Abstract
Transversal skills, such as decision-making, leadership, and creativity, are relevant in areas like education and recruitment. Traditional skill assessments often lack scalability and objectivity. This paper introduces a novel software tool for assessing transversal skills through multimodal video analysis using artificial intelligence. The tool extracts textual, audio, and visual cues to evaluate skills comprehensively. Fuzzy logic transforms quantitative data into meaningful linguistic labels for interpretability. The software includes a RESTful API with endpoints for video scoring and rule customisation, alongside user interfaces for uploading videos, receiving feedback, and defining rules. Results are provided in interpretable reports, offering a scalable solution for objective assessment.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
