Abstract
Dynamic user training rules can be employed to organize content within a folder. Each folder can be associated with a dynamic rule that defines a number of attribute and weighting factor associations and a folder threshold. Each attribute and weighting factor association can identify an attribute that is common among the contents of the smart folder and associate a weighting factor with the common attribute. Whenever a user manually moves content into or out of the smart folder, the attribute and weighting factor associations and possibly the folder threshold can be updated accordingly, such as by adjusting a value of one or more weighting factors to better reflect how common they are after the content has been manually moved into or out of the folder. In this way, the dynamic rule is automatically updated in response to the user's interaction with the smart folder.
