken by the individual. Alternatively or in addition, the behavioral data can be biometric data, including but not limited to facial expression data, body posture data, hand gesture data, or eye movement data. Other types of behavioral data are contemplated and are within the scope of the technology. 
     In step  1103 , the behavioral data is analyzed for statistical relevance to an individual&#39;s degree of empathy. For example, regression analysis can be performed on pairs of variables or groups of variables to provide a trend on specific measures of interest. In some cases, particular variables are not statistically relevant to degree of empathy. In some cases, particular variables are highly correlated to a degree of empathy. After regression analysis, a subset of all of the analyzed variables are chosen as having statistical significance to a degree of empathy. In step  1104 , each of the variables found to be relevant to the individual&#39;s degree of empathy is given a weight. The weighted variables are then added to an empathy score model in step  1105 , and the empathy score model is stored in a database in step  1106 , to be retrieved later when analyzing new candidates. 
     Method of Applying an Empathy Score Model ( FIG. 11B ) 
     Turning to  FIG. 11B , in some examples, a method of applying an empathy score model is provided. The method can be performed in conjunction with technology described above related to a multi-camera kiosk set up capable of concatenating audiovisual files from multiple video inputs. Other alternatives are possible and are within the scope of the employment candidate empathy scoring system. In steps  1111 - 1114 , a number of different types of data are received. In some examples, the data is recorded during video interviews of multiple job candidates. For each job candidate the system receives: video data input  1111 , audio data input  1112 , and behavioral data input  1113 . Optionally, the system receives text data input  1114 . In some examples, the video data input  1111 , audio data input  1112 , and behavioral data input  1113  is recorded simultaneously. In some examples, these data inputs are associated with a timestamp provided by a system clock that indicates a common timeline for each of the data inputs  1111 - 1113 . In some examples, the data inputs that are received are of the same type that were determined to have statistical significance to a degree of empathy of a candidate in steps  1103 - 1104  of  FIG. 11A . 
     In step  1121 , the system takes the video data input  1111  and the audio data input  1112  and combines them to create an audiovisual file. In some examples, the video data input  1111  includes video data from multiple video cameras. In some examples, the video data input  1111  from multiple video cameras is concatenated to create an audiovisual interview file that cuts between video images from multiple cameras as described in relation to  FIGS. 3-7 . In some examples, the video data input  1111  and the audio data input  1112  is synchronized to create a single audiovisual file. In some examples, the video data input  1111  is received from a single video camera, and be audiovisual file comprises the video data from the single video camera and the audio data input  1112  that are combined to create a single audiovisual file. 
     In step  1123 , behavioral data is extracted from the data inputs received in steps  1111 - 1114 . The behavioral data is extracted in a manner appropriate to the particular type of data input received. For example, if the behavioral data is received from an infrared sensor, the pixels recorded by the infrared sensor are analyzed to extract data relevant to the candidate&#39;s behavior while the video interview was being recorded. One such example is provided below in relation to  FIGS. 13-15 , although other examples are possible and are within the scope of the technology. 
     In step  1131 , the audiovisual file, the extracted behavioral data, and the text (if any) is saved in a profile for the candidate. In some examples, this data is saved in a candidate database as shown and described in relation to  FIG. 9 . 
     In step  1141 , the information saved in the candidate profile in the candidate database is applied to the empathy score model. Application of the empathy score model results in an empathy score for the candidate based on the information received in steps  1111 - 1114 . In step  1151 , the empathy score is then saved in the candidate profile of that particular individual. 
     Optionally, a career engagement score is applied in step  1142 . The career engagement score is based on a career engagement score model that measures the candidate&#39;s commitment to advancement in a career. In some examples, the career engagement score receives text from the candidate&#39;s resume received in step  1114 . In some examples, the career engagement score receives text extracted from an audio input by speech to text software. The career engagement score model can be based, for example, in the number of years that the candidate has been in a particular industry, or the number of years that the candidate has been in a particular job. In some examples, keywords extracted from the audio interview of the candidate can be used in the career engagement score. In examples in which the candidate receives a career engagement score, the career engagement score is stored in the candidate profile in step  1152 . 
     In some examples, the system provides the candidate with an attention to detail score in step  1143 . The attention to detail score can be based, for example, on text received from the text data input step  1114 . The input to the attention to detail score model can be information based on a questionnaire received from the candidate. For example, the candidate&#39;s attention to detail can be quantitatively measured based on the percentage of form fields that are filled out by the candidate in a pre-interview questionnaire. The attention to detail score can also be quantitatively measured based on the detail provided in the candidate&#39;s resume. Alternatively or in addition, the attention to detail score can be related to keywords extracted from the audio portion of a candidate interview using speech to text. In step  1153 , the attention to detail score is stored in the candidate&#39;s profile. 
