Please predict whether this patent is acceptable.PATENT ABSTRACT: A recommendation system utilizes an optimistic adaptive submodular maximization (OASM) approach to provide recommendations to a user based on a minimized set of inquiries. Each inquiry's value relative to establishing user preferences is maximized to reduce the number of questions required to construct a recommendation engine for that user. The recommendation system does not require a priori knowledge of a user's preferences to optimize the recommendation engine.
