    Uncovering Candidate Potential with Multi-Modal AI Assessments

    Rumi Allbert et al. ResearchGate

    Our AI Match Score combines resume analysis, structured interviews, and role-specific evaluations to outperform traditional screening by 16% (AUC: 0.742 vs. 0.641). It surfaces nearly twice as many qualified candidates, capturing unique potential signals beyond what resumes reveal.

    From Plato to Pixels: Imagination, AI, and the Whole

    Rumi Allbert et al. ResearchGate

    This philosophical exploration traces imagination's evolution from Plato's Forms through medieval theology to modern fragmentation, examining whether AI can truly simulate human creativity. It argues that imagination remains humanity's essential faculty for synthesizing meaning from chaos, even as machines attempt to replicate creation.

    Evaluating Speech-to-Text x LLM x Text-to-Speech Combinations for AI Interview Systems

    Rumi Allbert et al. arXiv

    We present a large-scale empirical comparison of speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech combinations using data from over 300,000 AI-conducted job interviews. Our analysis reveals that Google's STT with GPT-4.1 and Cartesia's TTS outperforms alternatives in both objective quality metrics and user satisfaction scores.
