Rouxbe - Contract

Working with the GATE project, I developed a scalable text mining application, matching cooking skills and technique terms to relevant video content for the Rouxbe startup.

Rouxbe

Business Needs

  • Rouxbe needed to automate the process of linking skills and techniques in their text content to their videos which was a manual process.
  • Using the same automation technique, Rouxbe wanted to provide their partners and associates with ways to link their own content with their videos.

Solutions Provided

  • Using a NLP tool known as GATE, I was able to create a framework that would crawl through Rouxbe's text content and match the relevant skills and techniques to instructional videos.
  • I was able to help Rouxbe increase their site traffic by designing a REST interface allowing third-party sites to easily mine their recipes creating link back relationships to Rouxbe's content. This was accompanied by a simple plugin install process for WordPress and other blogging platforms.
  • Leveraging the same platform, we were able to increase Rouxbe's publisher productivity by building recipe curating work-flow, streamlining the content creation process.
  • Lastly, I worked on developing a learning management input system for rapid white label partner course development.
