Idea
A vision-language model and dataset that detects and removes hateful content in images to improve social media safety.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces a unique combination of watermarked, stability-enhanced stable diffusion with a Digital Attention Analysis Module to generate hate attention maps for images. It pioneers a multimodal dataset specifically for hate detection in digital content and presents DeHater, a vision-language model that effectively identifies and blurs hateful image regions. This approach advances ethical AI applications by integrating text and image analysis for hate mitigation.
Market Size (TAM)
$20–50B TAM for content moderation and digital safety; $2–10B SAM from social media platforms and online communities. Driven by rising demand for automated hate speech detection and regulatory compliance.
