My background is fairly heavily AI-slanted so that's the sort of area
I've been coming up with ideas. I think the best one I've had so far is
to take the data and couple it with a Bayesian classification system. By
using a reasonable set of training data (a previous week's listings for
example) and a decent heuristic you should be able to create an AI
system that can predictively suggest forthcoming programmes. You would
also need some ancillary odds and sods like user tracking to cater on a
per-person basis. With the basic system implemented the heuristic
function could be tweaked to make it more accurate if necessary, the
same base system could also be used with multiple functions - perhaps
one could have a larger emphasis on timing than content etc. The coding
for this most likely wouldn't be all that intense since its primarily
mathematical, although storing the results of profiling would give it a
reasonable amount of overhead (or would require a bit of ninja-ing)
since you would be having to do a certain amount of natural language
analysis on the data.
I don't know about you guys, but something that highlighted programs I
might be interested in would certainly be of benefit to me, saving me
trawling through the listings.
