In this paper, we propose a novel approach that combines the strengths of both FM-based fault localization and LLMs, via zero-shot learning, to enhance APR for IPAs. Our method …
Localising system faults has long been recognised as one of the most time-consuming and costly tasks in software engineering. Given a buggy system, fault localisation (FL) refers …
I am very happy to share that our paper that combines the strengths of both MaxSAT-based fault localisation and Large Language Models, via zero-shot learning, to enhance automated …
Delivering valuable and personalised feedback to students remains one of the greatest challenges in programming education, particularly in courses with large enrollments. Providing …
In this talk I will introduce a novel fault localization approach for C programs with multiple faults. CFaults leverages Model-Based Diagnosis (MBD) with multiple observations and …
