Google Perspective hate speech detection
Perspective is a machine learning-based tool designed and developed by Jigsaw to help identify and flag toxic and abusive language online. Available by API, the system uses natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to analyse text and predict the likelihood that it will be perceived as toxic or abusive by a human reader. It also takes into account the context in which the text is being used, including the conversation history and the relationships between users. The API provides a score, known as the "toxicity score", which indicates the likelihood that a piece of text will be considered toxic or abusive. The score is based on a range of factors, including the language used, the tone and the context.
