Abstract: Some embodiments generate prompts and submit them in queries to a language model trained on code to perform automated program repair. Some embodiments fix syntactic mistakes and semantic mistakes by combining multimodal prompts, iterative querying, test-case-based selection of few-shots, and program chunking. In some cases, edit distance is minimized between an initial flawed program and the automatically created improved version of that program. The initial flawed program is obtained from a programming student, or from a source code generator.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of creating a language-agnostic computer program repair engine generator. A context-free grammar is annotated to identify token(s) that are likely to be included in or excluded from a computer program in a manner that violates the context-free grammar. A language-agnostic computer program repair engine generator is created that is configured to generate a parser. The repair engine generator is configured to create a repair engine that: converts the candidate string into repaired strings that neither violate the context-free grammar nor violate a criterion for a valid computer program; calculates differences between the candidate string and the respective repaired strings; and replaces the candidate string with a designated repaired string based at least in part on the difference between the designated repaired string and the candidate string being less than or equal to a difference threshold.
