Primary Studies

← Back to Home

This page lists the 125 primary studies included in the survey Fuzzing AI Systems: Foundations, Techniques, and Open Challenges.

The studies were identified within the January 2015–February 2026 search window. Each study retains its stable paper identifier (PID), which is used throughout the companion website to connect venue, technique, oracle, failure, and other study-level mappings.

Note: PID values are intentionally not renumbered after exclusions. Gaps in the sequence preserve traceability to the screening and annotation datasets.
