New synthetic corpus LURE aids online grooming detection

Researchers have developed LURE, a synthetic corpus of online grooming exchanges designed to aid in the study and detection of child exploitation. Generated using a retrieval-augmented pipeline and an eight-billion-parameter language model, LURE contains 2,121 exchanges across seven tags and four phases, each annotated with Plutchik emotions. The corpus aims to overcome limitations of existing datasets by providing phase-annotated conversational data for developing early warning tools, with validation showing high accuracy in tag and phase identification.
