I am looking for any work done on predictive algorithms - by which I mean something that, given some input, is able to make a reasonable stab at a plausible continuation. I am decidedly not interested in things which compute transition probablities. Something which is able to generated some pattern of inference is more up my alley. For example, if I fed the pattern a a b a a b a into this thing, I would expect to get back a b as the most reasonable thing to expect. Any pointers to articles, dissertations, texts, programs etc would be extremely helpful. Please ship your replies to me directly, and many thanks in advance.
