A Python library from Yahoo that runs a Caffe deep neural network to classify images as Not Suitable for Work (NSFW), outputting a probability score between 0 and 1. It focuses specifically on detecting pornographic images for content filtering purposes.

Use cases

• filter adult images from user-generated content uploads
• score images for NSFW probability before publishing
• pre-screen images for content moderation pipelines
• classify whether a photo is safe for work
• build an image filtering service for a website
• fine-tune an NSFW classifier for a custom dataset

When to choose

• you need to filter pornographic images at scale using a pre-trained model
• your stack already uses Caffe or CaffeOnSpark
• you want a simple score-based image safety classifier you can fine-tune

When to avoid

• you need detection of cartoons, sketches, text, or graphic violence - the model only covers pornographic imagery
• you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2018 and Caffe itself is largely deprecated
• you prefer modern PyTorch or TensorFlow-based moderation models
• you require guaranteed accuracy without human moderation for edge cases
