Wow, if they are publishing this, you can bet they are applying these techniques to much more sophisticated problems already. This might be another preliminary signal for a future wave of white-collar job destruction.

All reasonable points, and there is plenty of good reason to be skeptical. On the other hand, Lockheed Martin is one of the largest defense and aerospace contractors out there, with a solid track record for bringing to market sophisticated

actually i think it is unfortunate for a completely different reason: transducers, particularly finite-state transducers, already have a long and rich history in both applied and theoretical computer science; and are currently one of the fu
