Hello All, Emping 0.4, a utility which can derive heuristic rules from facts in Open Office Calc spreadsheet .csv format, has been released on HackageDB. Version 0.4 supports blank fields, treated as 'none of the others', which allows for split attribute values. For example, "Owns Car" could have values "Yes" or 'No", and then "Yes" could be split into "Make", "Price Range" and so on, while the fields for "No" could be blank for these attributes. Data still have to be in the spreadsheet format of rows and columns (and in OO Calc .csv). Version 0.4 has a Gtk2Hs based GUI and the code has been changed in several places. Compiled with GHC 6.8 it appears to be noticeably faster than version 0.3. The package comes with a user guide, a white paper, and two data files from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. To get an impression see: http://j-van-thiel.speedlinq.nl/emp/empug.html The compiled binary for Linux, with documentation, can also be downloaded directly from my web site. Thank you, Hans van Thiel
