Beyond Detection: Scaling Age Assurance with Context-Aware Filtering Models

Sep 17, 2025

From:

1:30 PM

To:

2:00 PM

- Katerina Kolomeytseva, ML Engineer, Bumble Inc.

Accurately moderating age-related content is essential for platform safety—but AI models often misclassify casual age mentions, overwhelming moderation queues. This session presents a two-layered AI system deployed at a large social platform with millions monthly active users. The first multilingual classifier flags potential underage content; a second, context-aware filter analyzes behavior patterns to refine decisions. This approach reduced false positives, accelerated sanctions, and improved moderation efficiency. Attendees will learn how to build scalable workflows, leverage behavioral signals for precise filtering, and elevate compliance—all while boosting user trust and operational effectiveness.

Incognia Room

Beyond the Ban: Unmasking Repeat Offenders in Marketplaces

Sep 17, 2025

From:

2:15 PM

To:

2:45 PM

- Kathleen Corrigan, Fraud Prevention Account Executive, Incognia
- Cody Summers, Trust & Safety Leader, Thumbtack
- Bharath Teja Rapolu, Manager, Fraud & Risk Strategy, Grubhub

Fraud never stops; it constantly reinvents itself. From device resets and GPS spoofing to behavioral mimicry and synthetic identities, bad actors are evolving faster than ever. Modern fraud prevention goes beyond technology, encompassing product design, policy, and user experience. This panel brings together fraud strategy and enforcement leaders to explore how platforms are advancing their defenses by focusing not just on who is returning, but how. Through real-world investigations and detection frameworks, the discussion reveals how modern signals like location behavior and device intelligence help identify repeat fraud that traditional rules miss. Key takeaways include detecting reoffenders after resets and spoofing, insights from investigations into seller abuse and identity evasion, operationalizing new signals to outpace attackers, and the importance of adaptable, privacy-conscious detection strategies to preserve user trust.
