Increasing AI Programmer Productivity

With the advent of machine learning techniques, programmer productivity is poised to significantly improve. The job of a software engineer is changing into one where they learn a model for a function by using vast amounts of data, and then apply this model to predict or infer the value of this function on new and unknown data. But for this new model of software development to become the dominant approach, we will need advances in several areas, including in program synthesis, compilers, high-performance co
