Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for providing an interface to prioritize classification rules for an unclassified input. A set of classification rules for input queries are stored as a plurality of records, each record comprising a plurality of values, each value being associated with an attribute from a plurality of attributes ordered by priority from most important to least important, at least one record comprising a value consisting of a wildcard operator, and each record representing a classification rule that applies to an input query if and only if each value of the plurality of values is matched by a corresponding value for a same associated attribute in the input query. A GUI enables setting the ordering of the plurality of attributes; receiving an input query; and based on the ordering, automatically determining and outputting a unique best match among all classification rules that satisfy the input query.

Abstract: A system is disclosed, comprising data storage and one or more computing devices. The data storage stores a plurality of records, each record comprising a plurality of values, each value being associated with an attribute from a plurality of attributes, and each record representing a classification rule that is satisfied if and only if each value of the plurality of values is matched by a value in a candidate query. The computing devices comprise one or more processors and non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause processors to: provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to enable setting a first ordering of the plurality of attributes, receive a candidate query; and based on the ordering of the plurality of attributes, automatically determine and output a best match among a set of all classification rules that are satisfied by the candidate query.
