Algorithm Synthesis from Examples as a Niche of Learning

4 Algorithm Synthesis from Examples as a Niche of Learning 

The synthesis of algorithms from examples is a machine learning task as it falls into the category of empirical learning from examples. Indeed, let s state the objectives of both fields  

The renaming substitutions to pass from one objective to the other one are obvious. 

But algorithm synthesis from examples is a highly specialized niche within empirical learning from examples. Table 3-1 summarizes the differences between the concerns of algorithm synthesis (as we view it) and the mainstream concerns (so far) of empirical learning.
