That particular speaker came from the Library of Congress, which I wrote a scraper for.
The first level of categories come from either Youtube or the AlchemyAPI, depending on the talk. Levels 2+ are from AlchemyAPI or the scrape. The taxonomy they use is for advertising, and Youtube's categories match up with level 1 of that taxonomy. The taxonomy lacks detail for programming topics so I wrote a script to tag things that mention programming languages.
- mistermann 9y agoGreat thank you. If the code isn't confidential I'd love to take a look, but understand if it isn't.
