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}, journal = {44th International Conference on Software Engineering Companion (ICSE {\textquoteright}22 Companion), Doctoral Symposium}, pages = {275-277}, month = {05/2022}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, isbn = {978-1-4503-9223-5/22/05}, doi = {10.1145/3510454.3517063}, }
