Problems are generally language agnostic, aside from being anti-English (or any other human language) Getting the intent refined down to an algorithm is the hard part.

Do you need to identify subgroups, or filter items into known subgroups? Either way, I'd suggest you keep those processes separate.

Also, how fuzzy are these groups? You said the examples are all from the same greater subgroup, but some have all zeros and others have all ones.

Are the groups defined by simple sets of must-have/can't-have/don't care, or are there more complex conditions where the relationship between two Items determines the group membership (eg: Item1 XOR Item2)?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
