Monitoring social media platforms to detect harmful content   Supporting the provision of alerts to authorities to improve public safety.     avalanche achieved this using  · SAS Viya® · Artificial intelligence     SAS Hackathon 2024 · EMEA Region · Public Sector Track    Challenge   Social media has potential to be a breeding ground for hate and disruption, which may spill over into real-world violence.   Detecting calls for social violence at an early stage could prevent this overspill.  However, it is hard for individuals or authorities to monitor social media to detect these calls, or identify which ones might be problematic.   It is also hard to counter misinformation and fake news at an early stage.     Innovation  This solution uses SAS® Viya® to develop a model to provide early warning of calls for violence issued on social media.   avalanche:  Used tweets, economic data, and information from security cameras.  Added social network analysis to provide even more context.  Developed a model to indicate a level of emergency to drive action by authorities.     Impact  The avalanche solution will enable authorities to assess the level of risk in a particular situation.   It draws on both social media and information on the ground to assess situations in the moment.  It can be used as an early-warning system to indicate potential flashpoints, and pinpoint issues geographically.   It could be used anywhere in the world as a way to improve public safety.         “We want to ensure public safety [and] contribute to peace of society.”  Ahmet Tanrikulu · Team Leader · Team avalanche        Team Name avalanche Track Public Sector Use Case Our project is designed to monitor social media platforms and detect harmful content, providing timely alerts to relevant authorities to prevent panic and protect public safety.

Hello. We are the Avalanche team. This will be our first competition. We have completed the team formation and profile creation stages, and I, as the team leader, have submitted our idea. Could you please check if our application will be accepted? Is there any reason why it might not be accepted? We would appreciate it if you could review it and provide your feedback. Thank you. team link: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Hacker-s-Hub/avalanche-Utilizing-Technology-to-Protect-Against-Harmful-Social/ta-p/941418 ... View more
