WAMpy framework accelerates Prolog program synthesis in Python

Researchers have developed WAMpy, a Python framework designed for the efficient synthesis of Prolog programs. This system is particularly suited for tasks involving the repeated generation and evaluation of small candidate programs. WAMpy achieves performance gains by compiling Prolog clauses into NumPy array-based WAM instructions and utilizing Numba for just-in-time compilation of performance-critical routines. Benchmarks indicate that WAMpy outperforms SWI-Prolog when accessed via Python with Janus for workloads involving repeated compilation and evaluation. AI

IMPACT This framework could enhance the efficiency of AI systems that rely on symbolic reasoning and program generation.
