Eric Tang: Verification of Decentralized Video Transcoding Decentralized computation can create a more robust and performant internet infrastructure. Livepeer has been focused on creating a decentralized video transcoding network using technologies like Ethereum and Swarm. We’ll present research results in our collaboration with Epic labs, using data science to verify video processing computation and creating a network that’s more reliable and affordable than centralized services like AWS. We’ll also generalize this approach into an approach that can be applied to other decentralized computation problems. About Eric Eric Tang is the CTO of Livepeer. He is interested in distributed and decentralized computing.