     Optionally, the candidate&#39;s empathy score, career engagement score, and attention to detail score can be weighted to create a combined score incorporating all three scores at step  1154 . This can be referred to as an “ACE” score (Attention to detail, Career engagement, Empathy). In some examples, each of the three scores stored in steps  1151 - 1153  are stored individually in a candidate&#39;s profile. These three scores can each be used to assess a candidate&#39;s appropriateness for a particular position. In some examples, different employment openings weight the three scores differently. 
     Method of Selecting a Candidate Profile in Response to a Request ( FIG. 12 ) 
       FIG. 12  shows a method for using scored candidate profiles within a candidate database to select particular candidates to show to a user in response to a query to view candidate profiles. In a system that manages hundreds if not thousands of candidate profiles for different employment candidates, selecting one or more candidate video interviews to display to a hiring manager is time consuming and labor intensive if done manually. Furthermore, in some instances only a portion of a video interview is desired to be shown to a hiring manager. Automating the process of selecting which candidates to display to the hiring manager, and which particular video for each candidate should be displayed, improves the efficiency of the system and speeds up the cycle of recording the video interviews, showing the video interviews to the hiring manager, and ultimately placing the employment candidate in a job. 
     The method of  FIG. 12  can be used in conjunction with the methods described in relation to the  FIGS. 11A-11B . In step  1201 , a request is received over a network from a user such as a human resources manager. The network can be similar to that described in relation to  FIG. 8 . The user can query the system via a number of user devices, including devices  810 - 814 . However, the technology should not be interpreted as being limited to the system shown in  FIG. 8 . Other system configurations are possible and are within the scope of the present technology. 
     The request received in step  1201  can include a request to view candidates that conform to a particular desired candidate score as determined in steps  1151 - 1153 . In step  1202 , a determination is made of the importance of an empathy score to the particular request received in step  1201 . For example, if the employment opening for which a human resources manager desires to view candidate profiles is related to employment in an emergency room or a hospice setting, it may be desired to select candidates with empathy scores in a certain range. In some examples, the request received in step  1201  indicates a request that includes a desired range of empathy scores. In some example, the desired range of empathy scores is within the highest 50% of candidates. In some example, the desired range of empathy scores is within the highest 25% of candidates. In some examples, the desired range of empathy scores is when in the highest 15% of candidates or 10% candidates. 
     Alternatively, in some examples, the request received in step  1201  includes a request to view candidates for employment openings that do not require a particular degree of empathy. This would include jobs in which the employee does not interact with patients. Optionally, for candidates who do not score within the highest percentage of candidates in the group, these candidates can be targeted for educational programs that will increase these candidates&#39; empathy levels. 
     In step  1203 , candidates that fall within the desired range of empathy scores are selected as being appropriate to being sent to the user in response to the request. This determination is made at least part on the empathy score of the particular candidates. In some examples, the system automatically selects at least 1 candidate in response to the request. In some examples, the system includes a maximum limit of candidates to be sent in response to request. In some examples, the system automatically selects a minimum number of candidates in response to the request. In some examples, the system automatically selects a minimum of 1 candidate. In some examples, the system automatically selects a maximum of 20 or fewer candidates. In some examples, the system automatically selects between 1 and 20 candidates, between 1 and 10 candidates, between 5 and 10 candidates, between 5 and 20 candidates, or other ranges between 1 and 20 candidates. 
     In some examples, the system determines an order in which the candidates are presented. In some examples, the candidates are presented in order of empathy scores highest to lowest. In alternative examples, candidates are presented based on ACE scores. In some examples, these candidates are presented in the rank from highest to lowest. In some examples, the candidates could first be selected based on a range of empathy scores, and then the candidates that fall within the range of empathy scores could be displayed in a random order, or in order from highest to lowest based on the candidate&#39;s ACE score. 
     In step  1205 , in response to the request at  1201 , and based on the steps performed in  1202 - 1204 , the system automatically sends one or more audiovisual files to be displayed at the user&#39;s device. The audiovisual files correspond to candidate profiles from candidates whose empathy scores fall within a desired range. In some examples, the system sends only a portion of a selected candidate&#39;s audiovisual interview file to be displayed to the user. 
