    "patent_abstract": "Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to the identification and moderation of various types of disruptive behaviors. Multiple evaluation systems, each employing distinct methodologies and algorithms, are employed to identify various types of disruptive behaviors. This diversified approach recognizes the strengths and limitations of individual evaluation systems, allowing for a more nuanced and comprehensive detection of disruptive speech. Embodiments rely on the aggregation and analysis of evaluation results from diverse sources, leveraging the strengths of each system, and facilitating a superior means for identifying different disruptive behaviors for purposes of moderation.",
