We accept that data structure determines program structure. But we should not forget that it is not just the input data that may be structured: output data may be structured too, and both may determine program structure.
The wealth of code now available on-line is fertile ground to enable machine learning to be applied to programming tasks. This post discusses the promise of and some progress on the problem “deep code.” It is the first in a series.
