My name is Boxi Yu. I am currently a PhD candidate at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and fortunate to be advised by Prof. Pinjia He.

I am interested in both AI Robustness (e.g., developing automated tools for testing and improving the AI software, and developing new testing architectures), and AIOps/MLOps (developing and managing the distributed systems and AI systems).

May 20, 2024 Our extended abstract “DSPy Guardrails: Building Safe LLM Applications via Self-Refining Language Model Pipelines” was accepted by Compound AI Systems Workshop (June 13th, 2024 in San Francisco at Data + AI Summit).
Dec 15, 2023 Our paper “Testing Graph Database Systems via Equivalent Query Rewriting” was accepted by ICSE’2024.
Oct 11, 2023 We introduce “Retromorphic Testing,” a new, general methodology to the test oracle problem. It is a black-box technique, which constructs a dual program architecture to test the target software, inspired by the concept of inverse function. Read the paper
Sep 2, 2023 Our paper “Deep Learning or Classical Machine Learning? An Empirical Study on Log-Based Anomaly Detection” was accepted by ICSE’2024.
May 5, 2023 Our paper “Automated Testing and Improvement of Named Entity Recognition Systems” was accepted by ESEC/FSE’2023.
