Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add a CNN encoder for input-output conditioning (ablation) | IO+NL+pseudo-annotation synthesis · LARC synthesis test split | tasks solved: 22/183 -> 22/183 | No clear effect |
| Replace color words in descriptions with COLOR (ablation) | CLIP description pairing · LARC description pairing | pairing accuracy: 64% -> 56% | Hurt |
| Use a neural sequence decoder instead of the bigram generator (ablation) | Program synthesis on LARC · LARC synthesis test split | tasks solved | Hurt |
| Add pseudo-annotated language-program training pairs (ablation) | LARC program synthesis · LARC synthesis test split | tasks solved: 22/183 | Helped |
| Provide input-output examples as well as language instructions | Program synthesis and GPT-4 prompting on LARC · LARC | tasks solved | Helped |
