Facebook AI advances in their exploration of machine programming by creating a new TransCoder that translates code between different coding languages. Justin Gottschlich was quoted at the end of this article.

Linh Thi Xuan Phan, Associate Professor in CIS, is the recipient of the 2020 Lindback Award. Established in 1961 with the help of the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation, the award is the highest teaching honor bestowed upon faculty at the University of Pennsylvania. The University normally gives out eight Lindback awards each year, divided evenly between health-related disciplines and all other departments and divisions. We congratulate Linh for her leadership, contributions, and devotion to teaching/education.

Dr. Gottschlich sat down with longtime New York Times correspondent Craig S. Smith for their Eye on A.I. podcast (Episode No. 033 - "Software that writes software: toward a future in which everyone can create computer programs") to explain his machine programming research efforts to automate software development.  "The ambition is to make it possible for anybody to create software simply by describing what they intend the software to do," wrote the NY Times.
