Major breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have raised strong interests from research and industry towards Machine Learning (ML), the discipline of AI that aims at building software that automatically learns from data. As a result, ML systems increasingly gain popularity and will soon proliferate in a broad range of domains. However, they also raise many questions, in particular regarding their reliable engineering. Conversely, recent advances in Software Engineering (SE) themselves rely on ML. Several software development activities can thus now benefit from AI-based assistance and we expect many more in the coming years.
This workshop aims at bringing together the SE and ML communities to reflect on the potential symbioses between their respective disciplines. As such, it targets innovative ML applications improve SE practices, as well as new engineering methods for ML-based systems.
