>Rajpopat said, "Computer scientists working on natural language processing gave up on rule-based approaches over 50 years ago... So teaching computers how to combine the speaker's intention with Pāṇini's rule-based grammar to produce human speech would be a major milestone in the history of human interaction with machines, as well as in India's intellectual history."

So... a 2500 year algorithm would be running on a modern machine. Very cool indeed. What I am not sure they meant by teaching it to produce human speech. Is it like an automata diagram that defines the rules for Sanskrit language?
