Instructions for the evaluation phase
by Jose Suárez-Varela 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

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!

Changes on the Github Repo
by Miquel Ferriol 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

Dear participants, We have detected an inconsistency in the DataNet API version we use for reading the datasets in the following repositories (baseline models): <https://github.com/BNN-UPC/GNNetworkingChallenge/tree/2021_Routenet_TF> <https://github.com/BNN-UPC/GNNetworkingChallenge/tree/2021_Routenet_TF> - <https://github.com/BNN-UPC/GNNetworkingChallenge/tree/2021_Routenet_TF> https://github.com/BNN-UPC/GNNetworkingChallenge/tree/2021_Routenet_TF - https://github.com/BNN-UPC/GNNetworkingChallenge/tree/2021_Routenet_iGNNiti… Particularly, this produces an error when accessing the "qosQueuesStats" features of the datasets. We have updated the two repositories, to work with the correct DataNet API version. If you are using any of these models, we recommend updating them to the new version (using the links above). Particularly, the update only affects the "read_dataset.py" and "migrate.py" files, so it would be sufficient to replace only these files.Thank you for your interest in the challenge.Kind regards, Miquel
