Model Name: AI-URL-Expander
Model Details
Model Description
AI-URL-Expander is a machine learning model designed to analyze and expand shortened URLs, revealing the original destination and evaluating potential risks such as phishing, scams, and malicious content. This model empowers developers and security analysts to protect users by identifying unsafe links before they are clicked. The model integrates seamlessly into security tools, browser extensions, and link management platforms, enhancing URL transparency and safety.
Features:
URL Parsing and Expansion: Resolve short links to their original destinations.
Metadata Analysis: Extract information such as page titles, descriptions, and keywords for contextual insights.
Threat Detection: Evaluate links for potential phishing, malware, and scam indicators.
AI-Powered Risk Scoring: Generate a risk score for each expanded URL based on a combination of metadata and contextual analysis.

Uses
Direct Use
Use Cases:
- URL Expansion: Uncover the original URL from a shortened link.
- Risk Analysis: Detect malicious or risky destinations, including phishing, malware, and scams.
- Security Integration: Incorporate into browser extensions, enterprise security solutions, or link management platforms.
How to Use:
- Input the shortened URL into the model.
- Receive the expanded URL and metadata.
- Analyze the risk score and classification to determine the link’s safety.
from transformers import pipeline
# Load model
model = pipeline("text-classification", model="huggingface/ai-url-expander")
# Input shortened URL
short_url = "https://bit.ly/3example"
# Analyze and expand
results = model(f"Expand and analyze: {short_url}")

Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Limitations:
- Dynamic Content: Links with dynamically generated content may not always produce consistent results.
- False Positives/Negatives: Risk scoring may occasionally misclassify benign or malicious links.
- Real-Time Dependency: Requires internet access for URL expansion and metadata retrieval.
Recommendations
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.
