Whatever it implies it that the methodology is complicated, that's all.  An
algorithm is a method for doing something, a complex algorithm is one that
is complicated.  You really should bring some factual information to the table,
begging off on the complexity of the algorithm on a technical forum doesn't work.

Please do.

: If anyone has more info PLEASE post it!

Together with the complexity, we can decide whether it can be understood.
My guess is that if they had such a thing, there should have been *some*
inkling of some of the algorithmic discoveries in the literature.  A lot of
sales/marketing fluff is generated around the mysterious word *algorithm*,
I can attest, as someone who writes (sometimes complex) algorithms
for a living, that the word is math/computing term for "method", and that's
all.
