NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Clarifai, the leading visual recognition AI company that uses sophisticated machine learning to understand images and videos, today announced the public beta launch of the industry’s first end-to-end Moderation Solution. Building on existing Clarifai models, the new product will allow customers to partner with Clarifai to quickly and efficiently manage their moderation tasks from beginning to end.

Clarifai’s existing machine learning models analyze user-generated content to return a list of concepts (i.e. Explicit, Suggestive, Gore, Drugs, NSFW, SFW, or any custom concepts) with their corresponding probability scores on the likelihood that these concepts are contained within the image. Clarifai’s new Moderation Solution provides customers with the UI and end-to-end tools required for moderation, including machine learning models, web interfaces, image routing APIs, and professional services to moderate their user-generated content.

Customers using the new Moderation Solution will first send their images to Clarifai to help visualize how machine learning analyzes their data. They can then set probability thresholds to determine which images automatically pass or fail. For images that fall in between the set confidence thresholds, customers can have their own human moderators (or Clarifai-provided human moderators) review content in a new Moderator UI to determine whether a flagged image should pass or fail — coupling machine learning technology with human validation to optimize for cost and accuracy. Images that were reviewed and tagged by human moderators are then used to retrain customer’s models to continually improve the machine learning model’s accuracy.

“At Clarifai, we are committed to continually improving AI to benefit humanity, and the tools we have built for our new end-to-end solution for moderation answers a pressing market need from our customers,” said Matt Zeiler, Clarifai founder and CEO. “Content moderation is critical to protecting everyday consumers from unsavory and unwanted content while browsing their favorite social platforms. The new Moderation Solution augments machine learning models with expert human moderators to reduce the error rate to almost 0%, while also keeping costs low. Customers can focus their money and resources where it counts: on scaling their businesses.”

In addition to the new Moderation Solution launch, Clarifai also recently announced an enhanced General Model, and upgraded several existing models from beta to general availability, including Moderation, Celebrity, Face Detection, Textures & Patterns, General Embedding, and Face Embedding. Many of these models now offer up to 99% accuracy on image and video recognition.
