Abstract
In various embodiments, a workflow engine executes a custom algorithm on a media item. In operation, the workflow engine generates split specifications based on a split function included in a container image. Each split specification is associated with a different portion of the media item. Subsequently, the workflow engine generates map output files based on the split specifications and a map function included in the container image. The workflow engine then generates one or more final output file(s) based on the map output files and a collect function included in the container image. The final output file(s) are subsequently used to perform at least one of an evaluation operation on, a modification operation on, and a representation operation with respect to the media item.
