LambdaBeam: Neural Program Search with Higher-Order Functions and Lambdas
Search is an important technique in program synthesis that allows for adaptive strategies such as focusing on particular search directions based on execution results. Several prior works have demonstrated that neural models are effective at guiding program synthesis searches. However, a common drawback of those approaches is the inability to handle iterative loops, higher-order functions, or lambda functions, thus limiting prior neural searches from synthesizing longer and more general programs. We address this gap by designing a search algorithm called LambdaBeam that can construct arbitrary lambda functions that compose operations within a given DSL. We create semantic vector representations of the execution behavior of the lambda functions and train a neural policy network to choose which lambdas to construct during search, and pass them as arguments to higher-order functions to perform looping computations. Our experiments show that LambdaBeam outperforms neural, symbolic, and LLM-based techniques in an integer list manipulation domain.

Best practices for viewing and querying Amazon SageMaker service quota usage
Amazon SageMaker customers can view and manage their quota limits through Service Quotas. In addition, they can view near real-time utilization metrics and create Amazon CloudWatch metrics to view and programmatically query SageMaker quotas. SageMaker helps you build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models with ease. To learn more, refer to Getting started with Amazon SageMaker. Service Quotas simplifies limit management by allowing you to view and manage your quotas for SageMaker from a central location.
Python Lambda Functions, Explained - KDnuggets
Since the advent of computer programming, functions have played a key role by offering advantages such as reusability, readability, modularity, error reduction, and easy modification. Reusability is considered one of the most useful traits of a function but what if I tell you there are functions that are not reusable but still useful? To find out, read along! A lambda function does not have a name and is an immediately invoked function. It can accept any number of arguments but returns only one expression, unlike regular functions.
