“ADIOS relies on a statistical method for pattern extraction and on structured generalization – two processes that have been implicated in language acquisition. Our experiments show that it can acquire intricate structures from raw data, including transcripts of parents' speech directed at two- or three-year-olds. This may eventually help researchers understand how children, who learn language in a similar item-by-item fashion and with very little supervision, eventually master the full complexities of their native tongue.”

“The concept of randomness and coincidence will be obsolete when people can finally define a formulation of patterned interaction between all things within the universe.”

“The analysis generated diagrams of psychedelically colored islands of statistically significant patterns floating in a sea of insignificant patterns. Basically, it demonstrated that most bacterial genomes are highly organized. Our results demonstrate that there are significant evolutionary constraints that act upon genomes organization as well as upon genome content. That interplay between organization and function can't be ignored if we want to gain a better fundamental understanding of how a microbial cell works.”

“We can learn about the pattern of evolution by looking at the structure of genes and comparing the structure of proteins.”
