Claim 1 [preamble]
A computer-implemented method for content moderation comprising:Claim 1.1
receiving, by one or more processors, a content item submitted to an online platform;Claim 1.2
extracting, by the one or more processors, a plurality of features from the content item using a trained machine learning model;Claim 1.3
generating, by the one or more processors, a classification score based on the extracted features;Claim 1.4
comparing the classification score to a predetermined threshold value;Claim 1.5
in response to the classification score exceeding the threshold, automatically flagging the content item for review.Claim 2
The method of claim 1, wherein the trained machine learning model comprises a convolutional neural network.Claim 3
The method of claim 1, wherein extracting the plurality of features comprises identifying semantic embeddings.Claim 4
The method of claim 1, further comprising storing flagged content items in a review queue database.Claim 5
The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined threshold is dynamically adjusted based on historical accuracy metrics.Evidence: Source Code Analysis
