Bayesian filtering
Currently I’m thinking a lot about Bayesian filtering and new ways to apply this to my every day software.
For those who aren’t that informed on the subject I would recommend reading A Plan for Spam by Paul Graham. Wikipedia has a few articles of interest as well. I’d recommend the ones on Bayes’ theorem and Bayesian spam filtering.
Currently I see a lot of areas where this technique can be applied – generally everything evolve around e-mails, RSS-feeds and automatic web-site crawling.
I hope that I’ll have the time in the near future to actually implement something.
