Neo

A scalable program synthesizer that can learn from past mistakes.





What is Neo?

Neo is a novel synthesis framework based on the idea of conflict-driven learning. Given a spurious partial program that violates the specification, the idea is to infer a lemma that can be used to prevent similar mistakes in the future. Our synthesis algorithm infers these lemmas by identifying DSL constructs that are equivalent modulo conflict, meaning that replacing one component with the other results in an another infeasible program.

Scalable

Neo outperforms state-of-the-art synthesizers in PL (i.e., Morpheus) and ML (i.e., DeepCoder).

Fast

Neo can synthesize most tasks in a few seconds.

Generic

Neo can solve problems from different domains and supports arbitrary DSLs.
