Abstract

On June 7th, 2022 at 10.00 am, Vincenzo Riccio Postdoctoral Researcher with the Software Institute (USI)  Lugano, will hold a seminar on "Automated Test Input Generation for Machine Learning Based Software Systems" in DEIB Seminar Room.

Machine Learning based software systems are everywhere, also in safety-critical applications. We have to carefully test them before it is too late". Many seminars, research papers and secret meetings to avoid the rise of the machines start with a similar, haunting refrain. And they are right.
In this talk, I will describe how the Software Engineering research community is producing new test inputs to assess the quality of machine learning based software systems.
