1. **[Syntax-Guided Synthesis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alur-2013-syntax-guided-synthesis/)** *(2013 · 633 citations)* Many recent synthesis tools, including program sketching, superoptimization, loop-free program synthesis and example-driven spreadsheet macros, let users restrict candidate programs syntactically as well as specifying them logically.
2. **[Learning Heuristics for Quantified Boolean Formulas through Deep Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lederman-2018-learning-heuristics-quantified-boolean-formulas/)** *(2018 · 12 citations)* The paper asks whether deep reinforcement learning can produce better branching heuristics for solvers of quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), specifically 2QBF of the form ∀X.∃Y.ϕ with ϕ in CNF.
