Keynote (30m + 15m Q&A)

• 15.15 - 16.00: Keynote
  Tim Menzies, North Carolina State University (USA)

  What is the Future of Machine Learning Techniques for Software Quality?
  Recently there has been Much (?too much), focus on deep learning. DL is a useful technique but it is only one technique out of dozens of others that can be useful. So, what else should you be looking at?
