Goals
In the AMiCA project, we identify possibly threatening situations on social networks by means of text and image analysis. Our goal includes ensuring the online safety of children. There are three critical situations at the centre of our research: 1) cyberbullying, 2) sexually transgressive behavior, and 3) depression and suicidal behavior.
