MIT's New Algorithm That Can Decipher Ancient Languages

In a few of my previous articles, I have discussed how technology has helped us to better understand the history behind many lost cultures and civilizations. However, today I am excited to present you with a new stage within this technological trend that will help us unveil so many mysteries from ancient history. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has just created an algorithm that can decipher ancient languages without the input of any sort of data. This sort of new technological trend is known as machine learning and it can be simply defined as an algorithm that can, in simple terms, teach itself. Enginers from MIT that have worked on this algorithm for some time state that they have perfected it in such a way that it can read ancient languages without any information about the culture of the language or other relations the language may have to other similar ancient languages.
