So I must implement a UI for creating and editing rules in my new ad blocker application. I imagine it being like the rules editor in Outlook, if you're familiar with that one. You're able to manipulate events, actions and conditions in a generic way to build complete rules that determine what Outlook does with your mail.
A while back, I was studying AI, and stumbled across Baysian Theory - Google Search[^]. From what I understand, Bayesian Theory is the primary means by which spam email is identified and filtered out from legit email. I know that both Google's Gmail and Microsoft's Outlook use Bayesian Theory. Based on what emails I see in my inbox versus the spam folder, I'm convinced that it works very well. You can use both rules, and Bayesian Theory together to get the best results.

I've been thinking a lot about design, and I must conclude that this will be fairly challenging for me. It's the most complex UI that I've had to build to this point.
My knowledge of Baseyain Theory is quite limited, but I get the feeling that implementing it into your system will be more complex than designing the complex UI that you're speaking of. I wish you the best of luck in this challenge. Keep me posted on how things go, as this subject matter is of interest to me as well. :thumbsup:
