GRCNN: Graph Recognition Convolutional Neural Network for Synthesizing Programs from Flow Charts

원문 초록

Program synthesis is the task to automatically generate programs based on user specification. In this paper, we present a framework that synthesizes programs from flow charts that serve as accurate and intuitive specifications. In order doing so, we propose a deep neural network called GRCNN that recognizes graph structure from its image. GRCNN is trained end-to-end, which can predict edge and node information of the flow chart simultaneously. Experiments show that the accuracy rate to synthesize a program is 66.4%, and the accuracy rates to recognize edge and nodes are 94.1% and 67.9%, respectively. On average, it takes about 60 milliseconds to synthesize a program.
