Function details: Jigsaw has been developing machine learning models for detecting "Toxic" comments, where toxic is defined to be comments that are rude, offensive, and likely to make someone want to leave the conversation. These models have been trained on supervised data created using crowd workers. This work has been published documented in recent conferences.

We intend to create a website that displays graphically the current talk page comments that we detect having these attributes, and will allow visitors to review the comments, see them in context, and perform reverts, if desired, on a case by case basis.
