G.A.R.S, real time protection from child grooming

The GARS (Grooming Attack Recognition System) is an innovative application which aims on  creating a safe internet for children by protecting them from online hazards. Specifically, GARS is focused on protecting from child grooming. This term refers to actions deliberately undertaken with the aim of child abuse through internet communications. GARS uses sophisticated techniques of document classification, personality recognition as well as fuzzy logic controllers in order to calculate grooming risk in real time. Whenever the calculated risk overlaps a designated threshold a warning signal is sent directly to the parent who is responsible for further actions. This threshold is calibrated according to the age and the gender of the child. At its current version, GARS supports grooming protection only in english language.
