Example Use Cases

The violence classifier is designed to uncover instances where people communicate violent threats or reports of violence against others. Used in conjunction with keywords, named entities, and location information, users can filter where threats might be associated with this other pertinent information. The classifier is meant to identify explicit instances of violent language and not about the subject of violence per se.
