Abstract
Techniques for restricting access to certain members of an online service are provided. Member accounts include one or more images. Attributes of member accounts that share the same image are analyzed to determine whether to label the image “bad.” In one technique, a model is created and trained to learn the attributes or features (and their corresponding weights) that are associated with “bad” user accounts that share the same image. As a result, member accounts that are associated with a “bad” image may be restricted in one or more ways.
