Reinventing the YouTube algorithm by giving power back to the user.
A video demonstrating the application can be found here.
This application was created by a three-person team of students at the University of Florida for the course Data Structures and Algorithms. The main purpose of this project is to compare breadth-first and depth-first graph traversal algorithms.
YourTube is a full-stack application using C++ and the Qt GUI library to implement an interactive interace with a powerful backend. The user is prompted to select filters that will be applied to a YouTube dataset, allowing the graphing algorithms to intelligently select videos to the users liking.
A customizable algorithm allows the user to see videos that truly interest them, without the intrusive clutter that YouTube currently reccommends.
