Workshop – Research on Learning about Machine Learning

Machine learning is transforming many areas of computer science. From natural language processing and search to computer music, many systems that were once made with symbolic systems are now hybrids of symbolic and statistical machinery. This shift presents new challenges and opportunities for learning about computer science, for studying learning about computing, and for collaborating with researchers from other education research disciplines. In this workshop, we will collaboratively define a research agenda for CS Education Research on the topic of machine learning. Participants will give brief presentations about the ideas in their position papers (see below), then form groups to discuss and further develop related ideas.
