Truveo; Room 2's Algorithm Competition Begins
Posted 13 May 2008 by
There was an AOL Presentation right after the algorithm competition advancers were announced. They talked about Truveo, which is, put in simple terms, a robust platform for searching videos. Truveo basically crawls the web for videos and stores all sorts of useful data during indexing which simplifies the search process and makes it easier to find videos that you are looking for. AOL are also providing an open API that can be used with the Truveo platform. The Truveo Developer Challenge was also officially announced which involves developing a useful widget using the Truveo API. Sounds interesting.Meanwhile, the second set of finalists for the Algorithm Competition Semi-finals were introduced. The Coding Phase is still in progress and it appears every one of the finalists has been able to finish up with the 250-point problem so far.
