To take your idea even further, one of the ideas i've been batting around with is to create some sort of learning algo which runs through a video or song, skips forward and back a set number of times to random timestamps to decide if that video or song is something I would be interested in based on my listening history.
I feel this is how I currently approach an unfamiliar artist or creator - skip ahead to random points in the video and if I still find them engaging, I rewatch from 0. This type of AI would be so great.
- RBerenguel 6y agoThere's no AI in my program, it's as simple as it sounds: get regular screenshots from the video, collate the corresponding closed captions. One natural improvement of this, though, using some ML would be to focus on the slides when there is a slide+banner+floating head type of presentation. That wouldn't be terribly hard to implement in Python, in Haskell would get me ages (there's Hasktorch, but I havent' tried it, also I have many more years of Python behind me). Your idea sounds intriguing, though. I wonder how one could measure _interest_ in this regard, some form of entropy measure might be right, but how to construct it would be the fun part.
