Research summary
AI-generated

This bibliographic record appears to combine outputs from multiple different researchers who share the name Lin Tan, spanning software engineering (including large language models for code generation and repair) alongside unrelated biomedical, ecological, and environmental science topics. Based on the OpenAlex topics most specific to this name in Computer Science, the software engineering work focuses on software testing, debugging, and reliability, with recent attention to how AI language models perform at generating and fixing code. Because the publication list mixes disparate fields, prospective students should verify which specific body of work and institutional affiliation corresponds to the Lin Tan they are considering.
