Track: Quality Aspects in Machine Learning, AI and Data Analytics

ABOUT

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), especially in machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) and the underlying data engineering techniques, as well as their integration into software-based systems of all domains raises new challenges to engineering modern AI-based systems. This makes the investigation of quality aspects in machine learning, AI and data analytics an essential topic. AI-based systems are data-intensive, continuously evolving, and self-adapting, which leads to new constructive and analytical quality assurance approaches to guarantee their quality during development and operation in live environments. On the constructive side, for instance, new process models, requirements engineering approaches or continuous integration and deployment models like MLOps are needed. On the analytical side, for instance, new data, offline and online testing approaches are needed for AI-based systems.

TOPICS

In this track submissions on all topics on analytical and constructive quality aspects in machine learning, AI, and data analytics are welcome. In particular, the following topics are of interest:

  • Requirements engineering for AI-based systems

  • Analytical and constructive quality assurance for AI-based systems

  • System and software architecture of AI-based systems

  • Data management and quality for AI-based systems

  • Data, offline and online testing approaches

  • Runtime monitoring, coverage and trace analysis of data, models and code

  • Development processes and organization for machine learning, AI and data analytics

  • Non-functional quality aspects of AI-based systems

  • Quality models, standards and guidelines for developing AI-based systems

  • Empirical studies on quality aspects in machine learning, AI, and data analytics