     In some examples, each candidate has more than one audiovisual interview files in the candidate profile. In this case, in some examples the system automatically selects one of the audiovisual interview files for the candidate. For example, if the candidate performed one video interview that was later segmented into multiple audiovisual interview files such that each audiovisual file contains an answer to a single question, the system can select a particular answer that is relevant to the request from the hiring manager, and send the audiovisual file corresponding to that portion of the audiovisual interview. In some examples, behavioral data recorded while the candidate was answering a particular question is used to select the audiovisual file to send to the hiring manager. For example, the system can select a particular question answered by the candidate in which the candidate expressed the greatest amount of empathy. In other examples, the system can select the particular question based on particular behaviors identified using the behavioral data, such as selecting the question based on whether the candidate was sitting upright, or ruling out the audiovisual files in which the candidate was slouching or fidgeting. 
     System and Method for Recording Behavioral Data Input ( FIG. 13 ) 
     A system for recording behavioral data input, extracting behavioral data from the behavioral data input, and using the extracted behavioral data to determine an empathy score for candidate is presented in relation to  FIGS. 13-15 . The system uses data related to the candidate&#39;s body and torso movement to infer the candidate&#39;s level of empathy. Although one particular implementation of the system is described here, other implementations are possible and are within the scope of the disclosed technology. 
       FIG. 13  shows a method and system for recording behavioral data input. For ease of illustration,  FIG. 13  shows the kiosk  101  from  FIG. 1 . It should be understood that other system set ups can be used to provide the same function, and the scope of the disclosed technology is not limited to this kiosk system. The system of  FIG. 13  includes an enclosed booth  105 , and houses multiple cameras  122 ,  124 ,  126  for recording video images of a candidate  112 . As previously stated, each of the multiple cameras  122 ,  124 ,  126  can include a sensor for capturing video images, as well as an infrared depth sensor  1322 ,  1324 ,  1326  respectively, capable of sensing depth and movement of the individual. 
     In some examples, each of the cameras  122 ,  124 ,  126  is placed approximately one meter away from the candidate  112 . In some examples, the sensor  1324  is a front-facing camera, and the two side sensors  1322  and  1326  are placed at an angle in relation to the sensor  1324 . The angle can vary depending on the geometry needed to accurately measure the body posture of the candidate  112  during the video interview. In some examples, the sensors  1322 ,  1324 ,  1326  are placed at a known uniform height, forming a horizontal line that is parallel to the floor. 
     In some examples, the two side sensors  1322  and  1326  are angled approximately 45 degrees or less in relation to the front-facing sensor  1324 . In some examples, the two side sensors  1322  and  1326  are angled 90 degrees or less in relation to the front-facing sensor  1324 . In some examples, the two side sensors  1322  and  1326  are angled at least 20 degrees in relation to the front-facing sensor  1324 . In some examples, the sensor  1322  can have a different angle with respect to the front-facing sensor  1324  than the sensor  1326 . For example, the sensor  1322  could have an angle of approximately 45 degrees in relation to the front-facing sensor  1324 , and the sensor  1326  could have an angle of approximately 20 degrees in relation to the front-facing sensor  1324 . 
     In  FIG. 13 , dashed lines schematically represent the infrared sensors detecting the location of the candidate  112  within the space of the kiosk  101 . The depth sensor emits infrared light and detects infrared light that is reflected. In some examples, the depth sensor captures an image that is 1,024 pixels wide and 1,024 pixels high. Each pixel detected by the depth sensor has an X, Y, and Z coordinate, but the pixel output is actually on a projection pane represented as a point (X, Y, 1). The value for Z (the depth, or distance from the sensor to the object reflecting light) can be calculated or mapped. 
       FIGS. 14A-14C  show three images of a candidate  112  being recorded by the sensors in  FIG. 13 . It should be noted that the depth sensors would not pick up the amount of detail depicted in these figures, and these drawings are presented for ease of understanding.  FIGS. 14A-C  represent 1,024 by 1,024 pixel images detected by the depth sensor. With frame rates of 30 to 90 frames per second, the range of possible data points if each pixel were to be analyzed is between 217,000 and 1 million pixels. Instead of looking at every one of these pixels, the system instead selectively looks for the edge of the candidate&#39;s torso at four different points: the right shoulder (point A), the left shoulder (point B), the left waistline (point C), and the right waistline (point D). The infrared pixel data received by each sensor represents a grid of pixels each having an X value and a Y value. The system selects two Y values, y 1  and y 2 , and looks only at pixels along those two horizontal lines. Therefore, the system only needs to take as input the pixels at points (x n , y 1 ) and (x n , y 2 ), where x n  represents the values between x=1 and x=1,024. 
