February 2026 Podcast Recap

Program synthesis is the problem of automatically generating code that satisfies a specification. The real challenge isn’t searching faster, it’s making the right parts of the search space searchable at all. This week's episode is a short recap of the podcast so far. Across the past 8 conversatio‮…
The way a problem is represented can determine whether it is solvable at all. Céline Hocquette, AI researcher at Ndea and former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, discusses her paper “Relational Decomposition for Program Synthesis”, which introduces a representation-driven appr‮…
