A system and method for video authentication may apply machine learning to analyze whether a person's face captured by live video matches a face in a photo ID captured by live video and to analyze other features based on a video session with the person. For example, machine learning may be applied to analyze a set of features indicating whether the person is a real, live person (as opposed to a photo image held up over the person's face in the video, etc.). Finally, the machine learning may be applied to analyze a set of features to determine whether a lower probability prediction that the person's face captured by live video matches a face in a photo ID captured by live video should be either pass authentication (due to one or more features/circumstances mitigating the lower probability) or fail authentication (due to one or more features not mitigating the lower probability). In such a situation, the set of features may indicate that mitigating factors/conditions exist that can offset the lower probability.
