Data-to-Model Workflow

This repository will serve as a template for the CWL workflow and tools required to set up a data-to-model challenge infrastructure.

For more information about the tools, refer to ChallengeWorkflowTemplates.

Workflow Steps

Step	Description
`download_submission`	Downloads the predictions file.
`download_goldstandard`	Downloads the goldstandard file.
`validate`	Validates the predictions file.
`email_validation`	Sends an email notification to the partipant/team of the validation results. By default, an email will only be sent if there are errors.
`annotate_validation_with_output`	Updates the submission status (`VALIDATED` if valid, else `INVALID`).
`check_status`	Checks the submission status. If the status is `INVALID`, halt the workflow.
`score`	Scores the predictions file.
`email_score`	Sends an email notification to the participant/team of the scoring results. By default, all scores are sent.
`annotate_submission_with_output`	Updates the submission status (`SCORED` if successful, else `INVALID`)

Usage

Requirements

pip3 install cwltool
A Synapse account/configuration file. Learn more here
A Synapse Submission object ID. Learn more here

Configurations

workflow.cwl

Step	Description	Required?	Example
`download_goldstandard`	Update `synapseid` to the Synapse ID of the challenge's goldstandard	Yes	`valueFrom: "syn12345678"`
`email_validation`	Set `errors_only` to `false` if an email notification about a valid submission should also be sent	No	`default: false`
`email_score`	Add metrics and scores to `private_annotations` if they are to be withheld from the participants	No	`default: [primary_metric, primary_metric_value]`

validate.cwl

Line	Description	Required?	Example
`dockerPull: python:3.8.8-slim-buster`	Update the base image if the validation code is not Python	If code is not Python, yes	`dockerPull: rocker/r-base:4.0.4`
`entry: \| [validation code]`	Remove the sample validation code and replace with validation code for the Challenge	Yes	--

NOTE: expected annotations to write out are submission_status and submission_errors.

score.cwl

Line	Description	Required?	Example
`dockerPull: python:3.8.8-slim-buster`	Update the base image if the validation code is not Python	If code is not Python, yes	`dockerPull: rocker/r-base:4.0.4`
`entry: \| [scoring code]`	Remove the sample scoring code and replace with scoring code for the Challenge	Yes	--

NOTE: expected annotations to write out are primary_metric, primary_metric_value, and submission_status. If there is a secondary (tie-breaking) metric, include the secondary_metric and secondary_metric_value annotations as well.

Example Run

cwltool workflow.cwl --submissionId 12345 \
                     --adminUploadSynId syn123 \
                     --submitterUploadSynId syn456 \
                     --workflowSynapseId syn789 \
                     --synaspeConfig ~/.synapseConfig
