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…

In this paper, we propose two algorithms for solving linear inverse problems when the observations are corrupted by Poisson noise. A proper data fidelity term (log-likelihood) is introduced to reflect the Poisson statistics of the noise. On…
