Abstract:
1. A computer-executable method for moderating publication of textual content in an online environment, the method comprising: receiving, at a computer system, text to be published in an online environment: calculating at the computer system, a first numeric likelihood that the text falls into a first selected category unsuitable for publication; determining, at the computer system, first and second threshold values associated with the first selected category based on numeric likelihoods assigned to content within a reference corpus, the second threshold value exceeding the first threshold value, and at least a portion of the reference corpus content corresponding to the first selected category; comparing the first numeric likelihood to a first set of threshold values associated with the first selected category and stored in a database of the computer system; and determining whether to electronically publish the text in the online environment or exclude the text from publication based on the comparison of the first numeric likelihood to the first and second threshold values.
