Open Source content filters
POESIA
will filter harmful content in several channels (Web, Email, News)
combining innovative technologies to achieve more effective filtering
than existing products. Filtering will cover a range of modes,
including image filtering, natural language text filtering, URL, PICs
and JavaScript filtering. The filter will initially be deployed in
English, Italian and Spanish. To cover other European languages
additional work is required and should be effectively possible because
of the open-source model and the portability of the technical solutions.
