Research Focus

My research interests span software engineering, machine learning, and program analysis. My primary research interests are:

Large Language Model of Code

Empirical Studies of Pre-trained Language Models of Code [SANER-22] [ICPC-22]
Code Representation Enhancement [SANER-22] [FSE-22] [ICSME-23]
Model Compression [ASE-22]

Software Text Analytics for Software Automation

Interconnected Software Data Prediction [ESEM-18] [ASE-16]
Representation Learning of Software Data [TSE-21]
Sentiment Analysis for Software Engineering [ICSME-20]
Biases in Bug Report Analytics [TOSEM-22]

Understand and Assist Software Practice

Code Reuse and Re-implementation [EMSE-19]
Automatic Code Review [PAKDD-19]
Automatic Answer Summarization Tool for Technical Query [ICSE-23] [ASE-22] [ESEC/FSE-19] [ASE-17]
Automatic Relevant Question Retrival Tool for Technical Query [ESEC/FSE-17] [EMSE-17] [MSR-16]

A paper repository about Large Lanugage Model for Software Engineering, https://github.com/gai4se/LLM4SE.

I am looking for multiple Ph.D./M.S./Undergraduate students and Research Interns to work with. Interested? Drop me an email (with your CV of course).
