The blog post specifically mentioned Program Synthesis which is exactly what you're talking about. The article they published was called Neural Programmers but I haven't read it: https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.04834 https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.04834
So at the very least they are working on it!
- UncleMeat 10y agoIts been a field of study for decades, though, with pretty minimal success. Every hot field gets applied to it (genetic algorithms being the hot stuff 6-10 years ago). I wouldn't worry yet.
- eva1984 10y agoYes, there are work on this field. But so far all are just like toy examples. The big barrier here is natural language understanding, so far we have limited success even with deep learning at hand. If eventually natural language understanding is solved, it is going to be a much bigger deal than programmer losing their jobs.
- primaryobjects 10y agoThe paper references program synthesis via neural networks. Here is my take on it, using genetic algorithms. http://www.primaryobjects.com/2013/01/27/using-artificial-intelligence-to-write-self-modifying-improving-programs/ http://www.primaryobjects.com/2013/01/27/using-artificial-in...
