Sepulveda Blvd, Suite 730, Los Angeles, CA 90045. They also make Intelligence/Compiler. Call (213) 417 8896 for information. These products run on an IBM PC. IXL is a very interesting product that takes a database (ASCII, 1-2-3, dbase formats) and derives rules of the form (if A > a and B between b1 & b2, then C = c with confidence XX). Their product was advertised in AI Expert, IEEE Expert and AI Magazine. I would be interested to see any experiences with IXL, and whether it can derive some actually useful rules.
