Your uploaded files must follow a structure in order for models to be successfully generated. Machine Learning tabular guidelines are not always compatible with typical engineering tabular practices.

Requirements

When uploading data to the Monolith platform, please make sure it satisfies the following requirements.
  • Each column contains only one variable.
  • Rows contain indices of experiment or sequence stamp, such as test numbers, simulation IDs, or times.
  • Because each column of the dataset is classified as a type of data such as a string or float, avoid having more than one type of data in the same column.
  • When using categorical data (that is, strings), consistency matters. The platform treats spaces and letter case as significant, so “MonolithAI”, “Monolith AI”, and “Monolith ai” are each classified as a different category.
  • Column labels occupy a single row. The platform doesn’t support nested categorization, such as grouping several columns under a shared header.

The example below is a typical format for software outputs. However, for the platform, each column must be a variable, and rows must be a sequential stamp (for example, time) or different experiments.
