Tackling the data skills crunch with self-programming machines | Gerard Gorman

With ever more data and computational power at our disposal, software is becoming more costly and complicated to write. We need new software-writing software, analogous to the 1950s compilers that allowed computers to be programmed in human-like language rather than machine code. Dr Gerard Gorman, Reader in Computational Science at Imperial College, London, explains how automated code is improving access to advanced computing capabilities.
