Title: Systematic Improvement of Deep Learning Based Vulnerability Detection

Abstract: Deep learning based techniques have gained traction in software vulnerability detection. However, the performance of these techniques in data drawn from distributions other than the ones the models have been explicitly trained on has been shown to vary a lot. In this talk, I will present our study on four limitations of the current deep learning based vulnerability detectors and the datasets they use along with solutions we propose to address these limitations
