Moderation tools

There are three ways to moderate content, enabled by the content moderator:

  • Human moderation: Using teams and community to manually moderate all content
  • Automated moderation: Utilizing machine learning and AI to moderate at scale with no human interaction
  • Hybrid moderation: A combination of the preceding two, where people typically occasionally do reviews

The common scenario used is the last one. This is where machine learning is used to automate the moderation process and teams of people can review the moderation. Microsoft have created a review tool to ease this process. This allows you to see through all the items for review in a web browser while using the APIs in your application. We will look into this tool in the following section.

Using the

l, head over to https://contentmoderator.cognitive.microsoft.com/. From here, you can sign in using your Microsoft account. On your first sign-in, you will need to register by adding your name to the account. You will then go on to create a review team, as shown in the following screenshot:

You will be presented with the total number of images and textual content that are for review. You will also be presented with the total number of completed and pending reviews. The dashboard also lists the users that have completed reviews, as well as any tags used for content.

By selecting the Try option in the menu, you have the option to upload images or text to execute moderation online. Do this by either uploading an image or entering sample text in the textbox. Once done, you can select the Review option, where you will be presented with the following screen:

Using the

If the given content is either adult content or racist, you can click on the a or r buttons, respectively. For text, any profanities will be displayed. Once you are done marking reviews, click on Next. This will go through a process of moderating the given content.

Other tools

Apart from the APIs and the review tool, there are two other tools you can use, as follows:

  • List manager API: Using custom lists of images and text to moderate pre-identified content that you don't wish to scan for repeatedly
  • Workflow API: Using this API, you can define conditional logic and actions to specify the policies used by your specific content

To use any of these APIs, or to use the moderator APIs, you can make calls to specific REST APIs. To do so, you will need to use an API key and a base URL. These settings can be found under Settings | Credentials on the review tool website, as shown in the following screenshot:
