| 18 July 2018, Amsterdam, Netherlands |
| Collocated with ECOOP & ISSTA |

********************************************************************************

A workshop on machine learning techniques applied to programming language-related
research and development. This workshop puts an emphasis on identifying open problem
rather than presenting solution, and encourages discussion amongst the participants.
Attendance will be limited to ensure that meeting retains an interactive character.

********************************** SCOPE ***********************************

Over the last years, we have seen a rapid growth in the use of machine-learning
technologies in programming languages and systems. This growth is driven by the
need to design programming languages to analyze, detect patterns, and make sense
of Big Data, along with the increasing complexity of programming language tools,
including analyzers and compilers, and computer architectures. The scale of
complexity in available unstructured data and system tools has reached a stage
where simple heuristics and solutions are no longer feasible or do not deliver
adequate performance. At the same time, statistical and machine learning techniques
have become mainstream.

This workshop is a broad forum to bring together researchers with interests in the
intersection of programming languages and system tools with machine learning.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Program analysis + machine learning
* Programming languages + machine learning
* Compiler optimizations + machine learning
* Computer architecture + machine learning
* Probabilistic programming languages
* Design space exploration

Submissions should take the form of talk abstract or 2-page problem statements.
Materials of accepted talks will be published in ACM DL.
