Improving Inductive Program Synthesis by using Very Large Neighborhood Search and Variable-Depth Neighborhood Search

Brute, A state-of-the-art inductive program synthesis (IPS) system, introduced a two-phase algorithm; first, complex pro- gram instructions are invented from basic instructions. Sec- ond, a best-first search algorithm finds a sequence of invented instructions to solve an IPS task. This method is limited because invented instructions are always...
