FAQPage Schema

How do I create a standardized experiment folder structure for research reproducibility?▼

You can create a standardized experiment folder structure by running a template generator that produces an exp_NNN_name directory with config.yaml, report.md, outputs, and judgments folders for reproducibility.

What files should a research experiment folder layout include?▼

A standard research experiment folder layout should include a config.yaml for parameters, a report.md for findings, along with outputs and judgments directories to store results and evaluations.

Why do I need a config.yaml in my research project setup?▼

You need a config.yaml in your research project setup to enforce a consistent template across projects, ensuring all experiment parameters are standardized and easily reproducible across different teams.

Can I validate an existing experiment folder against a standard template?▼

Yes, you can validate an existing experiment folder by checking that the required layout is present, ensuring the directory contains the predefined config.yaml, report.md, outputs, and judgments directories.

What is the best way to organize research experiment outputs and judgments?▼

The best way to organize research outputs and judgments is using a standardized folder structure that separates them into dedicated directories within an exp_NNN_name folder, maintaining consistency across projects.

Does this experiment structure template work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, the experiment structure template works without external dependencies, allowing you to directly clone a project and quickly spin up new experiments with the required folder layout and files.
