Re: Show HN: I made a neural net that analyzes privacy policies
#2Hi guys!
So as basis for my thesis on AI and NLP I've been working on a RRN-based text classifier that basically reads and analyzes privacy policies. It understands that "we don't share your data with third parties" is privacy friendly while "we may share your data with anyone" is a potential threat.
I've then created this website with a bunch of analyzed services to showcase the most relevant info about each service along with other interesting stuff like recent data breaches or instructions to delete your account in said service.
Happy to answer Qs about the tech behind, it'd also be great to hear your feedback on what the site lacks and possible improvements!

Very nice! The fact you mentioned Tinder's T+C on Twitter got my attention.

#4This is great, I've been wanting to do a project like this for a while.
Would be great to get some insight into your data collection/labeling and model design process.

#5Very creative project! Congratulations!!

#6This is really cool, what prompted the idea to combine the two?

Some of the process on gathering the data to create the labelling dataset is described here: https://useguard.com/experiment
But most probably I'll be publishing a paper later this year detailing all the details and process :)

Thanks! Last semester I did a bootcamp on Artificial Intelligence and I had to do a final project. Last year I started becoming concerned about digital privacy when I discovered Facebook had an updated copy of your phone contacts including nicknames [1] (which basically means strangers at Facebook know the names I call my GF). I later found out this was explicitly said in FB's privacy policy. So when I did the bootcamp and discovered how powerful RNNs are to model the complexity of the English language I came up with the idea.

#10I get ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Some other user reported that same thing this morning but I couldn't find any explanation to this err. It basically works for everyone except for these two precise cases. One idea I have is that you might be behind some sort of firewall that's blocking my website (because in the past either the IP or the domain got flagged by some antivirus company and now some business networks block it) – might this be the case?
