Title: Computational Diplomacy: How "hackathons for good" feed a participatory future for multilateralism in the digital age
Authors: Thomas Maillart, Lucia Gomez, Ewa Lombard, Alexander Nolte, Francesco Pisano,
Abstract summary: This article explores the role of hackathons for good in building a community of software developers focused on addressing global SDG challenges. We propose that these events harness the neurobiological basis of human cooperation and empathy, fostering a collective sense of purpose and reducing interpersonal prejudice.

Abstract: This article explores the role of hackathons for good in building a community of software and hardware developers focused on addressing global SDG challenges. We theorise this movement as computational diplomacy: a decentralised, participatory process for digital governance that leverages collective intelligence to tackle major global issues. Analysing Devpost and GitHub data reveals that 30% of hackathons since 2010 have addressed SDG topics, employing diverse technologies to create innovative solutions. Hackathons serve as crucial kairos moments, sparking innovation bursts that drive both immediate project outcomes and long-term production. We propose that these events harness the neurobiological basis of human cooperation and empathy, fostering a collective sense of purpose and reducing interpersonal prejudice. This bottom-up approach to digital governance integrates software development, human collective intelligence, and collective action, creating a dynamic model for transformative change. By leveraging kairos moments, computational diplomacy promotes a more inclusive and effective model for digital multilateral governance of the future.

We develop a new learning paradigm named INTERN. By learning with supervisory signals from multiple sources in multiple stages, the model being trained will develop strong generalizability. In most cases, our models, adapted with only 10% of the training data in the target domain, outperform the counterparts trained with the full set of data.

Graph Neural Networks for Decentralized Controllers [171.6642679604005]
Dynamical systems comprised of autonomous agents arise in many relevant problems such as robotics, smart grids, or smart cities. Optimal centralized controllers are readily available but face limitations in terms of scalability and practical implementation. We propose a framework using graph neural networks (GNNs) to learn decentralized controllers from data.
