I-Corps: Exploring the Commercialization Potential of ChatCoder

当前的父母控制软件没有为父母和孩子提供他们迫切想要和需要的工具？一种阻止网络攻击进行中的方法，而不是在事件发生后报告事件。尽管大多数网络欺凌和网络掠夺行为都是在很长一段时间内发生的，但当前的程序只能根据文本中的关键字来检测行为；它们没有提供实际阻止滥用的工具，也没有捕获上下文。家长和当局对网络欺凌和网络掠夺的担忧导致家长控制软件市场蓬勃发展，许多州通过了反网络欺凌的法律。拟议的创新提供了对网络虐待的更好识别以及响应能力，从而为青少年及其父母提供了更具活力、互动性和赋权的资源。该团队开发了能够检测约80%的网络欺凌交流和84%的掠夺性对话的机器学习算法。这些算法是使用为研究目的收集和标记的数据开发的。算法需要适应实时通信，并在获得更多数据时不断更新。受害者反应的理论模型正在开发中。该模型确定了欺凌或掠夺的类型、背景和严重程度，以及受害者可以选择的潜在反应类别。该团队已经完成了概念验证，并准备继续开发软件原型。

Current parental control software does not provide parents and kids with the one tool they desperately want and need ? a method for halting cyber-aggression in progress, rather than reporting the event after it occurs. Although most cyberbullying and cyber-predation acts occur over an extended period of time, current programs can only detect acts based on keywords in text; they don?t offer tools to actually stop the abuse and they don?t capture context. Concern about cyberbullying and cyber-predation among parents and authorities has led to a booming parental control software market and to the passage of anti-cyberbullying laws in many states. The proposed innovation offers better recognition of cyber-abuse and as well as response capabilities; thereby providing a more dynamic, interactive, and empowering resource for youths and their parents.The team has developed machine learning algorithms that are able to detect approximately 80% of cyberbullying communication, and 84% of predatory conversation. These algorithms were developed using data that was collected and labeled for research purposes. The algorithms need to be adapted for real-time communication, as well as continuously updated as additional data become available. The theoretical model for victim response is in development. The model identifies the type, context and severity of bullying or predation, along with categories of potential responses from which victims can choose. The team has completed the proof-of-concept and is ready to move forward with the development of a software prototype.
