Dangalla, H.P.2026-02-062025-12https://rda.sliit.lk/handle/123456789/4539Confidence is vital in the interview process, as it is a key determinant of credibility and competence. Nevertheless, conventional approaches to evaluating confidence are highly dependent on human judgment, which brings in bias and variability. This article suggests an effective machine learning platform which uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) to overcome these shortcomings, offering an objective and scalable method to determine confidence levels in speech during interviews. In this architecture, CNNs extract the spatial characteristics of audio spectrograms, paying attention to the key prosodic variations in pitch and tone that act as confidence indicators. Meanwhile, LSTMs learn the time-varying behavior of these features, enabling the system to identify change in speech rate and time-varying pauses. These models can jointly identify speech as confident or non-confident with 92.5 percent accuracy on labeled data. This system is more precise, recalls higher, and has a better F1 score than current methods. Although the model demonstrates potential in confidence detection, it struggles with extrapolating across accents and languages due to overfitting. But it has a lot of potential in the future as a tool. To overcome future challenges, more diverse datasets and sophisticated methods such as data augmentation and transfer learning can be implemented to enhance the adaptability of the system. Such a framework might be of immense use in practical situations when conducting job interviews, educational evaluations, and coaching in speech delivery, giving consistent, objective measures of confidence. The resultant system might help enhance fairer judgments, offer constructive criticism to applicants, and contribute to making informed choices, benefiting the science of affective computing. It also paves the way to scalable, real-time solutions that could improve human-AI interaction and enhance communication dynamics in various areas.enMeasuringAnalyzingFlask-Based SystemInterviewee SpeechConfidenceSpeech Recognition TechnologyThesis
