*About the Competition*

Maritime transportation is one of the backbones of international trade
and supply chains. While the sector has shown growth in recent years,
maritime transportation is also facing critical challenges around
geopolitical tensions, climate change and disruptions at key
chokepoints, e.g. the Panama and the Suez Canals. Shipping companies are
investigating digital solutions, including digital twin and multi-agent
technologies, to improve fleet utilisation, e.g. via transportation
scheduling, to reduce costs but also greenhouse gas emissions. Many of
these digital solutions are in their infancy and could benefit from
innovative applications of approaches from multiagent system, artificial
intelligence, scheduling, auction bidding and related technologies.

The competition will require to develop a software agent in Python that
operates the trade auctions and fleet transmutation scheduling for a
maritime shipping company. Participating will allow you to compete for
prizes.

We will run a warm-up competition to get early feedback and a final
competition with results being presented at AAMAS.

The field is also raising a number of relevant questions about robustness of the algorithms, explainability, transparency, interpretability, as well as important ethical concerns at the frontier of current knowledge that deserve careful multidisciplinary discussion.

Most deep learning subareas will be displayed, and main challenges identified through 18 four-hour and a half courses, 2 keynote lectures, 1 round table and a hackathon competition among participants. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Face to face interaction and networking will be main ingredients of the event. It will be also possible to fully participate in vivo remotely.

DeepLearn 2025 will place special emphasis on large language models, foundation models and generative artificial intelligence.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more advanced in their career will be welcome as well.

Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses.

Overall, DeepLearn 2025 is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
