Evaluating Semantic Search vs. Keyword Search for Educational Video Retrieval in Technical Subjects

Started July 17, 2025

Abstract or project description

Computer engineering students often struggle to find clear, structured, and relevant video content that precisely addresses the topics they're learning — such as Verilog, cache design, or pipelining. Mainstream platforms like YouTube are cluttered, lack technical depth filtering, and offer minimal support for semantic search or automatic topic indexing. As a result, students spend valuable time hunting for content instead of absorbing knowledge. The goal of this project is to design and develop a smart video hosting platform tailored specifically for the computer engineering domain. This web-based system will allow educators and students to upload, access, and explore educational videos with built-in AI features.
