Danes come up with source code creators


A new neural network being built by a Danish startup called UIzard Technologies IVS has created an application that can transform raw Gui designs into source code that can be used to build them.

Company founder Tony Beltramelli has just published a research paper which shows how the tech uses AI to create a neural network that can generate code automatically when it’s fed with screenshots of a GUI.

Dubbed Pix2Code it outperforms many human coders because it can create code for Android, iOS and “web-based technologies”.

Pix2Code can create GUIs from screenshots with an accuracy of 77 percent, but that will improve as the algorithm learns more, the founder said.

Beltramelli has released a video clip that shows his AI-powered app in action.
