Abstract
As more of our society moves to and relies on computer systems, the
software that runs on these systems has become so large and complex
that traditional approaches to software security are unable to keep up
with it. On the other hand, machine learning prospers on large,
diverse data sets. I will discuss our endeavor to apply machine
learning to software security. I will show how to transform fuzz
testing from a random, ad hoc approach to a principled approach based
on machine learning techniques, and demonstrate that this principled
approach solves important problems that challenge traditional software
testing. I will also discuss how machine learning can benefit from
software engineering. I will show how to use fuzz testing to assist
code representation learning and to improve program understanding
tasks. I will discuss the challenges, opportunities, and open problems
in AI-driven software security.
