- Communicating Natural Programs to Humans and Machines (2021 · 22 citations)
ARC (Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus) is a set of puzzles on grids of colored cells. Given a few input–output examples, one has to infer the rule and apply it to a new input. Humans solve most of these tasks easily, while the best AI systems solve only a small fraction. The authors argue that the reason is language.… - DreamCoder: Growing generalizable, interpretable knowledge with wake-sleep Bayesian program learning (2020 · 22 citations)
Program induction treats learning a task as finding a program that produces the desired behavior. It generalizes well from a few examples and yields knowledge humans can read. In practice, though, it has relied on hand-crafted domain-specific languages (DSLs) and search procedures tuned to them. DreamCoder learns… - Methods, Data, and Conceptual Change: Reflections from Two Quantitative Diachronic Case Studies (2026)
The paper asks how the structure of a historical corpus limits which kinds of meaning change a quantitative method can detect. The authors do not propose a new technique. They set two existing approaches side by side.
