Papers
- Competition-Level Code Generation with AlphaCodeScience 2022Describes AlphaCode, a system that generates many candidate programs for competitive programming problems and filters them by running them on test cases.
- Gated Graph Sequence Neural NetworksICLR 2016 2015Extends graph neural networks with gated recurrent updates so they can output sequences, tested on program verification tasks.
- Strong Generalization and Efficiency in Neural ProgramsarXiv 2020Trains neural models to learn algorithms such as sorting that keep working on inputs far larger than those seen in training.
