Project idea

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

Harassment

What is your solution?

Use machine learning methods to automate classification and blocking of content containing harassment.

Project goals

While reporting harassment to the police is not an effective solution in all countries, there are ways to block the content in question completely by analyzing and classifying it before publishing it on Wikipedia.

There are Software as a Service solutions, that may be useful to achieve this goal [1].
