@brianbrost

@yassphi You are correct. For a session of length 20, you would need to evaluate your predictions on the last 10 tracks. T would be 10. P(i) is the precision at position i of your predictions, so if at position 5, you had 2 correct predictions, P(5) = 2/5. L(i) indicates if your i'th prediction was correct, so if your prediction at position 5 was correct, L(5) = 1, and otherwise, L(5) = 0. It may be helpful to look at the local evaluation file in the starter kit: https://github.com/crowdAI/skip-prediction-challenge-starter-kit/blob/master/local_evaluation.ipynb. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_measures_(information_retrieval)#Average_precision.

Hope this helps!

@yassphi

@brianbrost Thank you Brian, so if i understand, i will do a classifcation on all tracks but the evaluation are on the last 10 right ?

brianbrost

@brianbrost

@yassphi No, for the test set the first half of the interactions in a session

Are already given with the labelled ground truth, which you can use to inform your predictions for the second half.

So you'll only be making the predictions for the last 10 tracks in a session of length 20

hello, i have an issue during downloading. the 56G-large trainset seems not supporting broken-point continuing transferring. i tried downloading it twice and i could only extract part of the compressed files. how could i resovle this....looking for help

SP Mohanty

@spMohanty

@newtiopon : we understand. We are considering alternate options to deliver the data, and hopefully will send out official communication about the possible alternate approaches

Whats the bandwidth of your internet connection ?

newtiopon

@newtiopon

100M/s, fyi

brianbrost

@brianbrost

@newtiopon in the meantime there are some suggestions on the discussion board (https://www.crowdai.org/topics/56g-is-the-training-set/discussion) which might help.

@newtiopon

thanks Brian. i have question about the relation between train_set filename and the "date" field. if i understand, the date field refers to the date the session happens. But something confusing is that file 'log_0_20180726_000000000000.csv ' contains sessions whose date field vary from 2012 to 2018. So my questions are 1) what does the datestamp in file name refers to? 2)if the datestamp in filename means something, how does sessions from different dates assigned to this file? looking for further clarification

brianbrost

@brianbrost

@newtiopon, there are some occasional logging errors that can occur for a number of reasons, causing a mismatch between the date in the file name and the date when the session occurred according to the field. These mismatches should be relatively rare, and it's up to you exactly how you handle them.

@hjh1011

Are we able to extract artists and album info through the web api for all 3M tracks?

@brianbrost

brianbrost

@brianbrost

Hi @hjh1011, this would have been very interesting, unfortunately this is no longer allowed since we were required to remove the link between our internal track id's for the dataset and the actual track id's.

hjh1011

@hjh1011

@brianbrost I just realized that the data was updated on 20 Nov and artists and album and some other information were removed from the track features. I just wonder for people who has download the data before that, they would have those columns, right? If that is the case, how is this a fair contests???

brianbrost

@brianbrost

@hjh1011 As noted on the discussion board, participants will be required to open source their code, so we will be able to see if participants have used those features.

RStudent

@rstudent_gitlab

@brianbrost , @spMohanty any one else, please, I could use some help here. Very late entrant to the contest, still want to give it a sincere try. having trouble downloading the train set file. Even with the splits. I keep getting the "gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated" error on doing tar -xzf. please, if anyone else had similar issues and resolved them, i could use some help here. please note that i am able to successfully download and extract the test set. i am on ubuntu 18.04. thanks a lot in anticipation.

SP Mohanty

@spMohanty

@brianbrost : Can you upload md5sums of all the files, so that participants can atleast verify that the file they downloaded was not corrupted in any sense during tramsmission ?

RStudent

@rstudent_gitlab

@spMohanty : Thanks a lot for the response. For reference, this is what i get for the file throwing an error. ~/workspace/music/train$ md5sum 20181113_training_set.tar.gz
1dd55ea738937c5a3c23f6d18eb9804c 20181113_training_set.tar.gz

and the size as expected is 56G

SP Mohanty

@spMohanty

well for me the md5sum is this :

f0b818a7cffd355d6ddeb368d2b244c0  20181113_training_set.tar.gz

so something seems off definitely

are you sure the download completed in a clean way ?

brianbrost

@brianbrost

hi @rstudent_gitlab, I'll be home in about 10 minutes and I'll verify the md5sum, but have you tried downloading the split version of the training set? See the Training_Set_Split_Download.txt file in the Dataset tab. It contains links to download the training set split into 10 files, making it easier to download

brianbrost

@brianbrost

ah sorry just saw that you tried the split version as well

@rstudent_gitlab, do you get the exact same error message for the split version of the training set?

brianbrost

@brianbrost

For what it's worth, here's the md5sums I get:

f0b818a7cffd355d6ddeb368d2b244c0 20181113_training_set.tar.gz

will list the ones for the split version of the training set when I finish re-downloading it

@rstudent_gitlab please let me know if your checksums are different, and if you can extract any of the split files?

RStudent

@rstudent_gitlab

I know i am being a bother. Could someone else please who has downloaded the file successfully confirm the md5sum please. At least i will know the corruption error is valid

brianbrost

@brianbrost

I just downloaded those from the competition website, so the md5sums are the ones I would expect anyone else to get too. Are some of your checksums different, or are all of them different?

@rstudent_gitlab

RStudent

@rstudent_gitlab

Thank you so much for helping me out on this @brianbrost , @spMohanty . Well my md5sums are different for the main and the splits. For example for ~/workspace/music/train$ md5sum training_set_1.tar.gz
9bdea6a8c4a9e47b47bace227bad252f training_set_1.tar.gz

md5sum training_set_9.tar.gz
b1b4393806a9d90711e619bfd08dd2f7 training_set_9.tar.gz

So far i have tried , on click download, wget, CurL, no luck so far. Could you please give me actual size of these files. I will try clean downloads again and will monitor them. Maybe this time I will get them to work :) Thanks a lot for looking into it

brianbrost

@brianbrost

@rstudent_gitlab

with ls -l, I get the following sizes:

Hope you manage to figure out the problem, and let me know if there's any other way I can help. Unfortunately I don't have any useful suggestions, except to try to re-download, which I guess is what you're trying right now. Please let us know if you sort out the problem!
