SUMMARY:The Future of Coding - David Vella Zarb\, Computer Science
DTSTART:20241121T130000Z

CONTACT:Alexander R Epstein
DESCRIPTION:Code that writes itself has been a goal of artificial intellig
 ence since its earliest days\, and we are now closer than ever to fully au
 tomating programming. This seminar explores two key approaches driving thi
 s progress: genetic programming\, which evolves programs through natural s
 election\, and large language models (LLMs)\, which generate code using pa
 tterns learned from vast datasets. Combining these methods could overcome 
 current limitations and pave the way for a future where machines play a ce
 ntral role in shaping software development.
