README Template: Specification and Illustration of the Methods Hub Friendly README

Description

METHOD allows to do XXX.

METHOD takes XXX in XXX format as input and provides XXX in XXX format as output. Alternatively, METHOD can also be configured to XXX. METHOD works with XXX data. METHOD can use any XXX-compatible API. The output of METHOD is compatible with XXX.

METHOD placed Xth in the XXX competition on XXX. METHOD is much faster than other methods. METHOD runs quickly on standard hardware. METHOD requires a GPU.

Use Cases

• A XXX wants to do XXX. Their situation is that XXX. They use METHOD by doing XXX to do XXX, which solves their original problem because XXX.

Example publications that illustrate this use case:

• XXX.
• XXX.

Input Data

METHOD takes as input XXX in XXX format and XXX in XXX format.

Example input data XXX (excerpt of example-input-file1.json):

{json} { "key": [ "value [...]" ], "key": "value" }

• key. A list of XXX. If missing or empty, then XXX.
• key. XXX. One of XXX, XXX, or XXX. If missing, then XXX.
• key. XXX. A number between XXX and XXX. If missing, then XXX.
• key. XXX. Required.

Example input data XXX (one line of example-input-file2.ndjson, formatted for readability):

{json} { "key": [ "value [...]" ] }

• key. XXX.

Output Data

METHOD produces XXX in XXX format. The README template produces a README according to the Methods Hub friendly README specification.

Example output data (excerpt of example-output-file.csv):

{csv} header 1,header 2 value 1-1,value 1-2 value 2-1,value 2-2

Hardware Requirements

METHOD runs on a cheap virtual machine provided by cloud computing company (2 x86 CPU core, 4 GB RAM, 40GB HDD). METHOD requires a GPU (compute capability XXX, XXX GB VRAM) to run.

Environment Setup

METHOD requires at least XXX version XXX. To avoid problems with your system's Python installation, create and activate a virtual environment.

METHOD requires an XXX API key. Get one here and paste it into example-key-file.txt. METHOD requires XXX in directory XXX. Download it from here.

Then install all requirements using:

{bash} pip install -r requirements.txt

Then install METHOD in R using:

{R} install.packages("METHOD")

How to Use

To apply METHOD to the example input and generate the example output, proceed as follows:

{bash} python method.py example-input-file1.json example-input-file2.ndjson

To adapt these steps to your needs, see the online documentation of METHOD.

To adapt these steps to your needs, see the output of python method.py --help.

To adapt these steps to your needs, adapt the configuration file:

• xxx: Controls XXX. (default: "XXX")

To adapt these steps to your needs, apply the following command line parameters:

• --xxx: Controls XXX. (default: "XXX")

To adapt these steps to your needs, adapt the configuration file or apply the following command line parameters (overwriting respective settings in the configuration file):

• --xxx: Controls XXX. (default: "XXX")

Technical Details

METHOD does XXX by performing the following steps:

1. Reading. The data is read from the input file (--input-file) and converted into XXX. (see method-package/example-source-file.py)
2. Downloading data. XXX data is fetched from XXX.
3. XXX. To do XXX, the method uses XXX with XXX set to XXX (change using --xxx or setting xxx in the configuration file). (see method-package/example-source-file.py)
4. Writing. The result is written to the output file (--output-file). (see method-package/example-source-file.py)

See the publication for tested and selected models and parameters, the reasoning behind the model selection, and employed datasets for training.
