- Announcements:
- CHEP 2026 abstract has been accepted as invited talk.
- Cris: Waiting to know if the conference could be hybrid. Continue to keep an eye for any announcements.
- Final speaker and authors before March 31, 2026.
- Phase I
- Current milestone for AID2E-framework was Feb 28 2026. Are we still aligned?
- AID2E-framework pull requests
- The repo has been super active for the last few weeks. Still yet to merge the 3 pulls into main. That is good. Status updates follow.
- Derek:
- Amit: I have added joblib runner in aid2e-framework (
branch_name) and initial tests with DTLZ2 tests with joblib runner.
- Wen: A pull request is in place for PanDA-Runner.
- DTLZ2 problem with PanDA runner.
- 2 examples: sequential execution and parallel execution.
- There is an issue with the Ax resolver. The stable version is 1.2.4, whereas AID2E-framework uses Ax 1.0.0. Mainly due to the fact that the
GeneratorStep and generation nodes are defined explicitly, whereas newer versions have a syntax and logic change.
- Wen: Seems to have found a solution.
