  Extracting magnetic and thermodynamic information from spectropolarimetric
observations is a difficult and time consuming task. The amount of
science-ready data that will be generated by the new family of large solar
telescopes is so large that we will be forced to modify the present approach to
inference. In this contribution, I propose several possible ways that might be
useful for extracting the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of solar
plasmas from such observations quickly.
