Abstract

In this work we present InFeRno, an intelligent web pornography elimination system, classifying web pages based solely on their visual content. The main characteristics of our system include: (i) a powerful vector space with a small but sufficient number of features that manage to improve the discriminative ability of the SVM classifier; (ii) an extra class (bikini) that strengthens the performance of the classifier; (iii) an overall classification scheme that achieves high accuracy at considerably lower runtime costs compared to current state-of-the-art systems; and (iv) a full-fledged implementation of the proposed system capable of being integrated with ICAP-aware web proxy cache servers.
