Characterizing and Detecting Mismatch in ML-Enabled Systems
We propose to develop machine-readable ML-Enabled System Element Descriptors as a mechanism to enable mismatch detection and prevention in ML-enabled systems. The goal of the descriptors is to codify attributes of system elements and therefore make all assumptions explicit. The descriptors can be used by system stakeholders in a manual way, for information, awareness and evaluation activities; and by automated mismatch detectors at design time and runtime for cases in which attributes lend themselves to automation.
