ABSTRACT
Nowadays developers heavily rely on sources of informal documentation, including Q&A forums, slides, or video tutorials, the latter being particularly useful to provide introductory notions for a piece of technology. The current practice is that developers have to browse sources individually, which in the case of video tutorials is cumbersome, as they are lengthy and cannot be searched based on their contents.
We present CodeTube, a Web-based recommender system that analyzes the contents of video tutorials and is able to provide, given a query, cohesive and self-contained video fragments, along with links to relevant Stack Overflow discussions. CodeTube relies on a combination of textual analysis and image processing applied on video tutorial frames and speech transcripts to split videos into cohesive fragments, index them and identify related Stack Overflow discussions.

Recommendations
Too long; didn't watch!: extracting relevant fragments from software development video tutorials
ICSE '16: Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Software EngineeringWhen knowledgeable colleagues are not available, developers resort to offline and online resources, e.g., tutorials, mailing lists, and Q&A websites. These, however, need to be found, read, and understood, which takes its toll in terms of time and ...
Extracting code from programming tutorial videos
Onward! 2016: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Symposium on New Ideas, New Paradigms, and Reflections on Programming and SoftwareThe number of programming tutorial videos on the web increases daily. Video hosting sites such as YouTube host millions of video lectures, with many programming tutorials for various languages and platforms. These videos contain a wealth of valuable ...
Associating structured records to text documents
WWW '12 Companion: Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on World Wide WebPostulate two independently created data sources. The first contains text documents, each discussing one or a small number of objects. The second is a collection of structured records, each containing information about the characteristics of some ...
