What one might wish to do is coding up an app for Android prompting 
volunteers to input various content targeting those patterns that are 
collected in CLDR, while programmatically converting raw data into 
the data structures that are needed for CLDR. Eg following example 
in the presentation you have shared, the app could prompt to type in 
the months of the year, a set of full dates, abbreviations, and so on.
Sending it all up to the server, where the data is then processed for 
CLDR intake. Ie the abstraction process effort is centralized instead 
of being passed on to the volunteers, sparing them with working 
through the documentation.

That seems to be an example of what algorithms can do in that sense.
But beware of stepping over into the realm of full-fleshed automated 
translation, which is outside the scope of CLDR.
