“One of the most intriguing aspects of this research is that we’ve found that there are indeed universal properties of correct code that you can learn from one set of applications and apply to another set of applications,” Martin Rinard says. MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning system that can comb through repairs to open-source computer programs and learn their general properties, i
