Keynote Talk #1: Intelligent Program Analysis for Automated Software Defect Detection and Fixing
Tien N. Nguyen · 2020
Detecting and fixing software defects are important in developing reliable and high-quality software systems. Software defects are so prevalent and detrimental that they cost billion dollars annually. In this talk, I will present the latest, advanced research in leveraging intelligent program analysis and combining with machine learning to automatically detect and fix software defects and vulnerabilities. I also present the challenges that the current state-of-the-art approaches in the field has been facing and the solutions in the new directions of intelligent program analysis and program representation learning. Finally, I will conclude the talk with the open challenges in the next steps in that direction.
