Adaptive filtering of advertisements on web pages
Babak Esfandiari, Richard Nock · 2005
We present a browser extension to dynamically learn to filter unwanted images (such as advertisements or flashy graphics) based on minimal user feedback. To do so, we apply the weighted majority algorithm using pieces of the Uniform Resource Locators of such images as predictors. Experimental results tend to confirm that the accuracy of the predictions converges quickly to very high levels.
