DeepCoder to write its own code

(Tech Xplore)—It's been said that an artificial intelligence dream has been building systems that can write computer programs. A University of Cambridge and Microsoft Research team is on a direct path.

They have a paper describing their work on DeepCoder. It is an artificial intelligence system they built and it is a machine learning system with the ability to write its own code.

But how? Matt Reynolds in New Scientist said Wednesday:

"DeepCoder uses a technique called program synthesis: creating new programs by piecing together lines of code taken from existing software – just like a programmer might. Given a list of inputs and outputs for each code fragment, DeepCoder learned which pieces of code were needed to achieve the desired result overall."

The paper "DeepCoder: Learning to write programs" is by Matej Balog, University of Cambridge, and Alexander Gaunt, Marc Brockschmidt, Sebastian Nowozin, and Daniel Tarlow from Microsoft Research.

Makes me wonder, how long before the "Rise of the Machines"?

Until that time, seeing new forms of intelligence self-developing and growing, perhaps one day it will become a new form of life
