Security analysis of open-source software
Several open-source projects drive modern-day IT applications. However, some open-source projects get compromised by malicious attackers, who include malware to the code to compromise the security of the application users.This project will investigate approaches for securing the open-source software.

Systematic evaluation towards the analysis of open-source supply chain on ML4SE tasks
Applying machine learning algorithms to source code related SE task is rapidly developing and attracts the attention from both researchers and industry engineers. While there are many program languages available, applying such techniques, i.e., the representation learning models, for different languages may achieve different performance. Particularly, they all have their own strict syntax, which determines the abstract syntax tree. Thus, a lot of different open-source supply chain are available, for example the parsing tools are used to build AST from …

Cybersecurity for open-source software using machine learning and AI
People are increasingly using open-source software in businesses and industries. These software programs are made by a community of developers and are managed by platforms like PyPI and npm. However, there is a worry about the safety of these programs because hackers add harmful code to compromise security and steal important data. This project explores approaches to detect harmful open-source projects using machine learning and AI.
