I am unable to extract the BMTC.parquet.gzip file. What do I do?
We encourage the participants to refer to, and use the code template Predict.py to read BMTC.parquet.gzip. There is no need to uncompress the .parquet.gzip file into .csv, because the file size will blow up by almost ten times! At most, you may need to check if you have pyarrow installed in your system (use the command: pip install pyarrow in case it is not).
