"AI Helps Experts Find Thousands of Child Sexual Abuse Imagery Keywords"

A team of 13 analysts at the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has started to use machine learning technologies a few weeks ago.  Machine learning technologies will help them figure out what secret code words are being used by online communities of individuals covertly talking about child sexual abuse images.  The IWF has been working on a database of pedophile slang for more than 10 years.  Before the analysts started using machine learning technologies, their database of pedophile slang, only contained 450 words or phrases that refer to abuse images.  Since they started using machine learning technologies, they have expanded their database to contain 3,681 entries, with several hundred more that are going to be added soon.  The IWF has a massive database of URLs that it has taken down because they contained abusive imagery. The IWF hopes that by incorporating machine learning technologies, it will help increase the number of URLs they can identify and take down that contain abusive imagery.
