These systems regularly contain bugs and security vulnerabilities. To facilitate bug fixing, data-driven models of automatic program repair use pairs of buggy and fixed code to learn transformations that fix errors in code. However, automatic repair of security vulnerabilities remains under-explored. In this work, we propose ways to improve code representations for vulnerability repair from three perspectives: input data type, data-driven models, and downstream tasks. The expected results of this work are improved code representations for automatic program repair and, specifically, fixing security vulnerabilities.}, year = {2022}, pages = {3 pages}, month = {02/2022}, publisher = {arXiv}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/2202.03055}, note = {Accepted for the ICSE {\textquoteright}22 Doctoral Symposium}, }
