Magika: Advanced File Content Detection Tool
Magika is a deep learning-based tool designed for detecting and classifying various file content types with impressive accuracy. Operating directly from a web browser, it ensures high security by processing files client-side without external uploads. Users can explore its capabilities through a browser demo, and it can be installed as a Python package for command-line operation, making it versatile for developers. With support for a wide range of content types, including language-specific files and multimedia data, Magika enhances traditional detection methods with its advanced algorithms.
The tool boasts a high precision and recall rate of over 99%, making it a reliable choice for accurate content classification. Although it can only output a single content type per file, its performance is optimized for efficiency, even on a single CPU. Additionally, Magika has been reported to be in use at Google, scanning millions of files per second, highlighting its robust capabilities. A detailed paper on its training and performance is forthcoming, further solidifying its position as a leading AI tool in file content detection.
