“The POESIA project is funded by the European Commission and takes place in the mark of the Information Society and Technology Safer Internet Action Plan. The Safer Internet Action Plan (IAP) promotes safety on the Internet by tackling the controversial issue of illegal, harmful and racist content. POESIA seeks to develop, test, evaluate and promote a fully open-source, and extensible, state of the art, filtering and catching software solution.
POESIA will filter harmful content in several channels (Web, Email, News) combining innovative technologies to achieve more effective filtering than existing products. Filtering will cover a range of modes, including image filtering, natural language text filtering, URL, PICs and JavaScript filtering. The filter will initially be deployed in English, Italian and Spanish. To cover other European languages additional work is required and should be effectively possible because of the open-source model and the portability of the technical solutions.”
They have a sourceforge page, and home page at poesia-filter.org.
