Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing decision models. In one aspect, a method includes providing data that cause presentation of a model development user interface receiving first model rule data through the user interface. The first model rule data specify a first characteristic of a violating resource and a threshold score for the first characteristic. Additional model rule data are received through the user interface. The additional model rule data specify one or more additional model rules. Relationship data are received through the user interface for each of the additional model rules. The relationship data specify sets of the additional model rules that violating resources satisfy. Data that cause a hierarchical presentation of the first model rule and the additional model rules are provided.

Model development and evaluation

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for classifying objects. Object (e.g., Website) classification can be performed using multiple models that are implemented in a distributed processing environment. In response to receiving a request to classify an object based on attribute values that characterize the object models that are configured to classify objects based on the attribute values are identified and the attribute values are provided to the identified models. Based on classification data received from selected models is used to generate a final classification for the object. The final classification can specify or correspond to a presentation availability status of the object that can be used to control availability of the object. For example, a Website having a final classification of 'blacklisted' can be made unavailable for presentation based on the classification result.
