Natural language (NL) programming has become more approachable due to the powerful code-generation capability of large language models (LLMs). This shift to using NL to program enhances collaborative programming by reducing communication barriers and ...

Natural Language (NL) programming, the concept of synthesizing code from natural language inputs, has garnered growing interest among the software community in recent years. Unfortunately, current solutions in the space all suffer from the same problem, ...

Recently, natural language (NL)-based program synthesis has drawn increasing interest. Conventional methods that depend on some predefined domain-specific rules suffer from the lack of robustness and generality. Recent efforts on adopting deep learning ...

Natural Language (NL) programming automatically synthesizes code based on inputs expressed in natural language. It has recently received lots of growing interest. Recent solutions however all require many labeled training examples for their data-driven ...

Natural language programming is a promising approach to enable end users to instruct new tasks for intelligent agents. However, our formative study found that end users would often use unclear, ambiguous or vague concepts when naturally instructing ...

End-user programmable intelligent agents that can learn new tasks and concepts from users' explicit instructions are desired. This paper presents our progress on expanding the capabilities of such agents in the areas of task applicability, task ...

This paper presents the architecture of Almond, an open, crowdsourced, privacy-preserving and programmable virtual assistant for online services and the Internet of Things (IoT). Included in Almond is Thingpedia, a crowdsourced public knowledge base of ...

The design of mashup tools combines elements from end-user development and software composition in the context of the Web. The challenge for mashup tool designers is to provide end-users with suitable abstractions, programming models and tool support ...

The typical properties of natural language - redundancy avoidance, locality, and immediacy - support high semantic density and improve readability, and therefore, are also interesting for the design of programming languages. To achieve these properties, ...

Although characterized as being "high level", classical programming languages such as Pascal and C have a grammar that is very different from natural language. In this research field, two main streams are noteworthy, one of them is characterized by an ...

In this article a new programming paradigm is discussed: naturalistic programming. Naturalistic Programming means writing computer programs with the help of natural language.The authors are convinced that contemporary programming techniques have reached ...

A support vector rule based method is investigated for the construction of motion controllers via natural language training. It is a two-phase process including motion control information collection from natural language instructions, and motion ...

Every program tells a story. Programming, then, is the art of constructing a story about the objects in the program and what they do in various situations. So-called programming languages, while easy for the computer to accurately convert into code, are,...

Current natural language research areas include text generators, intelligent parsers, machine translators and information retrieval systems. All of these research areas share the need for a lexical resource. Most current natural language applications ...

A considerable amount of work has been done on verifying that computer programs fit their specifications. However, providing formal specifications is itself a difficult and tedious task, so that programs are generally only documented incompletely and ...

By typing requests in English, casual users will be able to obtain explicit answers from a large relational database of aircraft flight and maintenance data using a system called PLANES. The design and implementation of this system is described and ...
