XKCD’s take on this remains accurate! It’s going to be very interesting indeed to see the progress over the next few years in this area, but that progress is not going to be the discovery of some general solution. It’s going to be a mixture (as mentioned above) of better understanding of the physical processes involved, larger databases of reliable experimental data covering more structural classes, and faster/more efficient ways for searching through all these (both the possible structures and the real ones) and generalizing rules to tell us when we’re closing in on something accurate.
