Hierarchical Video RAG Pipeline
Long-form YouTube content is nearly impossible to navigate or study from — raw transcripts blow past context windows and key insights stay buried.
Built a batched hierarchical summarization pipeline that compresses transcripts in stages, then layered retrieval-augmented Q&A on top with a Streamlit interface for notes, flashcards, and multi-video queries.
- Queryable knowledge base from multi-hour playlists
- Deployed live — in active use as a study tool
- Context-window constraints solved via staged compression
