Dear Jose,

 

I just want to get a clarification about the below pseudo-code. Should it be applied only when dealing with sample of the test dataset or the complete test dataset as well?

 

Regards,

 

 

Dear participants,

We found a small error in the document with the instructions for the evaluation phase. Particularly, to generate the output CSV format with your solutions you can use the following pseudo-code:

String = “”
For node_src in range (19):
    For node_dst in range (19):
        If node_src != node_dst:
            String += str(delay[node_src, node_dst])+”;”
# New sample, new line
String +=”\n”

This skips the node pairs where the source and destination match, thus resulting in 342 src-dst delay values (i.e., 19 sources x 18 destinations = 342 values).

Please find attached a new version of the instruction document fixing this error.

Also, to help you validate the format of your submission files, I attach a ZIP file with the expected format when applying a solution to our toy validation dataset (https://github.com/knowledgedefinednetworking/RouteNet-challenge/tree/master/data/sample_data/validation). Note that in this case the results correspond to a 17-node network, so we have 17x16=272 src-dst delay values per line. However, with the final test dataset we should expect 342 values per line.

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to register on our evaluation platform in advance to avoid potential problems before the evaluation phase starts (October 1st).
