033 - How tech can prevent sexual harassment at work, with Eleanor Manley (CTO @ Metta Space)


Listen Later

Studies show that over 50% of people have experienced sexual harassment at work, and even a bigger amount of people have witnessed it.

We can't operate in business without acknowledging this and doing our small contribution to addressing this situation, irrespective of our team size.

That's why we decided to bring on Eleanor Manley, CTO and co-founder of Metta Space, a deeptech company with the goal to completely eradicate sexual harassment at work. They do so using NLP (Natural Language Processing) and big data.

We discussed how sexual harassment happens at work and the cultural differences between countries and cultural backgrounds, and also how being non-native in a given language brings people to pick the wrong words and how this can be solved with technology.

From the technology standpoint, we cover their techstack, how they are training and cleaning their dataset (trained with Reddit data 😱), NLP, Python, text and chat processing and moderation and censorship in technology.

Watch Àlex in full serious mode, tip-toeing on very muddy waters and being very concious about his word choice to avoid getting into trouble!
