ntelligence Factor Systems specializes in Artificial Intelligence based systems to provide enhanced human-machine interfaces for different applications ranging from Security & Authentication to Enhanced e-leaning systems, from interactive help systems to health-care. Our product INDIGO is an 'intelligent interface' enabler into information systems. It provides a wide range of sensory interfaces into data systems and applications, and employees case-based-reasoning (CBR) to allow its users interactively zero down to the information needed. Its features are: *Improved Human-Computer Interface: This sub-element supports work in a broad range of technologies and their integration to allow humans and computers to interact effectively, efficiently, and naturally. INDIGO employs many kinds of human-machine interfaces such as Voice recognition, Text-to-speech, multi-media, e-mail in addition to the traditional browser-based or other systems such as CD-ROMs. This reduces the problem of users having to lug around bulky equipment such as laptops or even palmtops. They can access information interactively in an instant, using anything from an ordinary cellphone to a Police wireless system. *Heterogeneous Database Interfaces: This sub-element supports methodologies to integrate heterogeneously structured databases composed of multi-formatted data. To support universal information dissemination, INDIGO relies on AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) an offshoot of XML (Extensible Markup Language) which has come to be accepted as the universal language of data transfer across heterogeneous platforms and systems. Using AIML a user will be able to issue a query to be broadcast to the appropriate databases and a timely response can then be returned and translated into the context of the user's query. Multi-formatted data may range from ASCII text to numerical time series, to multi-dimensional measurements, to time series of digital imagery, etc. Also of critical importance is the integration of metadata with the data and its accessibility across heterogeneous databases. *User-centered Design Tools/Systems: This sub-element consists of work in models and methodologies leading to interactive tools and software systems for design and other user-centered activities. Indigo's emphasis is on the development of ubiquitous, easy-to-use, and highly effective interactive tools. It effectively lets the user take charge of the interaction, and lets him/her interactively drill-down to the level of detail necessary. *Virtual-Reality, Augmented-Reality and Telepresence: This sub-element supports tools and methods for creating synthetic (virtual) environments to allow real-time, interactive human participation in the computing and communication loop. Such interaction may be through sensors, effectors, and other computational resources. For example, INDIGO through its support of multi-sensory interfaces can provide a virtual classroom environment without the presence of an instructor or teacher, or replay a human-conducted situation several times. *Self-Learning and Self-aware Technology: Most significantly, INDIGO is self-learning i.e. it learns not just from the aggregation of information fed into it, but it also seeks to refine the information based on interactions with other users. So its efficiency gets better and better, its responses sharper and sharper, as its usage increases. It employs sophisticated heuristics to refine its pattern- response combinations, with each interaction.