     Additionally, to limit the amount of pixel data that the system must analyze, the system does not search for these points in every frame captured by the sensors. Instead, because the individual&#39;s torso cannot move at a very high speed, it is sufficient to sample only a few frames per second. For example, the system could sample 5 frames per second, or as few as 2 frames per second, and discard the rest of the pixel data from the other frames. 
     Example of Determining Points A, B, C, and D 
     In  FIG. 13 , the sensor  1326  emits infrared light in a known pattern. The infrared light is reflected back after it hits an object. This reflected light is detected by the sensor  1326  and is saved as a grid of pixels. In  FIG. 13 , infrared light emitted from sensor  1326  along the line  1336  hits the edge of the candidate  112 &#39;s shoulder and is reflected back. Infrared light emitted from sensor  1326  along the line  1346  hits the back wall of the kiosk  101  and is reflected back. The light that traverses the lines  1336  and  1346  are saved as separate pixels. The pixels have X values and Y values. The system can calculate the Z values corresponding to the distance of the object from the sensor. In this example, the system determines that the Z value for the pixel projected along line  1336  is significantly smaller than the Z value for the pixel projection along line  1346 . The system then infers that this point marks the edge of the individual&#39;s torso. In  FIG. 14C , the system designates this point as point A on the individual&#39;s right shoulder. The system samples additional pixels along the line Y=y 1 , and similarly determines that the pixel projected along line  1337  marks the other edge of the individual&#39;s torso. The system designates this point as point B on the individual&#39;s left shoulder. 
     The system then repeats this process for the line of pixels at Y=y 2  in a similar manner. The system marks the edge of the individual&#39;s torso on the left and right sides as points C and D respectively. The system performs similar operations for each of the sensors  1322  and  1324 , and finds values for points A, B, C, and D for each of those frames. 
     The system designates the location of the camera as point E. Points A, B, C, D, and E can be visualized as a pyramid having a parallelogram shaped base ABCD and an apex at point E, as seen in  FIGS. 15A-C .  FIG. 15A  represents the output of the calculation in  FIG. 14A ,  FIG. 15B  represents the output of the calculation in  FIG. 14B , and  FIG. 15C  represents the output of the calculation in  FIG. 14C . Point L is designated as the intersection between lines  AC  and  BD . The length of line  EL  represents approximately the distance of the center of the individual&#39;s torso to the sensor. 
     The system stores at least the following data, which will be referred to here as “posture volumes data”: the time stamp at which the frame was recorded; the coordinates of points A, B, C, D, E, and L; the volume of the pyramid ABCDE; and the length of line  EL . In practice, simple loops can be programmed to make these calculations on-the-fly. Because the sensor data being analyzed by the system is a very small subset of all of the available sensor data, the system is capable of performing this analysis in real time while the individual is being recorded with audio and video. 
     A further advantage is that the sensor data, being recorded simultaneously with the audio and video of the candidate&#39;s interview, can be time synchronized with the content of the audio and video. This allows the system to track precisely what the individual&#39;s torso movements were during any particular point of time in the audiovisual file. As will be shown in relation to  FIGS. 16A-B , the posture volumes data can be represented as a graph with time on one axis and the posture volumes data on a second axis. A person viewing the graph can visually analyze the changes in the individual&#39;s torso, and jump immediately to the audio and video of that portion of the interview. 
     Graphing Extracted Behavioral Data ( FIGS. 16A-B ) 
     Some movements by the candidate can correspond to whether a candidate is comfortable or uncomfortable during the interview. Some movements indicate engagement with what the candidate is saying, while other movements can reflect that a candidate is being insincere or rehearsed. These types of motions include leaning into the camera or leaning away from the camera; moving slowly and deliberately or moving with random movements; or having a lower or higher frequency of body movement. The candidate&#39;s use of hand gestures can also convey information about the candidate&#39;s comfort level and sincerity. The system can use the movement data from a single candidate over the course of an interview to analyze which question during the interview the candidate is most comfortable answering. The system can use that information to draw valuable insights about the candidate. For example, if the movement data indicates that the candidate is most comfortable during a question about their background, the system may deduce that the candidate is likely a good communicator. If the movement data indicates that the candidate is most comfortable during a question about their advanced skills or how to provide care in a particular situation, the system may deduce that the candidate is likely a highly-skilled candidate. 
     In one aspect, the system can generate a graph showing the candidate&#39;s movements over the course of the interview. One axis of the graph can be labeled with the different question numbers, question text, or a summary of the question. The other axis of the graph can be labeled with an indicator of the candidate&#39;s movement, such as leaning in versus leaning out, frequency of movement, size of movement, or a combination of these. 
