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.
