      limitation of example-driven approaches to mixed-initiative co-creativity: you can't infer user intent purely from concrete examples. examples communicate both too little (missing general rules that guided example selection) & too much (extraneous features irrelevant to intent)

      program synthesis is promising here bc if we can synthesize a bunch of simple candidate programs that match user-specified examples, we can then present these programs to the user directly ("did you mean X?"), let them pick the best program & refine it to clarify their intent

      if you execute the interaction design correctly here, it starts to look a lot like explicit support for the process of intent formation! example-driven synthesis helps the user discover what concepts the system understands & how they can be combinedhttps://twitter.com/maxkreminski/status/1129122168871170048 …

      see also: some of my earlier musings about how creative tools need to *show possible alternatives*, not just help you accomplish tasks in other words, they need to support not just execution on intent but also the process of intent formation https://twitter.com/maxkreminski/status/748173042841452544 …

      Replying to @maxkreminski

      Strongly recommend the paper "Interactive Program Synthesis" (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.03539.pdf …). MSFT has the clearest perspective on this problem since they have actual users. Lots of interesting ideas, e.g. different forms of constraint specification.pic.twitter.com/XhkPXzSULJ

          nice, thanks for the ref! also planning to do a short paper-of-the-week thread on your Human-Centric Program Synthesis paper soon too, since that one anticipates a lot of the things i’m working on to some extent

          One idea not in that paper I've been focusing on: synthesis is a means of translating between representations of a program, usually low->high level (e.g. Python -> Pandas). What if you combine that with a compiler, i.e. going between high->low level representations?
