What is a GOLD file

GOLD files mostly belong to WEKA. When you see an GOLD file, it may refer to one of several specific data uses. These files are not tied to a single program but are often used to store verified, human-made information.

Annotation Data: These files usually hold manually provided labels or tags. They are often used in machine learning projects as a gold standard that helps check the accuracy of automated systems. For example, one use involves emotion recognition where labels are added by experts. Some projects using WEKA rely on such data.

Graph Data: In some instances, a GOLD file may store graph data in formats compatible with Graphviz. These files are linked to information from resources like the Genome OnLine Database and are used by tools such as those from GoldWave.

Review Summaries: Another type of GOLD file contains data derived from summary reviews. These files capture expectations or approved results, as seen with outputs from Goldfire Summary Assistant.

FilExt.com tips: The file is text based. Opening it with a simple text editor can show you its content, but for full functionality, using the originating software increases clarity. Identifying the file’s source helps you choose the right tool to view and work with it.

How to open a GOLD file

You need a suitable software like WEKA to open a GOLD file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your GOLD file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GOLD file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

GOLD file format:

To view or edit GOLD files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the GOLD files is as follows:

As a file extension, GOLD isn't very common and has no uniform or dominant file format. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 15% of all GOLD files use the same file format, which have the signature 500 . These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. A typical file size is 19 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as 500 0 0 15 38 9 11, 501 24 26 16 13 38 5 and 502 0 0 0 17 0 4. affectivetext_test.emotions.gold or affectivetext_test.valence.gold is a typical file name. These files are attributed to affectivetext, emotions and valence.
• 15% of all GOLD files start with the bytes 31 20, which are crucial for this file format. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The file size is in the range of 1 KB to 4 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. 1 22 2 60 0 64 0, 10 0 0 0 61 24 0 and 11 0 0 0 63 0 0. A common filename is affectivetext_trial.emotions.gold or affectivetext_trial.valence.gold. These files can be linked to trial.

All other GOLD files (70%) have no consistent format, such as CBC. They are often associated with cinque, terre, hepg, accuracy, subtask, garmin, cnndm or nuvi. Just click the "Choose your .gold file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your GOLD file is.
