They kind of hint at it in the article, but sounds like automatic feature detection really helped here. That's really the future (or present): learning algos discovering better features automatically, significantly cutting down the labor involved in feature engineering. Pretty neat. Here's a video talking about current research into this at Stanford: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmNOAtZIgIk&feature=youtube_gdata_player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmNOAtZIgIk&feature=youtu...
