aims at new programming models and abstractions that facilitate the design and development of intelligent real world applications that use machine learning and reasoning. The challenges of such a programming paradigm include: Interaction with messy, naturally
occurring data; Specifying the requirements of the application at a high abstraction level; Dealing with uncertainty in data and knowledge in various layers of the application program; Using representations that support flexible relational feature engineering
and learning rich data representations; Using representations that support flexible reasoning and structure learning; Supporting model chaining and composition; Integrating a range of learning and inference algorithms; and finally addressing the above mentioned
issues in one unified programming environment.</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;" class=""> </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; color: rgb(1, 0, 0);" class="">Conventional programming languages offer no help
to application programmers that attempt to design and develop applications that make use of real world data, and reason about it in a way that involves learning interdependent concepts from data, incorporating and composing existing models, and reasoning about
existing and trained models and their parameterization. Over the last few years, the research community has tried to address these problems from multiple perspectives, most notably various approaches based on Probabilistic programming, Logical Programming
and the integrated paradigms. The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss the current related research and the way various challenges have been addressed. We aim at motivating the need for further research toward a unified framework in this area based
on the key existing paradigms: Probabilistic Programming, Logic Programming, Probabilistic Logical Programming, First-order query languages and database management systems and deductive databases, Statistical relational learning, Deep Learning and related
languages, and connect these to the ideas of Learning Based Programming. We aim to discuss and investigate the required type of languages and representations that facilitate modeling complex learning models, deep architectures, and provide the ability to combine,
chain and perform flexible inference with existing models and by exploiting domain knowledge.</span></span></font></p>
