PROFILE
Pamela Wochner
Developed and maintained the HerbSearch.jl repository, delivering a modular divide-and-conquer search framework for program synthesis in Julia. Over five months, the work focused on scalable feature discovery, robust decision-tree-based predicate generation, and flexible API design. The approach emphasized code modularity, grammar-based program synthesis, and symbolic AI, with extensive refactoring to support IOExample-based workflows and maintainable type systems. Integrated DecisionTree dependencies, streamlined test infrastructure, and upgraded CI pipelines to Julia 1.10, ensuring long-term maintainability. Comprehensive documentation and expanded test coverage supported reliability, while extension development and version control practices enabled external integration and ongoing project evolution.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 highlights: Delivered end-to-end enhancement to HerbSearch.jl enabling construction of a final program directly from a learned decision tree, with a refactored conquer pipeline and aligned divide-and-conquer flow. Added new DecisionTree dependency to support the workflow, and updated type annotations, IOExample usage, and API/docs for improved readability and integration. Reactivated and expanded test coverage to verify correctness of search algorithms, while cleaning up exports and docstrings for maintainability.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for Herb-AI/HerbSearch.jl: Focused on strengthening program synthesis robustness and search scalability. Delivered two major feature implementations with targeted refactors, expanded testing coverage, and groundwork for scalable performance in production usage. Key achievements include: - Decision-tree based predicate generation improvement for program synthesis: constrained predicate generation, refactor conquer_combine to properly handle input-output examples and predicates, and enhanced get_predicates to incorporate grammar constraints. Commit: b7f07bd1d5116d7d55cd50f3d14c70e6d40f9f88. - Divide-and-conquer search refactor and testing improvements: refactor to process StateHoles instead of RuleNodes; added a new error type for conditional if-else statements; updated tests, exports, and documentation; plus BV benchmark test example as part of testing. Commits: 8c8db8225c667e5ef30e2dff6f0058837d5a2a49; 768b73395cfab5f7da185bffedd872245aa9b937. Overall impact: - Improved reliability and quality of program synthesis through constrained predicates and clearer error handling. - Enhanced search scalability and maintainability via StateHole-based processing and better test coverage, including benchmark scenarios. - Strengthened documentation and exports to support broader adoption and easier onboarding. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Julia language proficiency, refactoring and modularization, state-hole representation, grammar-constrained predicate generation, testing strategies, and performance benchmarking.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 (2024-11) – HerbSearch.jl: Delivered a Divide and Conquer Search Framework extending the program synthesis pipeline. Established a modular divide/decide/conquer architecture with configurable search controls, divide-by-example workflow, solution evaluation scaffolding, and initial conquer groundwork (labels/predicates). Refactors and data handling improvements were completed to support IOExample-based feature extraction, accompanied by expanded tests and validation. This work lays the foundation for scalable, data-driven feature discovery in HerbSearch.jl.
