Abstract

Every regular email user is well aware of the problems for managing large numbers of messages in his/her mailbox, because of the large amount of email that people receive every day. As we knwo the most users feel difficult to maintain filter rule for email classification problem, even expert users still have to put some effort on the task. It will be valuable if users can have a smart system to help them maintaining email filter rule. We thus integrated: machine learning for defining the rules, scrutable model, and programming by demonstration, called the Scrutable Rule Interface, and added them into a part of IEMS, to show how they can encourage and assist users to manage filter rule for email management. We describe a practical assistance interface and present empirical results that found general and expert users feel more confidant to infer thier own rules or apply other mechanizms used to infer the filter rules.This improved performance to acceptable levels.
