Computerized system and method for automatic moderation of online content

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor associated with a device, performs a method comprising:

• training, by the device, using training data, a regression classifier to determine a toxic propensity score based on input;
• identifying, by the device, an article, the article comprising a plurality of words comprised of text;
• analyzing, by the device, the article, and identifying, as input to the regression classifier, article information related to the plurality of words;
• executing, by the device, the regression classifier on the article information as the input to the regression classifier, execution of the regression classifier on the article information determining, for the article, a toxic propensity score indicating how likely the article is to attract toxic comments;
• determining, by the device, a type of moderation to perform on the article based on the determined toxic propensity score indicating that the article is likely to attract toxic comments;
• moderating, by the device, the article based on the type of determined moderation, the moderation comprising providing instructions for the article comprising the plurality of words comprised of text to be published with commenting disabled;
• and
• publishing the moderated article at a network location.

A device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• train, using training data, a regression classifier to determine a toxic propensity score based on input;
• identify an article, the article comprising a plurality of words comprised of text;
• analyze the article, and identify, as input to the regression classifier, article information related to the plurality of words;
• execute the regression classifier on the article information as the input to the regression classifier, execution of the regression classifier on the article information determining, for the article, a toxic propensity score indicating how likely the article is to attract toxic comments;
• determine a type of moderation to perform on the article based on the determined toxic propensity score indicating that the article is likely to attract toxic comments;
• moderate the article based on the type of determined moderation, the moderation comprising providing instructions for the article comprising the plurality of words comprised of text to be published with commenting disabled;
• and
• publish the moderated article at a network location.
