Part of the requirement of adblock software is to inject itself into the request pipeline in realtime and reject ad requests while at the same time causing as small a stall as possible and also using the least amount of resources. NN's running inside a browser don't satisfy any of those criterias.
- pilooch 11y agoNot inside a browser of course. If you consider enterprise-wide applications, NN would be better and possibly faster (with GPU) than a bluecoat proxy.
- Pharaoh2 11y agoI am still unconvinced if NN provide any advantage over regular expressions in this domain since it's not a hard problem to solve. Also, the request needs to be rejected before the connection is made so the only data to work with is the HTTP request headers. On an enterprise level, a better challenge to solve with NN would be to create a asic accelerated neural net hardware to filter packets/connections of IPS/IDS and firewall purpose with an extra ability of also possibly blocking advert.
