AI System for Psychological Well-being Analysis
One of the unique focus areas of the laboratory is the objective assessment of students' psychological and emotional states using cutting-edge technology. The system operates on the basis of DeepFace and MediaPipe neural networks: they analyze human facial expressions, eye movements, and hidden emotions via a camera.
Key Advantages of the System:
Speed: Stress and anxiety levels are determined within just 1–2 minutes, rather than taking weeks.
Accuracy: By analyzing micro-expressions and eye-blinking frequency, at-risk students are identified at an early stage.
Security: The system does not depend on an internet connection; all data is stored exclusively on a local computer within the college (ensuring 100% privacy).
The "Cross-Analysis" Method
By comparing a student's responses in a questionnaire with the actual emotions captured by the AI, the system distinguishes 3 primary states:
Dissonance: The student indicates that "everything is fine," yet the AI detects hidden stress (an attempt to conceal a problem).
Confirmed Crisis: Both the questionnaire and facial expressions indicate high tension (urgent psychological assistance is required).
Apathy: An emotionless face and low activity levels (a sign of emotional burnout).
This solution helps the college systematically monitor students' psychological well-being and minimize the risks of dropout due to academic stress or mental health challenges.
