# Natural Language YouTube Search

[![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/haltakov/natural-language-youtube-search/blob/main/natural-language-youtube-search.ipynb)

Use [OpenAI's CLIP](https://openai.com/blog/clip/) neural network to search inside YouTube videos. You can try it by running the [notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/haltakov/natural-language-youtube-search/blob/main/natural-language-youtube-search.ipynb) on Google Colab.

# New

* Integrated to [Huggingface Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces) with [Gradio](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio). See demo: [![Hugging Face Spaces](https://img.shields.io/badge/%F0%9F%A4%97%20Hugging%20Face-Spaces-blue)](https://huggingface.co/spaces/akhaliq/Video_Search_CLIP)

## How it works

1. Download the YouTube video

2. Extract every N-th frame

3. Encode all frames using CLIP

4. Encode a natural language search query using CLIP

5. Find the images that best match the search query

For more details see the [notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/haltakov/natural-language-youtube-search/blob/main/natural-language-youtube-search.ipynb).
