  • Publication number: 20230289523
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of creating a language-agnostic computer program repair engine generator. A context-free grammar is annotated to identify token(s) that are likely to be included in or excluded from a computer program in a manner that violates the context-free grammar. A language-agnostic computer program repair engine generator is created that is configured to generate a parser. The repair engine generator is configured to create a repair engine that: converts the candidate string into repaired strings that neither violate the context-free grammar nor violate a criterion for a valid computer program; calculates differences between the candidate string and the respective repaired strings; and replaces the candidate string with a designated repaired string based at least in part on the difference between the designated repaired string and the candidate string being less than or equal to a difference threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230280989
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of synthesizing a computer program to include idiomatic function(s) and semantically-meaningful variable(s) using programming by example. For instance, an intent of a user to synthesize a computer program to include functionality configured to generate sample output(s) from respective input(s) is determined based at least in part on receipt of the sample input(s) and the respective sample output(s) from the user. Based at least in part on the determined intent, the computer program is synthesized to include the idiomatic function(s) by configuring the idiomatic function(s) to have the target functionality and to conform to a convention of the target domain-specific language associated with a textual representation of the computer program to be displayed to the user. Non-semantically-meaningful variable(s) included among the idiomatic function(s) are replaced with the respective semantically-meaningful variable(s).

  • Publication number: 20230229850
    Abstract: Pasting content from a clipboard buffer as structured tabular data. A computer system determines a data type of content within a clipboard buffer. Based on the data type of the content, the computer system identifies a tabular pattern analysis technique to apply to the content. Based on applying the tabular pattern analysis technique to the content, the computer system identifies a portion of tabular content within the content. Using a clipboard application programming interface, the computer system presents the portion of tabular content to an application as paste data that is structured as a set of rows and a set of columns.

  • Patent number: 11372830
    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to interactive data splitting. A program for splitting an input column of an input data set into multiple output columns can be synthesized based on input-only examples. The program can further be generated based on various user input; thus, the user input can guide the synthesis of the program. Moreover, the program can be executed on the input data set to split the input column of the input data set into the multiple output columns.

  • Patent number: 7281252
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for implementing object interfaces at runtime are provided. According to the method, a request is received for a resource that includes a client side object that supports an object interface. In response to the request, program code is generated that implements the interface. Once the program code implementing the object interface has been generated, the requested resource and the program code implementing the object interface are returned in response to the request for the resource. An intermediary object for mediating communication between objects is also generated and returned in response to the request. If the object interface implements an interface for consuming data, the object interface registers itself with the intermediary object as an event consumer. If the object interface implements a provider interface, the object interface calls the intermediary object in response to the occurrence of a specified type of event.
