🌬️ Zeph — Evaluation

This repository contains the code used to produce the results of the evalution section of the Zeph & Iris paper.

The Python notebooks provided in this repository allow you to:

• perform your own measurements from the Iris platform to reproduce the dataset used in the paper
• reproduce the analysis presented in the paper, either on your own dataset, or on the original dataset used in the paper

In addition, the source code of Zeph and Iris are available in the dioptra-io/zeph and dioptra-io/iris repositories.

🧪 Experiments

Prerequisites

1. Copy the sample configuration file config.example.json to config.json and fill-in your Iris credentials.
2. Download zeph-evaluation-dataset.tar.gz (650MB) and extract it at the root of the repository:

curl -L https://minio.iris.dioptra.io/public/zeph-evaluation-dataset.tar.gz | tar x

Notebooks

Two notebooks are provided for each section: the execution notebook which contains the code to perform the measurements, and the analysis notebook which contains the code to analyse the measurement results and generate the plots.
