YouTube's content matching algorithm
Sunday, October 11th, 2009 09:55 amI was wondering if I added some static or white noise to the audio of the video that YouTube muted, to reduce the sound quality, if that would let it get by the content-matching algorithm.
Then I found the following very interesting page, which documents the results of assorted detailed tests someone did to change the audio of an upload to see whether YouTube's algorithm would still identify it or not:
Fun with YouTube's Audio Content ID System
So just adding static or white noise probably would not work. But other changes might. Very interesting.
