Research summary
AI-generated

Yiling Lou works in software engineering, focusing on how to automatically find, diagnose, and fix bugs in software, and increasingly on how large language models (LLMs) can be used for tasks like code translation, test generation, vulnerability detection, and program repair. Much of the recent work evaluates or improves LLM-based tools for software testing, debugging, and code analysis, including checking these tools for fairness and reliability. This research is aimed at making software development and quality assurance faster and more automated.
