Overview of code

  • Baselines: All baseline code can be found here.
  • Tasks: All baseline code can be found here.
  • Metrics: All metric-related code can be found here.
  • Experiments: Code used to run the experiments can be found here.

Setting environment variables

Here is a list of all environment variables which the Context-is-Key benchmark will access:

Variable Name Description Default Value
CIK_MODEL_STORE Folder to store model weights for the baselines. ./models
CIK_DATA_STORE Folder to store downloaded datasets. ./data
CIK_DOMINICK_STORE Folder to store the Dominick dataset for specific tasks. CIK_DATA_STORE + /dominicks
CIK_TRAFFIC_DATA_STORE Folder to store the Traffic dataset for specific tasks. CIK_DATA_STORE + /traffic_data
HF_HOME Cache location for downloading datasets from Hugging Face. CIK_DATA_STORE + /hf_cache
CIK_RESULT_CACHE Folder to store the output of baselines to avoid recomputation. ./inference_cache
CIK_METRIC_SCALING_CACHE Folder to store scaling factors for each task to avoid recomputation. ./metric_scaling_cache
CIK_METRIC_COMPUTE_VARIANCE If set, computes an estimate of the variance of the metric. Only compute metric itself by default
CIK_OPENAI_USE_AZURE If set to "True", use Azure client instead of OpenAI client for baselines using OpenAI models. False
CIK_OPENAI_API_KEY API key for accessing OpenAI models. None (Required for baseline)
CIK_OPENAI_API_VERSION API version for OpenAI models when using the Azure client. None
CIK_OPENAI_AZURE_ENDPOINT Azure endpoint for calling OpenAI models. None
CIK_LLAMA31_405B_URL API URL for the Llama-3.1-405b baseline. None (Required for baseline)
CIK_LLAMA31_405B_API_KEY API key for the Llama-3.1-405b API. None (Required for baseline)
CIK_NIXTLA_BASE_URL Azure API URL for the Nixtla TimeGEN baseline. None (Required for baseline)
CIK_NIXTLA_API_KEY Azure API key for the Nixtla TimeGEN baseline. None (Required for baseline)
