Abstract

Looking around this world, we see that a fledgling can fly faster and faster, a pupil can calculate quicker and quicker, and a graduate student can write papers better and better. But since the birth of computers, it has been the case that after the release of a software package, the one millionth run of the program is typically not a bit better than its first-time run. Do programs have to be this dumb? In this talk, I will discuss the barriers that cause such dumbness, our efforts in creating a more intelligent paradigm, and some open challenges that you may be able to help address.
