Powered by recent advances in code-generating models, AI assistants like Github Copilot
promise to change the face of programming forever. But what is this new face of …

Automatically transforming developers' natural language descriptions into source code has
been a longstanding goal in software engineering research. Two types of approaches have …

Many problem domains, including program synthesis and rewrite-based optimization,
require searching astronomically large spaces of programs. Existing approaches often rely …

With the rise of software-as-a-service and microservice architectures, RESTful APIs are now
ubiquitous in mobile and web applications. A service can have tens or hundreds of API …

Code-generating large language models (LLMs) are transforming programming. Their
capability to generate multi-step solutions provides even non-programmers a mechanism to …

Automatic program repair (APR) regularly faces the challenge of overfitting patches---
patches that pass the test suite, but do not actually address the problems when evaluated …

One vision for program synthesis, and specifically for programming by example (PBE), is an
interactive programmer's assistant, integrated into the development environment. To make …

Expert users of property-based testing often labor to craft random generators that encode
detailed knowledge about what it means for a test input to be valid and interesting …

AI-powered programming assistants are increasingly gaining popularity, with GitHub Copilot
alone used by over a million developers worldwide. These tools are far from perfect …

In recent years, researchers have explored component-based synthesis, which aims to
automatically construct programs that operate by composing calls to existing APIs. However …
