Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

Centrality Delta Range Check

Ensures calculated deltas fall within [-1.0, 1.0].

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

Graph Metric Mean Absolute Error

MAE between computed centrality changes and expected network values. • target: 0.01 • range: 0-0.5

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Construct multimodal graph agents using Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).

  • Deploy custom low-latency inference functions on Baseten platform.

  • Analyze network topology changes (betweenness centrality, degree centrality) induced by missense mutations.

  • Generate interactome perturbation summary matrices.
