ABSTRACT:
A system and method for controlling information output based on user feedback about the information is provided that comprises a plurality of information sources providing information. The information sources may be electronic mail providers, chat participants, or page links. At least one neural network module selects one or more of a plurality of objects to receive information from the plurality of information sources based at least in part on a plurality of inputs and a plurality of weight values during that epoch. At least one server, associated with the neural network module, provides one or more of the objects to a plurality of recipients. The objects may comprise electronic mail messages, chat participants viewers, or slots within a link directory page. The recipients provide feedback about the information during an epoch. At the conclusion of an epoch, the neural network takes all of the feedback that has been provided from the recipients and generates a rating value for each of the plurality of objects. Based on the rating value and the selections made, the neural network redetermines the weight values within the network. The neural network then selects the objects to receive information during a subsequent epoch using the redetermined weight values and the inputs for that subsequent epoch.
