NATURAL Natural Program Repair

Coordinator: UNIVERSITE DU LUXEMBOURG (LU)

Automatic bug fixing, i.e., the idea of having programs that fix other programs, is a long-standing dream that is increasingly embraced by the software engineering community. Indeed, despite the significant effort that humans put into reviewing code and running software test campaigns, programming mistakes slip by, with severe consequences. Fixing those mistakes automatically has recently been the focus of a number of potentially promising techniques. Proposed approaches are however recurrently criticized as being shallow (i.e., they mostly address unit test failures, which are often neither …

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €1.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2021-02-01 to 2027-01-31.
