Are there any social media client applications which use machine learning? For example, to filter statuses, or surface interesting statuses?

Technically, it's possible that Twitter itself may be doing this, to select "relevant" ads to insert into your tweetstream. But this isn't really within the spirit of my question, so I've left it as a comment. – Robin Green Dec 13 '11 at 6:51

One would think this would be a huge area of interest, but it seems to be limited to academics right now. – jonsca Dec 13 '11 at 7:14

It's not a client application in and of itself, but Pattern is a Python module that has been designed to do data mining from Twitter and Wikipedia. You could use it yourself, along with the Twitter API in a custom client.

Here are two Twitter clients which use machine learning to classify tweets, though both are what I would call research prototypes:

  1. Tweetist uses Bayesian classification
  2. Tweetniks tries to highlight "atypical" tweets from a user
