Multimodal pretraining for objectionable content detection in videos

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

Thamar Solorio from the University of Houston presented preliminary work on multimodal representation learning for detecting objectionable content in videos at MBZUAI. The research investigates two multimodal pretraining mechanisms, finding contrastive learning more effective than unimodal representation prediction. The study also assesses the value of common multimodal corpora for this task. Why it matters: This research contributes to the development of AI techniques for content moderation, an important issue for online platforms in the Middle East and globally.

FanarGuard: A Culturally-Aware Moderation Filter for Arabic Language Models

arXiv · Nov 24

The paper introduces FanarGuard, a bilingual moderation filter for Arabic and English language models that considers both safety and cultural alignment. A dataset of 468K prompt-response pairs was created and scored by LLM judges on harmlessness and cultural awareness to train the filter. The first benchmark targeting Arabic cultural contexts was developed to evaluate cultural alignment. Why it matters: FanarGuard advances context-sensitive AI safeguards by integrating cultural awareness into content moderation, addressing a critical gap in current alignment techniques.
