About Me

Introduction

I am a master’s student at the School of Software Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University. My supervisor is Prof. Yanlin Wang and thank her for her multi-faceted supports. Before going to Sun Yat-sen University, I received the B.S. degree in E-Commerce from South China University of Technology in June 2023.

My research mainly focuses on: (1) Large Language Model; (2) Code Intelligence.

Publications

RLCoder: Reinforcement Learning for Repository-Level Code Completion
ICSE 2025 PDF | Code
Yanlin Wang, Yanli Wang, Daya Guo, Jiachi Chen, Ruikai Zhang, Yuchi Ma, and Zibin Zheng
TLDR: RLCoder is a novel reinforcement learning framework, which can enable the retriever to learn to retrieve useful content for code completion without the need for labeled data, and introduces a stop signal mechanism.

AlignCoder: Aligning Retrieval with Target Intent for Repository-Level Code Completion
ASE 2025 PDF | Code
Tianyue Jiang, Yanli Wang, Yanlin Wang, Daya Guo, Ensheng Shi, Yuchi Ma, Jiachi Chen, Zibin Zheng
TLDR: AlignCoder generates multiple candidate completions to create enhanced queries that bridge the semantic gap between initial queries and target code, using reinforcement learning to train a retriever for more accurate repository-level code completion.

RepoTransBench: A Real-World Multilingual Benchmark for Repository-Level Code Translation
TSE under review PDF | Code
Yanli Wang, Yanlin Wang, Suiquan Wang, Daya Guo, Jiachi Chen, John Grundy, Xilin Liu, Yuchi Ma, Mingzhi Mao, Hongyu Zhang, Zibin Zheng
TLDR: RepoTransBench is a comprehensive repository-level code translation benchmark featuring 1,897 real-world repository samples across 13 language pairs with automatically executable test suites. Unlike previous fine-grained benchmarks that focus on snippets, functions, or files, RepoTransBench addresses real-world demands where entire repositories need translation.
