The International Conference on Software Engineering and Machine Learning (CONF-SEML) is an annual conference focusing on research areas including software engineering, artificial intelligence, and other information technology areas. It aims to establish a broad and interdisciplinary platform for experts, researchers, and students worldwide to present, exchange, and discuss the latest advance and development in engineering and machine learning.This volume contains the papers of the 2023 International Conference on Software Engineering and Machine Learning (CONF-SEML 2023). Each of these papers has gained a comprehensive review by the editorial team and professional reviewers. Each paper has been examined and evaluated for its theme, structure, method, content, language, and format.CONF-SEML 2023 organized four workshops in cooperation with famous universities worldwide. Dr. Marco Manca chaired the workshop “BioDynaMo: Building the Future Today” in Bologna, Italy.
