November 2, 2018 Our paper A Grammar-Based Structural CNN Decoder for Code Generation was accepted at AAAI'19. This paper proposes a novel CNN neural structure for code generation and can be used to instantiate the framework of learning to synthesize.
August 1, 2018 I have been promoted to Associated Professor (with tenure). Thanks for all people who helped in this process.
June 5, 2018 Automatic Clone Recommendation for Refactoring Based on the Present and the Past was accepted at ICSME'18.
May 25, 2018 Two papers were accepted at ISSTA'18. Shaping Program Repair Space with Existing Patches and Similar Code reports our newest attempt to increase the recall of program repair after our previous attempts (ICSE18a, ICSE17a) to increase the precision. An Empirical Study on TensorFlow Program Bugs is our first step to understand and support testing and debugging in deeping learning applications.
March 15, 2018 Learning to Synthesize was accepted at GI'18. This paper proposes a framework for synthesizing a program that has a high probability in a given context.
