Given a few input–output examples, one has to infer the rule and apply it to a new input. Humans solve most of these tasks easily, while the best AI systems solve only a small fraction. The authors argue that the reason is language.… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[sk_p: a neural program corrector for MOOCs ↗](https://doi.org/10.1145/2984043.2989222) ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) · no summary yet**Yewen Pu et al.*2016 · 121 citations* 2.
