Challenge How To

Install GEval (recommended, but not obligatory)

In order to evaluate your work locally, you need the GEval tool. There are two ways to get it.

option A — just download the GEval fully static binary (simpler if you have a standard 64-bit Linux)

wget https://gonito.net/get/bin/geval
chmod u+x geval
./geval --help

option B — install GEval with Haskell Stack (needs some time and a couple of gigabytes of hard disk space)

First, install Haskell Stack:

curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh

and then install GEval itself:

git clone git://gonito.net/geval
cd geval
stack setup
stack install
~/.local/bin/geval --help

For troubleshooting, see GEval readme.

(GEval will make your life easier, but is not obligatory, so if you have any trouble with installing/running GEval, you can skip this step, for the time being.)

Get your repo

You need to have a repo at some external Git server (e.g. GitHub, GitLab or your own git server) for storing your solution.

Create a repo at your server. It should be created as empty (do **not** create any default `README.md` file).

The repo should contain retroc-en-liverpool-fc as part of its URL (preferably it should be the last part of the URL)

Make sure Gonito.net has access to your repo (e.g. by making it public).

git clone URL_TO_YOUR_REPO
cd retroc-en-liverpool-fc
git pull ssh://gitolite@gonito.net/retroc-en-liverpool-fc

Work on your solution

You need to generate your solution for the test set as test-A/out.tsv. It is also recommended to generate the output for the dev set (dev-0/out.tsv).

You can evaluate results for the dev set locally:

cd retroc-en-liverpool-fc
geval --test-name dev-0

Push your solution to the git repo

Commit and push out.tsv files to your repo. It is also recommended to push your source codes along with out.tsv files.

cd retroc-en-liverpool-fc
git checkout -b my-brilliant-branch  # switch to some other branch
git add foo.py build.sh # add your source codes
git add gonito.yaml # it's a good practice to add metadata file, see below
git add dev-0/out.tsv test-A/out.tsv # add your output files
git commit -m 'my brilliant solution'
git push origin my-brilliant-branch

Submit your solution to Gonito

Integration with external repos

If you use an external repo (e.g. at your own of Gitolite or at GitLab/GitHub), you can configure a webhook.

Manual submission

In case other methods fail, you can submit your solution manually — go to the submit form.

Submission metadata

Gonito can take the metadata (description, tags, parameters) of a submission from a number of sources (in order of precedence):

  1. the YAML files specified in the param-files field of the gonito.yaml file
    • only applicable for parameters,
    • gonito.yaml will be always skipped even if matches a mask given in the param-files field,
    • parameters blacklisted in the unwanted-params field of the gonito.yaml file will be discarded;
  2. gonito.yaml file committed to the repository
    • description given in the description field,
    • tags given in tags field,
    • parameters given in params field,
  3. names of output files (only for parameters)
    • e.g. if the output file is out-epochs=10,learning-rate=0.01.tsv, then parameters epochs=10 and learning-rare=0.01 will be extracted;
  4. submission form (when submitting manually);
  5. git commit message
    • description taken from the first paragraph
    • tags taken from a line starting with tags:

Here is an example of gonito.yaml, in which all metadata could be given (note that you can also add links to external resources using the `links` section):

description: This my brilliant solution
tags:
  - neural-network
  - left-to-right
params:
  epochs: 10
  learning-rate: 0.01
unwanted-params:
  - model-file
  - vocab-file
param-files:
  - "*.yaml"
  - config/*.yaml
links:
  - title: "Some external link"
    url: "https://example.com/foo-bar-baz-123"
  - title: "Yet another link"
    url: "https://example.org/xyz"
  - url: "https://example.net/bare-link-without-text"

It might seem a little bit complicated, but you could simply use the method which is the most convenient for you.
