Description

Bodyguard, an anti-cyber-bullying app, built its predictive model and a meta-learning model with OVHcloud AutoML and scikit-learn, running on OVHcloud Public Cloud instances. The source states detection accuracy rose from 80% to 90%, false positives fell from 6% to 3%, and more than 2 million hateful comments were deleted in 20 months.

Solution

Bodyguard used OVHcloud AutoML, a distributed and scalable machine learning platform, together with open-source scikit-learn algorithms to build a predictive model and a meta-learning model that analyses the relationship between the author of the content and the commenter. The infrastructure runs on three OVHcloud Public Cloud instances.
