ISE Goals Many researchers utilize AI techniques. However, AI techniques, including deep learning techniques and LLMs, have probabilistic characteristics, so it is difficult to verify and validate AI-based software systems. In this regard, this workshop aims to discuss intelligent methods for verifying AI techniques in various aspects. This workshop encourages researchers to present interesting ideas and demonstrations in various aspects of safety, security, explainability, and fairness, as well as in domains such as autonomous flights and autonomous driving. Researchers can discuss how th ...
