Rule-based systems have been used to augment machine learning based algorithms for annotating data in unstructured and dynamic environments. Rules can alleviate many of shortcomings inherent in pure algorithmic approaches. Rule adaptation is a challenging and error-prone task: in a rule-based system, there is a need for an analyst to adapt rules in order to keep them applicable and precise. In this paper, we present an approach for adapting data annotation rules in unstructured and constantly changing environments. Our approach offloads analysts from adapting rules and autonomically identifies the optimal modification for rules using a Bayesian multi-armed-bandit algorithm. We conduct experiments on different curation domains and compare the performance of our approach with systems relying on analysts. The experimental results show a comparative performance of our approach compared to analysts in adapting rules.
