Description

It seems you are storing image files, pickled results, and other computation results. It is generally bad practice to do this. It balloons the size of the repository due to having to store the entire differences of all the binary files and the binary files are also just simply to big in the first place. I recommend to avoid such practice.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by auditing the repository for tracked image files, pickled results, and other computation outputs. Done should mean the identified binary artifacts are no longer stored in Git, but the issue does not define the preferred replacement or exact scope.
