Xin Yin (ๆฎท้ซ) is the second-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 Software Testing, Software Security, and Software Analytics. I have published papers at the top international conferences such as FSE/ISSTA/ICSE. I developed a few well-known approaches including:
- SVulD and MVulD: vulnerability detection
- ThinkRepair: program repair
- Rectifier: code translation
- AUGER: unit test generation
In 2024, I lead or participate in the following research topics:
- Software Testing: unit test generation
- Large Language Models (LLMs): knowledge editing
