Running the Benchmarks

To create benchmarks with dataset specific parameter tuning (TYPE = 0):

• python CreateBenchmark.py 0

To create benchmarks with single parameter for all datasets (TYPE = 1):

• python CreateBenchmark.py 1

Results

• Resultant structured log files will be saved at results/TYPE directory.
