We consider the problem of automatically establishing that a given syntax-guided-synthesis (SyGuS) problem is unrealizable (i.e., has no solution). We formulate the problem of proving that a SyGuS problem is unrealizable over a finite set…

Synthesizing a program that realizes a logical specification is a classical problem in computer science. We examine a particular type of program synthesis, where the objective is to synthesize a strategy that reacts to a potentially…

Program synthesis is the generation of a program from a specification. Correct synthesis is difficult, and methods that provide formal guarantees suffer from scalability issues. On the other hand, neural networks are able to generate…

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…

Program synthesis is the process of automatically translating a specification into computer code. Traditional synthesis settings require a formal, precise specification. Motivated by computer education applications where a student learns to…

We study the problem of synthesizing programs from nonlinear real arithmetic (NRA) specifications. Existing techniques, such as syntax-guided synthesis (SyGuS), fail to synthesize programs when the specification is unrealizable. We argue…

We present an approach for synthesizing reactive robot motion plans, based on compilation to Syntax-Guided Synthesis (SyGuS) specifications. Our method reduces the motion planning problem to the problem of synthesizing a function that can…

Syntax-guided synthesis aims to find a program satisfying semantic specification as well as user-provided structural hypothesis. For syntax-guided synthesis there are two main search strategies: concrete search, which systematically or…

Program synthesis techniques construct or infer programs from user-provided specifications, such as input-output examples. Yet most specifications, especially those given by end-users, leave the synthesis problem radically ill-posed,…

Program synthesis has seen many new applications in recent years, in large part thanks to the introduction of SyGuS. However, no existing SyGuS solvers have support for synthesizing recursive functions. We introduce an multi-phase algorithm…

Program synthesis is the task of constructing a program conforming to a given specification. We focus on deductive synthesis, and in particular on synthesis problems with specifications given as $\forall\exists$-formulas, expressing the…

Program Synthesis is the mapping of a specification of what a computer program is supposed to do, into a computer program that does what the specification says to do. This is equivalent to constructing any computer program and a sound proof…

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…
