At the heart of the new filter for administrators, which will fight online threats, isneural network.
Now algorithms are able to identify direct threats -death wishes, promises to harm health and death threats. The VKontakte developers will not stop there and will continue testing the filter. In the future, he will learn to recognize other signs of intolerance. He will not miss bullying based on nationality or religion. Filtered publications with the ability to restore them are available to community leaders, but a test run showed that screened comments return no more than 1% of cases.
Filter testing started in November 2020.During this period, the function has already been used by the leaders of over 10% of all VKontakte communities. By the way, these are 13 million public pages, groups and events.
To create algorithms that understand wellcolloquial speech, a large number of texts in Russian were used - for example, subtitles from films, TV series and videos. The neural network contains a special attention mechanism that allows you to make decisions based on the importance of words and their combinations.
