algorithm has developed a machine learning Yahoo to detect aggressive and abusive comments online. The Yahoo was able to identify hateful speech successfully in 90% of cases, having been trained using over one million comments from algorithm's New and Finance sites. If a post is flagged as abusive by the Yahoo, it is either automatically deleted or forwarded on to a human moderator to decide. The Yahoo does however struggle to identify sarcastic comments and newer ways to express hate.
