Skimmed through. Article says "Yahoo is the only one that is completely free to use but is self hosted hence not included in this"

Is the set that yahoo released long ago the only self hosted option available?

I have several projects that might end up using some of the yahoo release in order to stay self hosted. I can't imagine telling all users that we share all their pics with these third parties to check up on them.

If the nsfw images were from google search (or are images that could easily be indexed by google), it's not surprising that google is performing well on them. Presumably any low confidence images would've been manually tagged and re-added to their training set already.

The Gore10 image isn't gore, unless there's something I don't know about going on.

It appears to be a toy cartoon pet rat situated on top of some glossy rubbery plastic red toy prop slime guts. Whatever it is, or is supposed to be, it isn't an explicit or graphic depiction of real violence.

Does that matter? I think so. Maybe it's not something to show a small child, and at a glance, one might develop the wrong impression, but it's obviously phoney nonsense, and as harmless as a red halloween Jell-o dish with rubber eyeballs suspended in the mold.

Hey zawerf, your right. 2 notes.

1) it's very difficult to find nsfw images especially a particular kind like gore or suggestive nudity unless you Google things (which indicates a bigger problem). Maybe the solution is to use Bing (maybe this would cause the same issue in compariosn) or DuckDuckGo. But honestly I think if DuckDuckGo indexed a page, I'm pretty sure Google did as well. You would probably need something off of non indexed website which makes the job significantly harder.

2) even though google has all the images it's still not the best performing NSFW Detector Nanonets is.
