Reviews: Program Synthesis and Semantic Parsing with Learned Code Idioms

Summary: This paper proposes a semantic parsing and program synthesis method. Code generation relies on low-level and high-level abstractions. High-level abstractions can be thought of as functions that are re-used in several programs. In order to model high-level abstraction, the authors propose using a code-idiom mining method from the literature. Once the code idioms are extracted, the program is generated. The generative process has the capability of spitting tokens or idioms.
