Google's New Perspective API can Help you not Sound Like a Jerk While Commenting

Google and Jigsaw launch machine learning platform Perspective to identify comments that may be labeled as "toxic,"and you can start using it now. Google and Jigsaw launched Perspective to help "improve conversations" by identifying which comments may have the potential for harassment or abuse, and it is already available to use on their website. Perspective's API uses machine learning models to score the perceived impact a comment might have on a conversation. Its first model is being used to identify whether a comment could be perceived as toxic. The results can be used by developers and publishers to give realtime feedback to commenters, help moderators do their job, or allow readers to more easily find relevant information, according to the official release.
