Like for example: I watch a random youtube video & on that video it mentions something (an idea, item, person etc.) that isn’t related to the topic of the video, it caught my interest & before I complete the full sentence or word on youtube search bar the specific thing that I was interested it is suddenly on the top row of search recommendations, that’s more strange is that the video I viewed wasn’t even popular nor mainstream but instead it’s an obscure one & this is not even the first time it happened.
My hypothesis for this is that youtube has an AI that listened to the audio of every video uploaded & collects the words said on the videos which they use when someone watch a video that the AI recognize then recommends it on search bar, or maybe not so if I’m wrong about my theory can someone explain how youtube does this?
In: Technology
YouTube can predict what you might search next because it uses advanced machine learning algorithms that analyze your viewing habits and interactions with videos. This technology learns from patterns in what you watch and how you engage with content, as well as how other users behave. YouTube combines this with natural language processing, which helps understand and predict search queries by analyzing the text related to videos, such as titles and descriptions.
Additionally, YouTube’s algorithms use collaborative filtering, which pools data from all users to identify trends and make predictions. This means if other people who watched the same videos as you often search for something specific afterward, YouTube might suggest that search to you, too.
In essence, YouTube’s ability to anticipate your search queries is based on analyzing large amounts of data to identify patterns, rather than listening to the content of the videos themselves. It’s about understanding behavior on a broad scale and using that information to make educated guesses about what you might be interested in next.
