PicPurify Image Moderation engine is available on Eden AI

We are pleased to announce that PicPurify has been integrated into Eden AI API. PicPurify's online content moderation API automatically filters out inappropriate user generated media and helps preserving your brand reputation. We had the chance to talk to PicPurify marketing manager, Valentine Lavie, who agreed to answer some of our questions:

‍

Can you introduce PicPurify?

PicPurify is a real-time image moderation API which accurately detects and filters inappropriate images containing specific elements like porn, nudity, violence, drugs, weapons, hate symbols, obscene gestures,etc. Created in 2016, Picpurify was one of the first players in automatic image moderation: our goal was to provide people with the ability to identify unwanted user generated images and automatically remove them from their product or service.

The core algorithm behind PicPurify is based on the most advanced deep learning technology. This algorithm is inspired by the human visual system, and is continuously learning how to identify specific contents in an image by scanning millions of them. Unlike traditional image recognition approaches, PicPurify's state-of-the-art neural network framework learns to extract the most discriminative features from all analyzed images. This technology makes PicPurify's algorithm reach an unprecedented accuracy and speed.

Picpurify is a REST API which can be accessed through any languages supporting HTTP protocol (cURL, Python, Node.js, PHP, etc.).

Why did you decide to be integrated in Eden AI?

Eden AI makes AI technologies accessible to everyone, by standardizing processes and providing its users with a unique API, connected to the best AI engines, of which PicPurify is one. It's a virtuous circle where everyone wins.
