PLAYFUL INCENTIVE FOR LABELING CONTENT
First Claim
1. A network device configured to manage a classification task over a network, comprising:
- a transceiver to send and receive data over a network; and
a processor that is operative to perform actions, comprising;
receiving a selection of an animated image;
assigning the animated image to operate as a user interface to a classifier;
receiving user feedback through the animated image related to at least one action associated with a classification task of the classifier;
using the user feedback to train the classifier; and
providing a change the animated image in response to receiving the user feedback, wherein the change of the animated image is directed towards encouraging receipt of additional user feedback.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards employing a playful incentive to encourage users to provide feedback that is useable to train a classifier. The classifier being associated with any of a variety of different settings, including but not limited to classifying: messages as ham/spam, images, advertising, bookmarking, music, videos, photographs, shopping, or the like. An animated image, such as a pet, provides an interface to the classifier that encourages and responds to user feedback. Users may share their classifiers or aspects thereof with other users to enable a community of knowledge to be applied to a classification task, while preserving privacy of the user feedback. One form of sharing may be within the context of a competitive game. Various evaluations may be performed on a classifier to indicate user feedback consistency, or quality. Classifiers may also be used to provide users with advertisements, products, or services based on the user'"'"'s feedback.

6. A processor readable storage medium that includes data and instructions, wherein the execution of the instructions on a computing device provides for managing a classification activity over a network by enabling actions, comprising:
-
identifying a classifier with an animated image, wherein the animated image is configure to operate as a user interface to the classifier, and to receive user feedback about a result of the classifier; receiving content to be classified; employing the classifier to classifier the content; receiving user feedback through the animated image based on a result of the classification; using the user feedback to train the classifier; and animating the animated image to provide recognition of the received user feedback. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method for managing a message delivery over a network, comprising:
-
receiving a selection of an animated image; associating the animated image to a classifier, wherein the animated image is configured to operate as a user interface to the classifier; receiving content by the classifier; receiving a classification result from the classifier for the received content; receiving user feedback to the classification result; using the user feedback to train the classifier; and modifying at least a display of the animated image to indicate recognition of the user feedback. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A mobile device for enabling classification of data over a network, comprising:
-
a memory arranged to store data and instructions; an input interface for receiving requests and sending responses; and a processor arranged to enable actions embodied by at least a portion of the stored instructions, the actions comprising; displaying an animated image useable as an interface to a classifier that is configured to perform a classification task on content; displaying a result of a classification by the classifier on received content; enabling a user to employ the animated image to provide user feedback on the result of the classification, wherein the user feedback is useable to train the classifier; and modifying a display of the animated image to indicate receipt of the user feedback. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
