What is the system allowed to have when it starts? We would need to define the environment, for instance text based or audio, or movies/youtube. Once the contestants know the environment, they can use standard machine learning methods to discern entropy in the signal, and separate language-like noise from non language-like noise. Google does this pretty well, and automatically (but not perfectly) sub-title videos in a number of languages.

I suspect that this is harder, Noam might point out that a lot of grammatically well-formed sentences used in politics are not coherent ;-) > prize a 10 dollar signed Chomsky bill , and 500k. 3. a language learning module.
