Positive Play - Toxicity Detection in Voice Chat

Description:

Bullying, gender discrimination, and other forms of verbal toxicity that frequently occur during multi-player game play cost the gaming industry billions of dollar each year in dropped subscriptions and lost customers... and it's directly counter to the inclusivity and accessibility inherent in gaming that we want to be promoting. It isn't just about the language, it's even more about tone and context. Eliminating toxicity to create safe, inclusive spaces for game play is a highly complex challenge, especially for multiplayer games that incorporate realtime voice chat - but it CAN be solved through the intelligent application of machine learning. Solutions must be flexible, allowing for different tolerances and languages, and enabling a range of remediation and escalation options.
