Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) DeepFix is one of the automatic bug fixing tools.
It repairs syntax errors by embedding errors into error-free programs and applying machine translation technology to learn how to generate the programs before embedding errors from the programs with the embedded errors.
However, it is difficult to repair errors other than the embedded errors, and the previous studies have shown that the fixed-rate decreases when there is a difference between the errors in the target data and the embedded errors.
Therefore, we focused on Learning-Fixes.
It learns the repairs using machine translation from buggy programs and fixed programs produced by the developers and automatically repairs bugs.
Although the previous studies of Learning-Fixes have focused on semantic errors, we considered that Learning-Fixes could be applied to syntax errors as well because it learns the repairs with sequence-to-sequence.
In this study, we evaluated the performance of Learning-Fixes on syntax errors by applying Learning-Fixes to the data used in the performance evaluation of DeepFix, which was said to have a lower fixed-rate.
As a result, typical syntax errors were repaired with a fixed-rate of 20-54 %, and the result showed that Learning-Fixes has sufficient performance for syntax errors.
Furthermore, we showed that Learning-Fixes was able to repair typographical errors, unlike DeepFix.
