Yep. >Despite recent success in large language model (LLM) reasoning, LLMs struggle with hierarchical multi-step reasoning tasks like generating complex programs. For these tasks, humans often start with a high-level algorithmic design and implement each part gradually. We introduce Parsel, a framework enabling automatic implementation and validation of complex algorithms with code LLMs, taking hierarchical function descriptions in natural language as input. We show that Parsel can be used across domains requiring hierarchical reasoning, including program synthesis, robotic planning, and…

There are many projects in the works that are having success with writing somewhat formal English language specifications and generating working software. One of my favorite recent projects is called Parsel: Parsel: A (De-)compositional Framework for Algorithmic Reasoning with Language Models https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.10561 Here's a notebook with an introduction: https://github.com/ezelikman/parsel/blob/main/parsel.ipynb And here's a GUI interface the author has been developing: http://zelikman.me/parsel/interface.html I've been working on an augmented large language model that given these…

I agree. My goal, which seems very achievable from my current research, is to write formal specifications in English and generate functioning code.
