Live chat moderation

Return an allow, block or review decision.

  1. Chat message
  2. Small decision head
  3. Allow, block or review
Illustration of the proposed workflow.

A chat application needs a decision for each incoming message, usually without a written explanation. A review route can handle messages that the model cannot classify reliably.

Where the small model fits

A trained head reads a text model's internal representation. A separate optimization could try a smaller model first or check an earlier layer, continuing when the stopping rule does not accept the result.

What would need to work

The lab has ToxicChat experiments and browser demos. They do not establish reliable context-aware live moderation, including abuse split across users or messages. Count missed harmful messages and false blocks separately.
