20130018833 | NEURAL NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OUTPUT BASED ON USER FEEDBACK - For various information sources, information output based on user feedback about information from the sources is controlled. A neural network module selects object(s) to receive information from the information sources based on inputs and weight values during that epoch. A server, associated with the neural network module, provides the object(s) to recipients. The object(s) 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 the feedback provided by the recipients and generates a rating value for the object(s). Based on the rating value and the selections made, the neural network re-determines the weight values within the network. The neural network then selects the object(s) to receive information during a subsequent epoch using the re-determined weight values and the inputs for that subsequent epoch. | 01-17-2013 |
