abstractExisting Programming-By-Example (PBE) systems often rely on simplified benchmarks that fail to capture the high structural complexity of real-world regexes, such as deeper nesting and frequent use of union operations. To overcome the resulting performance drop, we propose ReSyn, a synthesizer-agnostic divide-and-conquer framework that decomposes complex synthesis problem into manageable sub-problems. We also introduce Set2Regex, a parameter-efficient synthesizer capturing the permutation invariance of examples. Experimental results demonstrate that ReSyn significantly boosts accuracy across various synthesizers, and its combination with Set2Regex establishes a new state-of-the-art on challenging real-world benchmark. The complete source code, datasets, and pre-trained model checkpoints are publicly available at https://github.com/mrseongminkim/ReSyn.
