Multimodal program synthesis, which leverages different types of user input to synthesize a desired program, is an attractive way to scale program synthesis to challenging settings; however, it requires integrating noisy signals from the…

Logic Programming is a Turing complete language. As a consequence, designing algorithms that decide termination and non-termination of programs or decide inductive/coinductive soundness of formulae is a challenging task. For example, the…

We study the fluted fragment of first-order logic which is often viewed as a multi-variable non-guarded extension to various systems of description logics lacking role-inverses. In this paper we show that satisfiable fluted sentences (even…

The ability to compute reward-optimal policies for given and known finite Markov decision processes (MDPs) underpins a variety of applications across planning, controller synthesis, and verification. However, we often want policies (1) to…

We explore and formalize the task of synthesizing programs over noisy data, i.e., data that may contain corrupted input-output examples. By formalizing the concept of a Noise Source, an Input Source, and a prior distribution over programs,…

We carry on the study of the synthesis problem on data words for fragments of first order logic, and delineate precisely the border between decidability and undecidability.

The unification algorithm has long been a target for program synthesis research, but a fully automatic derivation remains a research goal. In deductive program synthesis, computer programming is phrased as a task in theorem proving; a…

Given a specification and a set of candidate programs (program space), the program synthesis problem is to find a candidate program that satisfies the specification. We present the synthesis through unification (STUN) approach, which is an…

We present realizability and realization logic, two program logics that jointly address the problem of finding solutions in semantics-guided synthesis. What is new is that we proceed eagerly and not only analyze a single candidate program…

We present a framework that takes a concurrent program composed of unsynchronized processes, along with a temporal specification of their global concurrent behaviour, and automatically generates a concurrent program with synchronization…

The idea of using unfolding as a way of computing a program semantics has been applied successfully to logic programs and has shown itself a powerful tool that provides concrete, implementable results, as its outcome is actually source…
