Sharing knowledge and productively growing the field
Perspective is an API that uses machine learning to spot abuse and harassment online.
Perspective scores comments based on the perceived impact a comment might have on a conversation, which publishers can use to give real-time feedback to commenters, help moderators sort comments more effectively, or allow readers to more easily find relevant information. We'll be releasing more machine learning models later in the year, but our first model identifies whether a comment could be perceived as toxic to a discussion.
