[comp.ai.digest] IXL - A Machine Learning System

KEARNS@CS.COLUMBIA.EDU (Steven M. Kearns) (01/23/88)

Hi.
I remember seeing an advertisement for IXL - A Machine Learning System;
it sounded interesting but I have lost the pointer to the company.

Has anybody used this, or know the address/phone number of the company.
As I remember it, it was some sort of combination of frame system, 
database, expert system, and kitchen sink.

IXL is a product of IntelligenceWare Corp, 9800 S. 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.
