Overview

Problem Statement

Nowadays, online video platforms mostly recommend related videos by analyzing user-driven data such as viewing patterns, rather than the content of the videos. However, content is more important than any other element when videos aim to deliver knowledge.

Solution

The web application we have developed recommends related TED lecture videos to the users, considering the content of the videos from the transcripts.

Demo

Following demonstrates the web application.
