Query: Selecting asteroids for a targeted spectroscopic survey   Asteroid spectroscopy reflects surface mineralogy. There are few thousand
asteroids whose surfaces have been observed spectrally. Determining the surface
properties of those objects is important for many practical and scientific
applications, such as for example developing impact deflection strategies or
studying history and evolution of the Solar System and planet formation.
  The aim of this study is to develop a pre-selection method that can be
utilized in searching for asteroids of any taxonomic complex. The method could
then be utilized im multiple applications such as searching for the missing
V-types or looking for primitive asteroids.
  We used the Bayes Naive Classifier combined with observations obtained in the
course of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Wide-field Infrared Survey
Explorer surveys as well as a database of asteroid phase curves for asteroids
with known taxonomic type. Using the new classification method we have selected
a number of possible V-type candidates. Some of the candidates were than
spectrally observed at the Nordic Optical Telescope and South African Large
Telescope.
  We have developed and tested the new pre-selection method. We found three
asteroids in the mid/outer Main Belt that are likely of differentiated type.
Near-Infrared are still required to confirm this discovery. Similarly to other
studies we found that V-type candidates cluster around the Vesta family and are
rare in the mid/oter Main Belt.
  The new method shows that even largely explored large databases combined
together could still be further exploited in for example solving the missing
dunite problem.
