Task: Summarization
Input (English): Synthesizing user-intended programs from a small number of input-output exam-
 ples is a challenging problem with several important applications like spreadsheet
 manipulation, data wrangling and code refactoring. Existing synthesis systems
 either completely rely on deductive logic techniques that are extensively hand-
 engineered or on purely statistical models that need massive amounts of data, and in
 general fail to provide real-time synthesis on challenging benchmarks. In this work,
 we propose Neural Guided Deductive Search (NGDS), a hybrid synthesis technique
 that combines the best of both symbolic logic techniques and statistical models.
 Thus, it produces programs that satisfy the provided specifications by construction
 and generalize well on unseen examples, similar to data-driven systems. Our
 technique effectively utilizes the deductive search framework to reduce the learning
 problem of the neural component to a simple supervised learning setup. Further,
 this allows us to both train on sparingly available real-world data and still leverage
 powerful recurrent neural network encoders. We demonstrate the effectiveness
 of our method by evaluating on real-world customer scenarios by synthesizing
 accurate programs with up to 12× speed-up compared to state-of-the-art systems.
Output (English): Proposes system that synthesizes programs from a single example that generalize better than prior state-of-the-art
