The researchers will focus on encoding program semantics into deep learning models by combining program analysis, software engineering, and deep learning expertise. Key research thrusts include: 1) learning with abstract semantics by combining static analysis algorithms with deep learning, 2) learning with concrete semantics using program execution traces, and 3) identifying and mitigating the use of spurious features by deep learning models through causal learning approaches. The research results, datasets, and tools will be disseminated to the broader research community through workshops and other channels.
