is this just the network or is it a fully trained model? The TechCrunch article suggests the former but the yahoo post the latter...

It's the trained model. You can use it out of the box or refine it to tailor to your environment.

Impossible. There is no accurate way to determine age by external appearance. For example a 15 year could look older than an 18 year old.

That doesn't stop law makers from trying. Like the mess over small-breasted porn being banned in Australia in 2010: > While the ACB claims that there is no blanket ban on small breasts as such, women over the age of 18 with small breasts who might look young ARE banned. http://www.inquisitr.com/59633/australian-government-censor-...

Yeah but Australia doesn't really have protected speech per se. Different legal system.

You can use the nsfw subreddits as a massive dataset for categorizing porn.

Not all of them. gonwild[1] is a just a massive polygon pun subreddit [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/gonwild

I was a little nervous at first because it asked me to conform my age and everything but it looks like you are right. Just a bunch of math geeks, haha.

It would be interesting to see the "deep dream" treatment of ordinary images using this neural net.

I've been looking for balance in the universe after VidAngel requires filtering of obscenity. I want to run videos through a neural network to add obscenity and nudity.

That'll be the killer app of Augmented Reality, "see-through" glasses.

"Ok glass, undress her.".

As long as what you need is a nightmarish version of the requested scene. What happens here with generating illegal content? If you put a public text->image gan up, and someone uses it to generate child porn, are you responsible? How could you make sure it couldn't?

I would imagine if you're generating then no real people were part of its creation therefore it would be legal. If I remember correctly cartoons of children having sex is not illegal (in the United States as far as I know). Though that then raises the question: when happens when it can be generated so realistically that it looks indistinguishable from the real thing? Would it still be treated like cartoons? How could…

Maybe today it's legal (or not?) but that's only because generating realistic porn is not possible yet. Does anyone really think that in today's American society so afraid of sex that this would remain legal? Consider the following situation:

Imagine we're 200 years into the future and nothing much has changed with respect to attitudes about sex, freedom of speech, technology, etc. All images available 200 years ago are still there on the internet to download, including illegal child porn. If you are downloading 200+ year old child porn, where everyone depicted is long dead, how could anyone be harmed by you viewing those images? Yet I cannot imagine anyone successfully using that defense if caught with those images.

It's not about who is being harmed by these images (if anyone), it's more about society hating pedophilia and going after it wherever possible, free speech be damned.

I should update my sexy map finder: http://exclav.es/2016/05/20/sexy-maps/

Tangent: is your blog pure HTML/CSS? I really like the look of it and have been wanting to start something just like yours.

Not OP, but looks like it's built on Jekyll. If you're not familiar, it's a Static Site Generator. It generates static html files from your content (generally markdown files).

There are other SSGs, I use Hugo myself (http://gohugo.io, sample of my blog: http://arianv.com/). I like Hugo cause it's probably the fastest SSG (every time you create a post/change content, you're remaking your entire site from scratch. If you have lots of posts - this adds up!) but Jekyll is the most popular and has great tooling.

Hope that helps!

I'm not a deep learning person whatsoever, but I do have an interesting use case that I won't disclose publicly: Is there a way to build this, and output detections based on the, ugh, object it has detected? e.g. penis 0.94 vagina 0.01

There was a asian paper about this years ago for detecting "them" for blurring purposes, it worked quite well.

I think the argument is that pedophiles view existing media and it encourages them to do things to real people.

The same reason why excessively violent movies are not considered acceptable for children- it's not out of concern for the people in the movies, it's the effect it will have on the person viewing it.

Wouldn't that make it illegal under 8B?

Sufficiently realistic digital child porn would be prohibited under 8B. The original context of this conversation was neural net generated images, so I had not considered the case of photorealistic images. Those would be a violation of 8B (if they are of sufficient quality). Having said that the segment I quoted is only the definition of child porn. The law prohibiting child porn [0, section c2] provides that: "It sh…

Based on what you quoted up-thread a fictional depiction of an identifiable minor would be considered child-pornography too.

Moreover in the above quote it seems it could be considered "using" to use the visual identity of a minor.

I'd imagine that meant it you used any reference image of faces for your neural net there's a chance of violating the "letter" of this provision.

This of course if not legal advice.
