Have you ever wanted to predict the party affiliation of a member of US House of representative (Democrat or Republican) using knowledge of each congressperson’s voting record or his/her stand/position on issues? Is he/she representing his party affiliation and vote along his/her party? To what degree is the Republican/Democrat congressperson is Republican/Democrat? Is there a way to predict the degree in which a congressperson is Leftist/ Right-Wing? Is he/she representing his party affiliation and vote along his/her party? Using data from the U.S. House of Representatives and the vote history of the Congressperson on selected key issues, our quantitative /qualitative/perceptual Artificial Intelligence technique has been able to predict both the Congressperson affiliation and the degree in which he/she is affiliated to the specific party with 96-98 percent of the accuracy. Of course, this type of problem has many commercial applications (i.e. predicting the type of customer based o
n their purchase history).
