Project Overview
"Ally considers context, nuance and the relationships between users versus seeking and blocking keywords. The software uses natural language understanding and AI to identify the intent of a message, and then analyzes the behavior and reactions to determine its impact. It can do things like identify cyberbullying.
The system takes a player-centric approach to understand nuances in interactions. Friends can use playful taunts and language, but when it’s a stranger, the context is totally changed. With this combination of both player and community preferences, Ally can take quick action when needed.
Ally investigates abuse incidents further through a multi-stage triage process of analysis. Ally looks at the deeper context of the whole conversation and of the history of interactions between the players. Ally highlights repeat perpetrators who display similar abusive behaviours on multiple occasions automatically compile a dossier of evidence for your safeguarding team to act upon."
