Dear participants,
As you may already know, the evaluation phase of the Graph Neural
Networking challenge will start soon (Sep. 16). I attach a document with
detailed instructions on how to register in the evaluation platform and
prepare your submissions.
Please, try to register in the platform before the evaluation phase starts
(Sep. 16) to avoid potential issues. Also, we recommend to validate the
format of your submission files. For this, you can use a toy dataset we
provide. Please refer to the attached document for detailed instructions on
this.
We encourage all of you to participate in the evaluation. Even if you think
your solution may not be among the top ones, you may eventually be gladly
rewarded and appear in the final ranking we will publish in the challenge
website. Also, keep in mind that there are three winning positions, which
will have access to the Grand Challenge Finale of the ITU AI/ML in 5G
challenge.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any problems or questions.
Enjoy the challenge!
