Automated Language Deciphering By Computer AI
eldavojohn writes "Ugaritic has been deciphered by an unaided computer program that relied only on four basic assumptions present in many languages. The paper (PDF) may aid researchers in deciphering eight undecipherable languages (Ugaritic has already been deciphered and proved their system worked) as well as increase the number of languages automated translation sites offer. The researchers claim 'orders of magnitude' speedups in deciphering languages with their new system."

Universal translator, here we come!
Cool! Can I bring it into my next marketing meeting?
Crumb's Corollary: Never bring a knife to a bun fight.
Only if the gross gains in closing juncture exceed the long-term sustainability goals of the viability imperative for all mass interoperability. We at Mega Industries believe this will move us forward to our cloud-based monetization of the human-media dynamic which is strategically important in an ever-evolving mobile continuum. We have directed our customer experience champions to ensure consumers realize this when they call in with emphatic expressions of dissatisfaction.
... see if it can decipher some of the perl code I've had to take over.
Also, how would researchers realize that [Apple Mac Glyph] isn't an integral part of our "ancient moon runes" if seen from their era? :)
They'd probably see it as having some sort of religious significance. And they'd be correct.
So you're telling me he was at Woodstock '69?
For those who don't know what it was like, clicky
