Abstract
A system and method for controlling information output based on user feedback about the information is provided. At least one neural network module selects one or more of a plurality of objects to receive information from a plurality of information sources based at least in part on a plurality of inputs and a plurality of weight values during an epoch. The information sources may include electronic mail providers, chat participants, or page links. Recipients of the objects provide feedback about the information during an epoch. At the conclusion of an epoch, the neural network takes the feedback 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.
