• Abstract: Synthesizing a program that realizes a logical specification is a classical problem in computer science. We examine a particular type of program synthesis, where the objective is to synthesize a strategy that reacts to a potentially adversarial environment while ensuring that all executions satisfy a Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) specification. Unfortunately, exact methods to solve so-called LTL synthesis via logical inference do not scale. In this work, we cast LTL synthesis as an optimization problem. We employ a neural network to learn a Q-function that is then used to guide search, and to construct programs that are subsequently verified for correctness. Our method is unique in combining search with deep learning to realize LTL synthesis. In our experiments the learned Q-function provides effective guidance for synthesis problems with relatively small specifications.

  We show how to generate correct controllers from temporal logic specifications using classical reactive handles (propositional) as a specification language. We also show that our method allows responses in the sense that the controller can optimize its outputs in order to always provide the smallest safe values.

  In this paper, we evaluate the abilities of Large Language Models to solve formal synthesis benchmarks. When one-shot synthesis fails, we propose a novel enumerative synthesis algorithm. We find that GPT-3.5 as a stand-alone tool for formal synthesis is easily outperformed by state-of-the-art formal synthesis algorithms.

  We consider the problem of automatically synthesizing formal specifications from system executions. Most of the classical approaches for synthesizing temporal logic formulas aim at minimizing the size of the formula. We formalize this notion and devise a learning algorithm that synthesizes concise formulas having bounded lookahead.

  We train hierarchical Transformers on the task of synthesizing hardware circuits directly out of high-level logical specifications. New approaches using machine learning might open a lot of possibilities in this area, but suffer from the lack of sufficient amounts of training data. We show that hierarchical Transformers trained on this synthetic data solve a significant portion of problems from the synthesis competitions.

  We propose SED, a neural program generation framework that incorporates synthesis, execution, and debug stages. SED first produces initial programs using the neural program synthesizer component, then utilizes a neural program debugger to iteratively repair the generated programs. On Karel, a challenging input-output program synthesis benchmark, SED reduces the error rate of the neural program synthesizer itself by a considerable margin, and outperforms the standard beam search for decoding.
