TLDR
A neural network method is introduced to encode programs as a linear mapping from an embedded precondition space to an embedded postcondition space and an algorithm for feedback at scale is proposed using these linear maps as features.Abstract:
Providing feedback, both assessing final work and giving hints to stuck students, is difficult for open-ended assignments in massive online classes which can range from thousands to millions of students. We introduce a neural network method to encode programs as a linear mapping from an embedded precondition space to an embedded postcondition space and propose an algorithm for feedback at scale using these linear maps as features. We apply our algorithm to assessments from the Code.org Hour of Code and Stanford University's CS1 course, where we propagate human comments on student assignments to orders of magnitude more submissions.read more

Global Relational Models of Source Code
TL;DR: This work bridges the divide between global and structured models by introducing two new hybrid model families that are both global and incorporate structural bias: Graph Sandwiches, which wrap traditional (gated) graph message-Passing layers in sequential message-passing layers; and Graph Relational Embedding Attention Transformers, which bias traditional Transformers with relational information from graph edge types.

Automated Correction for Syntax Errors in Programming Assignments using Recurrent Neural Networks
S. Bhatia,Rishabh Singh +1 more
TL;DR: A technique for providing feedback on syntax errors that uses Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to model syntactically valid token sequences that can fix the error by either replacing or inserting the predicted token sequence at the error location.

Neural Program Repair by Jointly Learning to Localize and Repair
TL;DR: It is beneficial to train a model that jointly and directly localizes and repairs variable-misuse bugs, and the experimental results show that the joint model significantly outperforms an enumerative solution that uses a pointer based model for repair alone.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization.
TL;DR: Adaptive subgradient methods as discussed by the authors dynamically incorporate knowledge of the geometry of the data observed in earlier iterations to perform more informative gradient-based learning, which allows us to find needles in haystacks in the form of very predictive but rarely seen features.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization
TL;DR: This work describes and analyze an apparatus for adaptively modifying the proximal function, which significantly simplifies setting a learning rate and results in regret guarantees that are provably as good as the best proximal functions that can be chosen in hindsight.

Random search for hyper-parameter optimization
James Bergstra,Yoshua Bengio +1 more
TL;DR: This paper shows empirically and theoretically that randomly chosen trials are more efficient for hyper-parameter optimization than trials on a grid, and shows that random search is a natural baseline against which to judge progress in the development of adaptive (sequential) hyper- parameter optimization algorithms.

A complexity measure
TL;DR: In this paper, a graph-theoretic complexity measure for managing and controlling program complexity is presented. But the complexity is independent of physical size, and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.
