While language seemed difficult for AI for a while, it now seems to be falling quite rqpidly to recent techniques. (It reminds me a little of the early years of aviation. In 1901 the US Navy's chief engineer called manned flight a "vain fantasy", & in 1903 the New York Times suggested flying machines would be possible in "one million to 10 million years". But it was accomplished later in 1903, with rapid improvement after that. Things that seem impossible now can become humdrum in a few decades.) What are the current best results from Marcus, or others using his preferred approaches?
