Original Abstract

This paper presents PAYNT, a tool to automatically synthesise probabilistic programs. PAYNT enables the synthesis of finite-state probabilistic programs from a program sketch representing a finite family of program candidates. A tight interaction between inductive oracle-guided methods with state-of-the-art probabilistic model checking is at the heart of PAYNT. These oracle-guided methods effectively reason about all possible candidates and synthesise programs that meet a given specification formulated as a conjunction of temporal logic constraints and possibly including an optimising objective. We demonstrate the performance and usefulness of PAYNT using several case studies from different application domains; e.g., we find the optimal randomized protocol for network stabilisation among 3M potential programs within minutes, whereas alternative approaches would need days to do so.
