1. Write, Execute, Assess: Program Synthesis with a REPL (2019 · 86 citations)
   Program synthesis is difficult because a small syntactic edit can drastically change what a program does, and neural networks struggle to learn this mapping.
2. 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.…
