looking for open source predictive algorithm

[gophins72]

Hello,

I am trying to write a small program that will predict what a person would most likely choose based on a series (set) of previously chosen data, for example, if you choose a bunch of different types of fruits and vegetables, it could see that perhaps you like things that are green and then suggest grapes (assuming you havent chosen grapes).

Anyone know where/how I can find what exists for something like this?

Thanks!

You might look into AI stuff. (most algorithms are "open source"). Specifically
Neural networks
Support vector machines
Genetic algorithms (An effective method of training Neural networks)
Bayesian Networks

Sounds like a perfect problem for a Nueral Network

thanks. i will read up on this.
