Evaluation Methodology:
We invite you to submit your answer to the following tasks:
Task 1:
Build a model that can predict which coordinates a vessel should prioritize in order to maximize the likelihood of catching the most of a specific type of fish. The prediction can be based on historical data and the size of the boat is not taken into account.
Predict a point (coordinates) where most of this type of fish is likely to be caught on that day.
- From submission day seven days into the future (26.09.2022-02.10.2022)
- Ten different types of fish (Sild, Makrell, Hyse, Sei, Uer (vanlig), Lyr, Torsk, Breiflabb, Lange, Berggylt)
- One possible location per fish per day (fangstdata files column Art FAO)

Date;type of fish; lon; lat
09022022;Sild;55;5775
09022022;Torsk;55;5775
Metrics:
Correct or not correct prediction per fish per day in context of the maximum total fish weight in the area.
Precision, Recall, F1-score, MCC (MCC will be used for the ranking)
Total number of maximum possible caught fish type per predicted location (calculated by the organisers)
Task 2 and 3 will be evaluated by an expert jury consisting of industry, fishery and academic experts.
Task 2:
Create a report of your analysis that can be read by experienced fishermen; an user-friendly visualization that a captain can read to make a assessment of where the vessel should search for fish the next day
Criteria that will be taken into account by the jury
- Presentation
- Usefulness
- Correctness
Exploratory and innovative task with not right and wrong answers per se!
Task 3:
Make a Sustainable Fishing Plan; a weekly plan that suggests the routes the fisherman should follow to optimize fish caught and fuel consumption
Criteria that will be taken into account by the jury
- Presentation
- Usefulness
- Correctness
- Fish versus fuel consumption (subjectively assessed by fisherman)
Exploratory and innovative task with not right and wrong answers per se!
To compete for the prize awards all tasks are mandatory. Submission of only one sub-task is allowed, but will not be eligible for winning any of the prizes.
