Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for evaluating interview videos, especially for soft skills, face challenges in providing objective results due to subjective evaluation criteria and biases from interviewers, leading to mismatched automatic evaluation results with actual company assessments.

Innovation Solution

A server system-based method that trains an evaluation model using video evaluation results from multiple evaluators and recruitment evaluation results to provide accurate automatic evaluation results, incorporating machine-trained deep neural networks and recurrent neural networks to derive feature information from interview videos.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automatic evaluation models are used for interview videos, then evaluation efficiency is improved, but evaluation accuracy and objectivity deteriorate due to subjective criteria and interviewer bias

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation efficiencyVSAvoidevaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces multiple intermediate components: (1) multiple evaluators serve as intermediaries between the interview video and the final evaluation result, (2) an evaluation result aggregation module acts as an intermediary to synthesize multiple evaluator opinions, and (3) a feedback mechanism serves as an intermediary to continuously improve the automatic evaluation model using real evaluation data. This multi-layer intermediary structure reduces the impact of individual subjective biases while maintaining evaluation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where actual evaluation results from multiple evaluators are fed back to train and refine the automatic evaluation model. The system continuously updates the model parameters based on the discrepancy between automatic predictions and actual human evaluations, thereby improving measurement precision over time while maintaining high evaluation efficiency through automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If multiple evaluators are used to reduce bias, then evaluation objectivity is improved, but evaluation time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation objectivityVSAvoidevaluation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having multiple evaluators provide their assessments in parallel during the interview process itself, rather than sequentially. The system prepares and distributes the interview video to multiple evaluators simultaneously, collects their evaluations concurrently, and then aggregates the results. This parallel processing approach maintains evaluation objectivity through multiple perspectives while significantly reducing the total time compared to sequential evaluation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If automatic evaluation models are trained with evaluator data, then model accuracy is improved, but evaluator bias is transferred to the model

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidevaluator bias
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and separates individual evaluator biases from the collective evaluation data through statistical processing. The aggregation module identifies and isolates outlier evaluations that deviate significantly from the consensus, effectively removing biased contributions while retaining the valuable patterns in the majority data. This extracted approach allows the model to learn from accurate evaluation patterns without inheriting individual biases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite evaluation model that combines multiple data sources: automatic video analysis features, multiple evaluator assessments, and feedback from actual hiring outcomes. This composite structure dilutes the impact of any single biased source while amplifying the signal from reliable evaluation patterns. The model integrates heterogeneous data types to achieve robust accuracy without propagating narrow biases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

4Adaptability or versatility

If detailed soft skill evaluation is provided, then evaluation comprehensiveness is improved, but difficulty in individual checking increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation comprehensivenessVSAvoidchecking difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments soft skill evaluation into distinct, measurable dimensions such as communication ability, logical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. Each dimension is evaluated independently by the automatic model and individual evaluators, then aggregated into an overall assessment. This segmentation makes comprehensive soft skill evaluation manageable and verifiable, as each component can be checked separately while maintaining overall comprehensiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
