Study Notes
- Program synthesis aims to automatically generate programs from specifications.
Synthesis as Search
- The goal is to find a program that produces the correct output for all given inputs.
- Brute-force search is inefficient as it generates and tests all programs.
- Stochastic search randomly samples programs, which is better than brute-force but still inefficient.
- Deductive search uses logical deduction to narrow down the search space, more efficient but complex to implement.
Program Synthesis Approaches
- Enumerative search systematically lists programs by increasing complexity, simple but inefficient for large programs.
- Efficiency can improve by pruning incorrect programs, caching results, and parallelizing the search.
- Stochastic search samples programs randomly, can be more efficient for large programs but finding the correct program may be difficult.
- The Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and genetic programming can enhance efficiency.
- Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT)-based Synthesis uses SMT solvers, efficient for certain programs but may be hard to encode as an SMT formula.
- CEGIS (CounterExample Guided Inductive Synthesis) is an iterative approach with synthesis and verification phases.
- The synthesis phase uses an SMT solver to satisfy examples.
- The verification phase checks the program and adds counterexamples if found, repeating the synthesis phase.
- Deductive synthesis uses logical deduction, efficient for some programs but can be complex to implement.
- Starts with a specification and uses inference rules to derive a satisfying program.
- Neural program synthesis uses neural networks, efficient for some programs but difficult to train.
- Learns mapping from specifications to programs through training datasets.
- Sequence-to-sequence models can translate specifications to programs.
Flash Fill
- Flash Fill automatically generates programs from input-output examples.
- Requires trace generation, conflict resolution by merging traces, and program extraction.
Flash Fill: Formalization
- Requires domain-specific language (DSL) as a set of functions to build programs.
- Semantic function maps a program to its output based on input-output examples.
- The search space is extensive, the semantic function becomes complex, and the specification becomes incomplete or ambiguous.
Flash Fill: DSL
- It uses a Domain Specific Language (DSL) with functions for string manipulation, conditional logic, and loops.
- The DSL must be expressive yet restricted to make the synthesis problem solvable.
Flash Fill: Abstract Semantics
- Uses abstract semantics to simplify concrete semantics for synthesis.
- The abstract semantics generates traces of program executions.
Flash Fill: Trace
- Trace represents program execution on an input using abstract semantic values.
- Traces help resolve conflicts between programs.
Flash Fill: Conflict Resolution
- Conflicts occur when programs differ in outputs for the same input.
- Programs get merged to represent common behavior.
Flash Fill: Program Extraction
- After merging, a program is extracted from the merged trace guaranteeing it satisfies the specification.
Inductive Program Synthesis
- Generates programs from input-output examples using different approaches.
- Enumerative search, Stochastic search, SMT-based synthesis, Deductive synthesis and Neural program synthesis.
Summary
- Program synthesis automates program generation from specifications.
- Approaches include enumerative, stochastic, SMT-based, deductive, and neural methods.
- Flash Fill generates programs from a small number of examples.
- Inductive program synthesis is a technique that automatically generate programs from input-output examples.
Algorithmic Complexity
- Measures the resources an algorithm consumes to compare efficiency.
- Focuses on how resource use grows with input size.
Why It's Needed
- For performance prediction, algorithm comparison and optimization.
Common Complexity Classes
| Notation | Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| O(1) | Constant | Execution time is constant / does not grow with input size | Accessing an element in an array by index. |
| O(log n) | Logarithmic | Execution time grows logarithmically with input size | Binary search in a sorted array. |
| O(n) | Linear | Execution time grows linearly with input size | Simple search in an unsorted array. |
| O(n log n) | Log-Linear | Execution time grows as a multiple of $n * log(n)$ | Efficient sorting algorithms (Merge Sort, Heap Sort). |
| O($n^2$) | Quadratic | Execution time grows quadratically with input size | Bubble sort, Selection sort. |
| O($2^n$) | Exponential | Execution time grows exponentially with input size | Finding all subsets of a set. |
| O(n!) | Factorial | Execution time grows factorially with input size | Generating all permutations of a string. |
How to Determine Complexity
- Identify dominant operations, analyze loops/if statements, and ignore constants.
Example 1: Linear Search
- O(n) = Linear time complexity as the loop iterates through 'n' elements
Example 2: Binary Search
- O(log n) = Logarithmic time complexity as the number of operations reduces logarithmically with each step
