Wouldn’t it be nice if anyone could explain what they want a program to do, and a computer could translate that into lines of code? A new AI system called AlphaCode is bringing humanity one step closer to that vision.
A new artificial intelligence system called AlphaCode is bringing humanity one step closer to that vision, according to a new study. Researchers say the system—from the research lab DeepMind, a subsidiary of Alphabet —might one day assist experienced coders, but probably cannot replace them.
AlphaCode’s creators focused on solving those difficult problems. Like the Codex researchers, they started by feeding a large language model many gigabytes of code from GitHub, just to familiarize it with coding syntax and conventions. Then, they trained it to translate problem descriptions into code, using thousands of problems collected from programming competitions.
“It continues to be impressive how well machine-learning methods do when you scale them up,” he says. The results are “stunning,” adds Wojciech Zaremba, a co-founder of OpenAI and co-author of their Codex paper. For now, DeepMind wants to reduce the system’s errors. Li says even if AlphaCode generates a functional program, it sometimes makes simple mistakes, such as creating a variable and not using it.
