Row Polymorphic Programming
Sometimes, especially when dealing with business logic, we have to deal with data that comes in from the real world, or elsewhere, naturally very messily typed, leading to nasty type signatures and messes of macros or code generation to build data structures from a schema. Row polymorphism can help us by abstracting over the fields contained in a record type in the type signature, letting us define records based on data, concatenate records together, and define functions that are generic across…

Active Learning for Neurosymbolic Program Synthesis
The goal of active learning for program synthesis is to synthesize the desired program by asking targeted questions that minimize user interaction. While prior work has explored active learning in the purely symbolic setting, such techniques are inadequate for the increasingly popular paradigm of neurosymbolic program synthesis, where the synthesized program incorporates neural components. When applied to the neurosymbolic setting, such techniques can -- and, in practice, do -- return an uninte…
