Description

I am hosting a private ML hackathon on Codabench (https://www.codabench.org/competitions/17664/) . Sometimes I have this problem:

  • I submit the model in the right .zip format
  • the training runs smoothly through the ingestion program (no logs)
  • then it stops and its status is "failed"
    I received no logs through the submission panel. The only message that I see is the "i" close to the status "failed" and it says "submission failed: bad or empty .zip file. See logs for more details"... but as I said I have no logs and the zip file is clearly not empty because it works for the ingestion phase... At the beginning I thought it was a memory issue because I was not facing this problem with some light model. However I have this problem even with models that require a peak of 6GB of RAM while running...
    Can you please help me understand what is the issue?

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named in the report. Start by reproducing the failure with the affected submission and compare the ingestion and training stages, including what appears in the submission panel. Done means the failure exposes actionable logs or an accurate error instead of only reporting a bad or empty ZIP.
