[Article] Decoding Anagrammed Texts Written in an Unknown Language and Script

[-JKP-]

I've done AI programming, with languages like LISP, Prolog, and others (not so much Python, but that is simply due to lack of time), and didn't actually expect that the researchers had accomplished AI algorithms with perl (which is a very flexible language and very good for text processing but not inherently adapted to AI applications unless combined with other software).

I had to glance through the paper again because the media keeps saying AI and after a while the hype and actual research blurr together and, indeed, the researchers make no claim that this is artificial intelligence.


Unfortunately, the press is loading the headlines (and articles) with emotional buzzwords ("solved", "what no human could accomplish", "AI") and making no effort to represent the work accurately.
