Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and Port-Hamiltonian Neural Networks
Integration of Machine Learning and Port-Hamiltonian Theory
Reinforcement Learning with Energy-Based Policies
A panel of experts will evaluate all the accepted contributions.
The top three will receive a certificate and the following cash prizes:
🥇 €500 – First Place
🥈 €300 – Second Place
🥉 €100 – Third Place
📢 Winners will be announced at the end of the session.
