Program-as-Weights: A Programming Paradigm for Fuzzy Functions

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 02512v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many everyday programming tasks resist clean rule-based implementation, such as alerting on important log lines, repairing malformed JSON, or ranking search results by intent, and are increasingly outsourced to large language model APIs at the cost of locality, reproducibility, and price.

Compile by Training: Turning Natural-Language Specifications into Local Neural Functions

The paper introduces "compile by training," a method that converts natural-language specifications into reusable neural functions. By generating task-specific examples with teacher models at compile time, a small adapter is trained for a compact interpreter, eliminating the need for remote model calls during execution. The approach achieves 83.6% semantic accuracy on FuzzyBench-Hard, though it incurs a higher compile-time cost of about a minute, and is demonstrated in applications such as a multi-site website helper, a language-controlled 3D avatar, and a bidirectional English‑Claudish translator.
