• Abstract summary: There are a multitude of guidelines available on how to prepare and run a hackathon. Most of them focus on a particular format for a certain type of participants. This makes it difficult for novice organizers to decide how to run an event that fits their needs.

• Abstract: Hackathons and similar time-bounded events have become a global phenomenon. Their proliferation in various domains and their usefulness for a variety of goals has subsequently led to the emergence of different formats. While there are a multitude of guidelines available on how to prepare and run a hackathon, most of them focus on a particular format that was created for a specific purpose within a domain for a certain type of participants. This makes it difficult in particular for novice organizers to decide how to run an event that fits their needs. To address this gap we developed a planning kit that is organized around 12 key decision that organizers need to make when preparing and running a hackathon, and the tradeoffs that drive decision-making. The main planning kit is available online while this report is meant as a downloadable and citable resource.

  We propose a question-guided generation framework that models events in complex scenarios as answers to questions about participants. At any step in the generation process, the framework uses the previously generated events as context, but generates the next event as an answer to one of three questions. Our empirical evaluation shows that this question-guided generation provides better coverage of participants, diverse events within a domain, and comparable perplexities for modeling event sequences.

  This manuscript is focused on a specialized kind of planning known as Multi-agent Epistemic Planning (MEP). EP refers to an automated planning setting where the agent reasons in the space of knowledge/beliefs states and tries to find a plan to reach a desirable state from a starting one. Its general form, the MEP problem, involves multiple agents who need to reason about both the state of the world and the information flows between agents.
