Is there a term that describes an application that becomes smarter the more data it has?

Question

My colleague asked me to name a term (preferably an adjective) that can be used to describe a system that is becoming more “intelligent” as it receives more data. The example she used to ask me this question was that "Google crawls more sites, it gets smarter when it searches."

Personally, the best I could come up with was “adaptive,” but that doesn't seem right. Can anyone suggest something better?

Thanks!

Answer 10

If it is a communications network, then it follows Metcalfe's law . You could call it Metcalfan. (Want to laugh.)

Answer 11

I think this term refers to adaptive associative memory systems (possibly autonomy).
