Trollslayer

Trollslayer is a web app that uses machine learning to identify and collect offensive Facebook comments left on BuzzFeed posts. It allows a moderator to easily preview, in app, the entire comment thread that contains the comment in question. It also displays a ranking of BuzzFeed posts to watch out for, determined by their frequency of flagged comments.

As part of the project, I trained a Naive Bayes classifier to be able to identify offensive comments on BuzzFeed posts. The classifier even picked up on some sarcasm in a post and tagged it as being offensive when it was run with test data. Pretty neat!
