Describe the data being stored onto Filecoin

The THUMOS Challenge, which focuses on video action recognition and temporal action localization, was organized primarily by a group of researchers from Stanford University and other collaborating academic institutions. The challenge aimed to advance research in video understanding, specifically for recognizing and localizing actions within video segments. The challenge was held several times, with each iteration of the challenge hosted as part of larger computer vision and machine learning conferences. These datasets are videos used for the challenge.

Could you list the technical solutions in detail? Could you list the names of your cooperating sps, geographical locations and companies? Are you sure you can support Spark?

[TOPPOOL-LEE]

As a school, do they really have so much data? How can we know much data they have?

[TOPPOOL-LEE]

You listed 6 sps, but wrote 4 backups, each backup is 2P, but the total DC are 10P. Please modify it to a reasonable number.

1. We have a stack of home made scripts to automate the downloading and processing steps, including file splitting or merging, and to fire boost deals in batches.

2. SP list: f01422327, Japan f02252024, Japan f02252023, Japan f01111110, Vietnam f01909705, Vietnam f03232064, Malaysia f03232134, Malaysia

3. Yes, we assure that all SPs will support SPARK retrieval and will keep monitoring on this.

4. Actually, we are data preparers and the source of the data is an entity focusing on video action recognition and temporal action localization. Due to this, they are producing giant amout of data everyday.

5. The reason is that though we have 6 SPs now, they may have different sealing patterns, so 4 replica is a safe number to claim. And we asked for 2 more PiB of Datacap just to be safe. We can change to 8 PiB if you prefer.

Please explain the duplicate data, thanks.

[andy198811]

Hi, thank you for your question.

I think the problem of duplicate data is a problem with the data source of the bot. For example, the check shows that SP-f03232064 sealed about 30% of duplicated deals. However, it also says the unique data onboarded by f03232064 is 50TiB. The fact is that the total amount of deal sent to f03232064 is 50 TiB, which clearly indicates that there is inconsistency in bot's data. I think the bot team is working on this issue.

Thanks again and hope you can support another round. We will work on everything we can with the SPs to ensure public retrievability.

We are very happy to see that the retrieval rate of f01909705 has increased from 0 to 5%, but this is not enough, and we hope to see more progress.

Also, I'd like to know why the bot is showing a large amount of duplicate data being stored.

[andy198811]

Thank you for your close attention! We have been working very hard with the SPs to improve the retrieval on SPARK. And we have made a lot of progress, though it takes time to show the effect on SPARK.

Actually, as a client, we did extensive retrieval tests on the deals we sent to the SPs, and almost all of them were successfully retrieved.

So hope you can support another round soon since the SPs are waiting to seal and it costs them a lot of money to maintain the sealing workers on.

[andy198811]

For the duplicate data, it has been confirmed that it is caused by some mistakes on the official bot, which I think they are still working to fix. Expect to see those warnings gone when they fix it. Thanks!

f02252024 does not support spark, can you explain it?

[andy198811]

Hi, we have also noticed some issue with this SP.

Actually, we have had extensive investigation with the operator of this SP, and have also consulted with the SPARK team, as shown in the snapshot below. It's assureed that the SP stores unsealed copy and FULLY support lassie and boost retrieval. But somehow, the SPARK refuses to check on this SP. We are now in a debugging process with the SP and SPARK team.

Meanwhile, we are reaching out to more SP's who has no problem with retrieval and we will reduce/stop firing deals to this SP until they solve this problem. Please support with another round, since our other collaborating SP's are waiting to seal and it costs them a lot of cash to do so. Thank you very much.
