Shao Kun Deng has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11262984
    Abstract: A code completion tool uses a neural transformer model to generate candidate sequences to complete a line of source code. The neural transformer model is trained using a conditional language modeling objective on a large unsupervised dataset that includes source code programs written in several different programming languages. The neural transformer model is used within a beam search that predicts the most likely candidate sequences for a code snippet under development.

  • Publication number: 20220058007
    Abstract: Language interoperability between source code programs not compatible with an interprocedural static code analyzer is achieved through language-independent representations of the programs. The source code programs are transformed into respective intermediate language instructions from which a language-independent control flow graph and a language-independent type environment is created. A program compatible with the interprocedural static code analyzer is generated from the language-independent control flow graph and the language-independent type environment in order to utilize the interprocedural static code analyzer to detect memory safety faults.

  • Publication number: 20210357307
    Abstract: An automated program repair tool utilizes a neural transformer model with attention to predict the contents of a bug repair in the context of source code having a bug of an identified bug type. The neural transformer model is trained on a large unsupervised corpus of source code using a span-masking denoising optimization objective, and fine-tuned on a large supervised dataset of triplets containing a bug-type annotation, software bug, and repair. The bug-type annotation is derived from an interprocedural static code analyzer. A bug type edit centroid is computed for each bug type and used in the inference decoding phase to generate the bug repair.
