This workshop aims at bringing those together who actively work on machine learning in the context of hig h energy astroparticle physics.\n\nOn purpose\, we plan for a small worksh op which allows for longer talks\, plenty of question time\, and extended discussions over coffee and lunch break. All machine-learning methods are welcome\, be it boosted decision trees\, or any type of neural networks. W e also invite contribution on failed approaches or work in progress\, to l earn from each other’s experience. In addition to contributed talks\, we plan for invited highlight talks on recent successful applications in our field as well as machine-learning science and prevailing hardware and sof tware techniques.\n\nTo attend the workshop\, you need to register below f or either remote or in-person participation. Additionally\, you can submit an abstract for a talk here on this Indico website.\n\nRegistration is cl osed: separate website\n\nAbstract submission is closed (deadline was 30 N ov 2024): on this Indico website\n\nAbstract submission requires an indico account. When you create a new indico account please add a comment that i t is for this workshop. You need to do that well in advance. Do it already now if you plan to submit an abstract.\n\nProgram:\n\nMonday (Jan 27): \n \nEvening Reception\, 5-8pm in Courtyard by Marriott Hotel\n\npreceeded by an in-person mini workshop on Scientific Writing at 1pm in Gore Hall 103 (separate registration required\; see PDF on JZ mini workshop at the botto m of the page)\n\nTuesday - Thurday (Jan 28-30):\n\nMain workshop program in Clayton Hall (next to hotel)\; starts with breakfast at 8:30am\n\nFrida y (Jan 31):\n\nSmall breakout workshops on specific topics\, such as IceCu be in Sharp Lab (Main Campus\, 20 min walk from hotel\, or use UD bus shut tle).\n\n \n\nTalks:\n\nWe will have a number of invited and contributed talks. To allow for plenty of time for discussion\, talks should be planne d including 10 minutes of questions\, so 35+10 or 20+10. Please include in your presentations not simply the results\, but also explain how you have achieved them\, where have been problems\, and what open questions are. W e also have a short talks for students of 15-20 min duration (including 5 min for questions). As this is a hybrid workshop\, we allow for virtual an d on-site talks. Virtual talks need to be delivered live on Zoom with vide o on\, as we plan to have a separate screen showing the speaker.\n\nProcee dings:\n\nWe plan to make abstracts and materials (e.g.\, PDF of any slide s shown) available via this indico during the conference and afterwards up load them on Zenodo free of charge to make them available open access and to provide a citable DOI. By submitting your abstract\, you agree to the Z enodo terms. If you do not want to share all of the materials shown\, just upload a reduced version of the PDF instead containing only the publishab le material. There will be no written proceedings in a classical sense.\n\ nLink to Zenodo Proceedings:\n\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/ml-workshop -bartol2025\n\n \n\nLocation:\n\nUniversity of Delaware\, Newark\, DE\, U SA\n\nRegular session will take place at:\n\nClayton Hall Conference Cente r\n100 David Hollowell Drive\, Newark\, DE 19716\n\nWhich is close to the conference hotel (see below for special rates).\n\nUD Courtyard by Marriot t Hotel\n400 David Hollowell Drive\, Newark\, DE 19716\n\n \n\nTravel:\n\ nRecommended airport is Philadelphia (PHL)\, but other airports are possib le\, in particular\, if you rent a car to come to Newark DE (not Newark NJ ).\n\nFrom PHL you can take an airport shuttle\, e.g.\, with Delaware Expr ess Shuttle https://delexpress.com/reservations (or simply use Uber or Ly ft).\n\nFurther travel information is available here: http://www.udel.edu/ visitus/\n\nUD Campus Bus Shuttle: https://udshuttle.transloc.com/\n\n \n \nHotel:\n\nYou are responsible for your room reservation / cancellations. \n\nA limited number of rooms have been reserved at the Courtyard Newark- University of Delaware for $144 USD per night (+ taxes). The room has expi red. If you still need a hotel room\, please contact the conference organi zers by email.\n\nDining:\n\nThere are several options available at availa ble downtown at Main Street\, about a 20 minute walk from the hotel.\n\n  \n\nConference Fee:\n\nWe charge a small fee of 100 USD for participation on site and of 40 USD for remote participation to cover local and adminis trative cost. A link to the register through a separate website can be fo und above.\n\n \n\nCancellation Policy:\n\nWe do not provide refunds\, an d we are not responsible for any cancellation fee that may be charged by t he hotel or my occur due to any of your travel arrangements.\n\n \n\nFina ncial Support:\n\nThis workshop is kindly supported through NSF ESPCoR awa rd #2336900. Thanks to this support\, we can keep the workshop fee low\, a nd we can cover the hotel for a number of participants. In a few justified cases\, we may be able to provide some additional travel support (for nat ional travel\, only).\n\nWe are also thankful for support through the Bart ol Research Institute.\n\n \n\nContact:\n\nFeel free to reach out to the organisation committee if you have any questions.\n\nhttps://events.icecub e.wisc.edu/event/243/ IMAGE;VALUE=URI:https://events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/243/logo-3122749966. png LOCATION:Clayton Hall (University of Delaware) URL:https://events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/243/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
