🎯 Quick Start

Basic Usage

from toxic_validation_agent import Message_Validation

# Initialize the validator
validator = Message_Validation()

# Validate a message
result = validator.validate_message("KYS")
print(f"Result: {result.result_code} ({result.result_text})")
# Output: Result: 1 (toxic)

Production Usage

from toxic_validation_agent import Message_Validation, ValidationResult

# Initialize with production configuration
validator = Message_Validation(
    model_path="yehort/distilbert-gaming-chat-toxicity-en",
    enable_logging=True,
    enable_metrics=True,
    max_input_length=512
)

# Validate with detailed results
result = validator.validate_message("fucking reported axe")

print(f"Toxic: {result.is_toxic}")
print(f"Toxicity: {result.toxicity:.3f}")
print(f"Processing time: {result.processing_time_ms:.2f}ms")

🎯 Zero-Tier Word Filter

The zero-tier filter provides ultra-fast detection of obvious toxic content with comprehensive obfuscation support.

Supported Obfuscation Patterns

Word Categories

The filter includes 53 categories of toxic words:

• Explicit profanity: fuck, shit, damn, hell
• Slurs and insults: bitch, cunt, faggot, nigger
• Death wishes: KYS, kill yourself, go die
• Aggressive commands: uninstall, delete, uninstall
• Skill insults: noob, trash, garbage, worthless

Performance

• Speed: <1ms processing time
• Accuracy: 100% detection of explicit toxic words
• Memory: Minimal memory footprint
• Reliability: Fail-safe operation

🔍 Error Handling

The bot includes comprehensive error handling with graceful degradation:

Custom Exceptions

from message_validator import (
    ToxicValidationError,
    ModelLoadError,
    InputValidationError
)

try:
    result = validator.validate_message("test")
except InputValidationError as e:
    print(f"Input error: {e}")
except ModelLoadError as e:
    print(f"Model error: {e}")
except ToxicValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation error: {e}")

Graceful Degradation

Error Result Structure

# When an error occurs, a safe result is returned
result = ValidationResult(
    is_toxic=False,
    confidence=0.0,
    result_code=0,
    result_text='error',
    processing_time_ms=12.34,
    pipeline_stage='error',
    error_message='Detailed error description'
)

📊 Monitoring & Logging

Logging Configuration

Logs are automatically written to:

• Console output (with Unicode-safe handling)
• toxic_validation.log file (UTF-8 encoded)

import logging

# Log levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
# Default: INFO level

Performance Monitoring

# Get real-time metrics
metrics = validator.get_performance_metrics()
print(f"Average processing time: {metrics.average_processing_time_ms:.2f}ms")
print(f"Word filter efficiency: {metrics.word_filter_hits}/{metrics.total_requests}")
print(f"Success rate: {metrics.successful_requests}/{metrics.total_requests}")

Health Monitoring

# Check system health
health = validator.health_check()
if health['status'] == 'healthy':
    print("System is operational")
else:
    print(f"System issues: {health['error']}")

🔧 Advanced Usage

Batch Processing

messages = ["message1", "message2", "message3"]
results = []

for message in messages:
    result = validator.validate_message(message)
    results.append(result)

# Analyze batch results
toxic_count = sum(1 for r in results if r.is_toxic)
avg_confidence = sum(r.confidence for r in results) / len(results)
avg_processing_time = sum(r.processing_time_ms for r in results) / len(results)

print(f"Toxic messages: {toxic_count}/{len(results)}")
print(f"Average confidence: {avg_confidence:.3f}")
print(f"Average processing time: {avg_processing_time:.2f}ms")

Custom Word Filter

# Add custom toxic words
validator.toxic_words["custom_word"] = ["custom", "cust0m", "c*stom"]

# Remove existing words
del validator.toxic_words["some_word"]

Pipeline Configuration

# Disable specific pipeline stages
validator.config['pipeline_enabled']['rag'] = False
validator.config['pipeline_enabled']['embedding_classifier'] = False

# Adjust confidence thresholds
validator.config['confidence_thresholds']['embedding_high'] = 0.85

Custom Configuration File

Create a custom my_config.json:

{
  "confidence_thresholds": {
    "embedding_high": 0.85,
    "finetuned_low": 0.25,
    "finetuned_high": 0.75,
    "ensemble": 0.65
  },
  "max_input_length": 256,
  "rag_top_k": 5,
  "ensemble_weights": {
    "base": 0.7,
    "rag": 0.3
  }
}

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Model Loading Errors

Problem: ModelLoadError: Failed to load models

Solutions:

# Check model folder exists
ls -la model/

# Verify model files
python -c "from transformers import AutoTokenizer; AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('model')"

# Reinstall dependencies
pip install --upgrade transformers torch

2. Memory Issues

Problem: Out of memory errors

Solutions:

# Use CPU instead of GPU
validator = Message_Validation()
# Force CPU usage
import torch
torch.cuda.empty_cache()

# Reduce batch size
validator.config['model_settings']['batch_size'] = 1

3. Performance Issues

Problem: Slow processing times

Solutions:

# Enable GPU acceleration
validator = Message_Validation()

# Adjust confidence thresholds
validator.config['confidence_thresholds']['embedding_high'] = 0.8

# Disable RAG for speed
validator.config['pipeline_enabled']['rag'] = False

4. Unicode Encoding Issues

Problem: Unicode errors in Windows console

Solutions:

# The system automatically handles this, but you can also:
import sys
import codecs
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf-8')(sys.stdout.detach())

Performance Optimization

1. GPU Acceleration

# Check GPU availability
import torch
print(f"CUDA available: {torch.cuda.is_available()}")
print(f"GPU count: {torch.cuda.device_count()}")
print(f"Current device: {torch.cuda.current_device()}")

2. Batch Processing

# Process multiple messages efficiently
messages = ["msg1", "msg2", "msg3", "msg4", "msg5"]
results = [validator.validate_message(msg) for msg in messages]

3. Caching

# Cache frequently checked messages
from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=1000)
def cached_validation(message):
    return validator.validate_message(message)
