I used an Artificial Immune System (AIS) for the learning phase of a pattern recognition system. I also used it for a Multiple Sequence Alignment problem (bioinformatics)

I built a feature selection operator with an AIS at its core, it was for Yale 3.0...the operator was working but needed more tuning and for lack of time, I didn't publish it anywhere. The source code is still available.

ParadisEO

My work was to add new algorithms to the framework...

Many possibilities exist, I think I will start with WatchMaker, it seems simple and well documented...but I still need to try it (never knows what could happen !!!)

Iam writing it, just wated to know if the idea would help the Mahout project...and I already installed and tried Hadoop (not that easy on Windows !!!)

I see this is ASL, so that seems workable, but I'd be interested in  
hearing more about how it integrates w/ what we are doing?
