News

I am looking for self-motivated undergraduate and master students who are interested in Program Analysis, Automated Software Debugging and Program Transformation. Please feel free to contact me with a copy of your CV/Resume.
[Mar. 5, 2022]I am honored to be a guest editor for the special issue on "Automatic Defects Discovering and Fixing" at ChinaSoft 2022. Looking forward to your contribution.
[Oct. 2, 2021]Our paper Interactive Patch Filtering as Debugging Aid was awarded IEEE TCSE Distinguished Paper Award. Thanks for the recognition.
[Jul. 2, 2021]Our latest paper A Comprehensive Study on Learning-based PE Malware Family Classification Methods was accepted by FSE 2021 industry track. Congrats to Yixuan and Guanhong.
[Jun. 16, 2021]Our paper Interactive Patch Filtering as Debugging Aid was accepted to appear at ICSME 2021. In this paper, we propose the first interactive patch filtering approach and design an Eclipse plugin that can help developers effectively remove incorrect patches via answering a few simple questions. Congrats to Jingjing.
[Jan. 16, 2021]Our paper A Large-scale Study on API Misuses in the Wild was accepted to appear at ICST 2021. We have systematically studied the API misuses over millions of bug fixes from GitHub, and provide guidance for future research on API misuse detection.
[Dec. 31, 2020]Our survey paper Survey of Automatic Program Repair Techniques has systematically summarized the recent research on Automatic Program Repair and will be published on Journal of Software.
[Dec. 16, 2020]The paper Semi-supervised Log-based Anomaly Detection via Probabilistic Label Estimation was accepted by ICSE'21. Congrats to Lin Yang and Weijing.

Research Interest

Automated Program Repair : finding and repairing defects to make programs conform to the given specification.
Fault Localization : localizing buggy code in programs identified by some test cases in programs.
Bug Detection : detecting unknown potential bugs to improve the quality of software.
Program Transformation : focusing on API adaptation, program migration and improving the usability of general transformation techniques.

[TIPS : Here are a collection of representative papers (partial papers published before 2020) for beginners in the research fields of Fault Localuzation, Program Repair, and Program Synthesis. More learning resources about program repair are available Here.]
