Hello HN,<p>I am Vadim of Tisane Labs (<a href="http://tisane.ai" rel="nofollow">http://tisane.ai</a>). We build text analytics APIs.<p>My natural language processing journey started over a decade ago, when I built an NLP engine with an emphasis on scalability across languages. The engine served as a foundation of a startup I cofounded in 2010 (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinguaSys" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinguaSys</a>), which had Mark Cuban as an investor and was acquired in 2015.<p>Utilizing our expertise, we're trying to tackle one of the most painful issues with the Internet today: abusive content. Hate speech, sexual harassment, cyberbullying are difficult to detect. Today's solutions mostly look for obscenities; correlation with training datasets only works with limited demos as the patterns of abuse are too many. Hate speech is more than just ethnic slurs.<p>The API is a generic analytical engine, so it may be used for other purposes as well, but abusive content is our main focus.<p>We'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, wishes, and complaints.
