Tournesol is an AGPL open-source platform that crowdsources YouTube recommendation judgments: contributors paste URLs and use a slider to pick which of two videos should be recommended more often, producing a public CC BY dataset and community-driven recommendations shown via browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox). Backend is Django with SciPy/Numpy for ML, frontend in React. Robust aggregation uses a quadratic-regularized median-like method to limit how much small groups can bias scores; defenses include email certification and a vouching system.
