New Algorithm for Learning Languages 454
An anonymous reader writes "U.S. and Israeli researchers have developed a method for enabling a computer program to scan text in any of a number of languages, including English and Chinese, and autonomously and without previous information infer the underlying rules of grammar. The rules can then be used to generate new and meaningful sentences. The method also works for such data as sheet music or protein sequences."

Input: "For example, the sentences I would like to book a first-class flight to Chicago, I want to book a first-class flight to Boston and Book a first-class flight for me, please may give rise to the pattern book a first-class flight -- if this candidate pattern passes the novel statistical significance test that is the core of the algorithm."
How does it feel to "book a first-class flight"?

- RTFA for me and just give me a good summary (by the rate of articles posted here, there's probably not much to summarize either)
- translate "IANAL" into something else that does not make me think of ANAL thing
- figure that articles on Google and Apple are just speculations by some dude living in his (can't be her, for sure) parent's basement, and not really news worth posting

Ich weiß, dass es ziemlich genau ist, weil ich meine spanischen sprechenden Freunde sobald in einem IM Gespräch zum Narren gehalten habe. Ich sagte ihnen, dass ich Spanisch über Hypnose lernte und grundsätzlich gerade alles Spanisch in IM kopieren/aufkleben. Das Gespräch ging seit ähnlichen 15 Minuten volles Spanisch weiter, bevor ich ihnen sagte, dass ich die Website verwendete. Sie waren pissing ihre Hosen.
the result back to english
I know that it is quite precise because I have held my Spanish speaking friends as soon as in one in the conversation to the fool. I said to them that I learned Spanish about hypnosis and basically just all Spanish in IN copy / stick. The conversation went on since similar 15 minutes of full Spanish, before I said to them that I used the website. They were pissing her trousers.