     In one aspect, in addition or alternatively, the system can select which portion of the candidate interview to show to a user based on the movement data. The portion of the interview that best highlights the candidate&#39;s strengths can be selected. In addition or alternatively, a user can use a graph of movement of a particular candidate to decide which parts of an interview to view. The user can decide which parts of the interview to watch based on the movement data graphed by question. For example, the user might choose to watch the part of the video where the candidate showed the most movement or the least movement. Hiring managers often need to review large quantities of candidate information. Such as system allows a user to fast forward to the parts of a candidate video that the user finds most insightful, thereby saving time. 
     Users can access one particular piece of data based on information known about another piece of data. For example, the system is capable of producing different graphs of the individual&#39;s torso movement over time. By viewing these graphs, one can identify particular times at which the individual was moving a lot, or not moving. A user can then request to view the audiovisual file for that particular moment. 
       FIGS. 16A and 16B  show two examples of graphs that can be created from behavioral data gathered during the candidate video interview. A human viewer can quickly view these graphs to determine when the candidate was comfortable during a question, or when the candidate was fidgeting. With this tool, a hiring manager can look at the graph before viewing the video interview and select a particular time in the timeline that the hiring manager is interested in seeing. This allows the hiring manager to efficiently pick and choose which portions of the video interviews to watch, saving time and energy. 
       FIG. 16A  shows an example of a graph of data from among the posture volume data described above. In particular,  FIG. 16A  graphs the volume of the pyramid ABCDE from  FIGS. 15A-C  as the volume changes over time. The line  1622  represents volume data collected from sensor  1322  versus time, the line  1624  represents volume data collected from sensor  1324  versus time, and the line  1626  represents volume data collected from sensor  1326  versus time. These lines correspond to movement in the individual&#39;s torso during the video interview. 
     Reading the graph in  16 A allows a user to see what the candidate&#39;s motion was like during the interview. When the individual turns away from a sensor, the body becomes more in profile, which means that the area of the base of the pyramid becomes smaller and the total volume of the pyramid become smaller. When the person turns toward a sensor, the torso becomes more straight on to the camera, which means that the area of the base of the pyramid becomes larger. When the line for the particular sensor is unchanged over a particular amount of time, it can be inferred that the individual&#39;s torso was not moving. 
       FIG. 16  B is a graph showing the individual&#39;s distance from the camera to the “center of mass lean,” defined as the average value of the length of lines EL for the pyramids calculated for sensors  1322 ,  1324 ,  1326 . From this simple graph, we might infer that the candidate felt particularly strongly about what they were saying because they leaned into the camera at that moment, or that they wished to create distance from their statements at times when they leaned away from the camera. In  FIG. 16B , the line  1651  represents whether the individual is leaning in toward the camera or leaning away from the camera. When the value L is large, the individual can be inferred to be leaning in toward the camera. When the value L is small, the individual can be inferred to be leaning away from the camera, or slouching. 
     Method of Evaluating an Individual Based on a Baseline Measurement for the Individual 
     In some examples, the system uses movement data in one segment of a candidate&#39;s video interview to evaluate the candidate&#39;s performance in a different part of the video interview. Comparing the candidate to themselves from one question to another provides valuable insight and does not need a large pool of candidates or computer-intensive analysis to analyze the movement of a large population. 
     In one aspect, the candidate&#39;s body posture and body motion are evaluated at the beginning of the interview, for example over the course of answering the first question. This measurement is used as a baseline, and the performance of the candidate during the interview is judged against the performance during the first interview question. This can be used to determine the portion of the interview in which the candidate feels the most comfortable. The system can then prioritize the use of that particular portion of the interview to show to hiring managers. Other uses could include deciding which portions of the behavioral data to use when calculating an empathy score for the candidate. 
     In this aspect, the system takes a first measurement of the individual at a first time. For example, the system could record posture data and calculate posture volume data for the candidate over the time period in which the candidate was answering the first interview question. This data can be analyzed to determine particular characteristics that the individual showed, such as the amount that the volume changed over time, corresponding to a large amount or small amount of motion. The system can also analyze the data to determine the frequency of volume changes. Quick, erratic volume changes can indicate different empathy traits versus slow, smooth volume changes. This analysis is then set as a baseline against which the other portions of the interview will be compared. 
     The system then takes a second measurement of the individual at a second time. This data is of the same type that was measured during the first time period. The system analyzes the data from the second time period in the same manner that the first data was analyzed. The analysis of the second data is then compared to the analysis of the first data to see whether there were significant changes between the two. This comparison can be used to determine which questions the candidate answered the best, and where the candidate was most comfortable speaking. This information then can be used to select which portion of the video interview to send to a hiring manager. 
     As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms include the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
