Towards a Measure of Algorithm Similarity
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
A new paper on arXiv discusses the challenge of measuring algorithm similarity, particularly when determining if two algorithms for the same problem are meaningfully different. While the question is complex and often uncomputable, the authors highlight the importance of having a consistent similarity metric for practical applications like clone detection and program synthesis. This research could pave the way for better evaluation methods in algorithm development, making it easier for developers to assess and improve their work.
