Xin Yin (ๆฎท้ซ) is the third-year Ph.D. student at Zhejiang University, supervised by Prof. Chao Ni. I also obtained Bachelorโs degree at Central South University.
My research interest includes Large Language Model, Software Testing, and Software Security. I have published papers at the top international conferences such as FSE/ISSTA/ICSE/CVPR. I developed a few well-known approaches including:
- SVulD and MVulD: Vulnerability Detection
- CodeGPTSensor+: LLM-generated Code Detection
- ThinkRepair: Program Repair
- Rectifier: Code Translation
- AUGER and RATester: Unit Test Generation
In 2025, I will lead or participate in the following research topics:
- Software Testing: Unit Test Generation
- Large Language Models (LLMs): Knowledge Editing
