Developers spend an amazing amount of time finding and fixing bugs in their programs. There’s been great progress in tooling, compiler and IDE extensions, linters, and other increasingly expressive tools to automatically find bugs before (and after) code ships. But what about automatically fixing them? Claire Le Goues shares recent advances in academic software engineering and programming languages research that aims to bring that dream to reality, using everything from metaheuristic search to program synthesis to machine learning and search over big databases of existing code to make it happen.

Humans in the loop: Jupyter notebooks as a frontend for AI pipelines at scale

December 22, 2019

Paco Nathan reviews use cases where Jupyter provides a frontend to AI as the means for keeping humans in the loop. This process enhances the feedback loop between people and machines, and the end result is that a smaller group of people can handle a wider range of responsibilities for building and maintaining a complex system of automation.
