Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in critical domains such as health and wellness, criminal sentencing recommendations, commerce, transportation, human capital management, entertainment, and communication. The design of ML systems has mainly focused on developing models, algorithms, and datasets on which they are trained to demonstrate high accuracy for specific tasks such as object recognition and classification. Machine learning algorithms typically construct a model by training on a labeled training dataset and their performance is assessed based on the accuracy in predicting labels for unseen (but often similar) testing data. This is based on the assumption that the training dataset is representative of the inputs that the system will face in deployment. However, in practice there are a wide variety of unexpected accidental, as well as adversarially-crafted, perturbations on the ML inputs that might lead to violations of this assumption. Further, ML algorithms are often executed on special-purpose hardware accelerators, which may themselves be subject to faults. Thus, there is a growing concern regarding the reliability, safety, security, and accountability of machine learning systems.
The DSN Workshop on Dependable and Secure Machine Learning (DSML) is an open forum for researchers, practitioners, and regulatory experts, to present and discuss innovative ideas and practical techniques and tools for producing dependable and secure ML systems. A major goal of the workshop is to draw the attention of the research community to the problem of establishing guarantees of reliability, security, safety, and robustness for systems that incorporate increasingly complex ML models, and to the challenge of determining whether such systems can comply with requirements for safety-critical systems. A further goal is to build a research community at the intersection of machine learning and dependable and secure computing.

PALE 2018 is a follow-up of the seven previous editions of PALE (see details at history). The focus of this workshop series is put on the different and complementary perspectives in which personalization can be addressed in learning environments (e.g., informal, workplace, lifelong, mobile, contextualized, and self-regulated learning). Previous editions have shown several important issues in this field, such as behavior and embodiment of pedagogic agents, suitable support of self-regulated learning, appropriate balance between learner control and expert guidance, design of personal learning environments, contextual recommendations at various levels of the learning process, tracking and reacting to affective states of learners, harmonization of educational and technological standards, big data processing for learning purposes, predicting student outcomes, adaptive learning assessment, and evaluation of personalized learning systems. PALE workshop offers an opportunity to present and discuss a wide spectrum of issues and solutions.
From the past experience we have identified new areas of interest in this research scope to complement the previous ones.
Thus, in this workshop edition we would like to share and discuss the new trends in current research on how user modeling and associated artificial intelligent techniques are able to contextualize and manage the increasing amount of information coming from the task at hand and its surrounding environment in order to provide the personalization support in a wide range of learning environments, which are increasingly more sensitive to the learners and their context. This covers many interrelated fields such as: intelligent tutoring systems, learning management systems, personal learning environments, serious games, agent-based learning environments, and others. Furthermore, we aim to cover the demanding need of personalized learning in wider contexts ranging from daily life activities to massive open online courses (MOOCs).

Recent years have seen fast advances of the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) due to the simultaneous influence of two revolutionary forces: Big Data and Deep Learning. The aim of using large corpora has been prominent in NLP since an earlier statistical, corpus-based revolution of the 1990s. Indeed, in corpus-based NLP size does matter, and researchers have been exploring corpora as large as the entire Web; now this abundance of data has enabled the return of Neural Networks and the rise of Deep Learning. More recently, we have further seen the rise of Big Data with its 3Vs: Volume, Velocity, and Variety. Even more recently, with the spread of fake news, it has been suggested that a fourth V should be considered: Veracity.
The workshop welcomes work presenting new developments in applying NLP for solving problems related to Big Data, Deep Learning, and Veracity. We also invite discussion about the impact of these revolutionary forces on the field of NLP as a whole.
The workshop will be held during the whole second week of the 30th edition of ESSLLI (European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information) August 13 - 17, 2018.

Machine Reading for Question Answering (MRQA) has become an important testbed for evaluating how well computer systems understand human language, as well as a crucial technology for industry applications such as search engines and dialog systems. The research community has recently created a multitude of large-scale datasets over text sources such as Wikipedia (WikiReading, SQuAD, WikiHop), news and other articles (CNN/Daily Mail, NewsQA, RACE), fictional stories (MCTest, CBT, NarrativeQA), and general web sources (MS MARCO, TriviaQA, SearchQA). These new datasets have in turn inspired an even wider array of new question answering systems.
This workshop will gather researchers to address and discuss important research topics surrounding MRQA, including: -Accuracy: How can we make MRQA systems more accurate? -Interpretability: How can systems provide rationales for their predictions? -Speed and Scalability: How can systems scale to consider larger contexts, from long documents to the whole web? -Robustness: How can systems generalize to other datasets and settings beyond the training distribution? -Dataset Creation: What are effective methods for building new MRQA datasets? -Dataset Analysis: What challenges do current MRQA datasets pose? -Error Analysis: What types of questions or documents are particularly challenging for existing systems?

The face plays a key role in many real-world applications such as security systems, human computer interaction, remote monitoring of patients, video annotation, and gaming. Having detected the face, pattern recognition techniques and machine learning algorithms are applied to facial images, for example, to find the identity of a subject or analyze her/his emotional status. Though face and facial expression recognition in still images and in ideal imaging conditions have been around for many years, they have been less explored in video sequences in uncontrolled real-world videos. Given the ubiquitous presence of video cameras, face and facial expression recognition from such videos is becoming increasingly important for many applications, for instance for security surveillance, remote patient monitoring. Recognizing faces and facial expressions from real-world videos, however, remain challenging because of low video quality, illumination variation, head pose variation, and significant occlusion. Despite these challenges, video offers dynamics and motion information that is not available in still image and they can be exploited to improve the recognition. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are working on developing face and facial expression recognition systems that involve non-ideal conditions, like those that might be present in a real-world video. We welcome research papers focusing on the following (and similar) topics: -Video face recognition -Video facial expression recognition -Face and facial expression recognition from facial dynamics -Face detection and tracking from video -Multi-face clustering from video -3D face modeling from video -Applications of video face recognition -Applications of video facial expression recognition
