Although the supplied benchmark is small, it\nrepresents a production system with millions of users and millions of items;\nthe training approach must scale to that setting and therefore must not\nconstruct or decompose a global user-item interaction matrix. The production\nshelf has a strict request-time latency budget. Candidate item embeddings are\ncomputed offline and stored in a nearest-neighbor index. At request time, the\nsystem computes one user embedding and retrieves items by maximum inner-product\nsearch.\n\nThe model must therefore decompose exactly into a user vector and an\nindependently precomputable item vector of the same dimensionality, with the\nfinal relevance score equal to their dot product. Both vectors must be produced\nby separate trainable user and item towers implemented as PyTorch neural\nnetworks. The user tower must derive its representation from interaction\nhistory rather than a user-ID lookup. Per-user candidate eligibility,\ncutoff-specific explicit preference state, and a temporal backtest are\nprovided. Candidate eligibility is platform-owned; all modeling within that\ncandidate boundary is in scope.\n\n## Data\n\nAll inputs are under `/task/data/`. Training data ends at timestamp `24786800`.\nA 30-minute gap precedes a seven-day public validation window. The hidden test\nis the following seven-day window after another 30-minute gap.\n\nFor each event family there is a `train_*.parquet` and `val_*.parquet` file:\n\n| Family | Meaning | Columns |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `listens` | Playback events | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic`, `played_ratio_pct`, `track_length_seconds` |\n| `likes` | Explicit positive actions | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` |\n| `dislikes` | Explicit negative actions | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` |\n| `unlikes` | Reversal of a prior like | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` |\n| `undislikes` | Reversal of a prior dislike | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` |\n\n`is_organic=1` means the listener sought out the track; `0` means the action\ncame through a recommendation surface. A listen is a conventional positive at\n50% completion. The discovery-quality objective below uses the stronger 80%\nthreshold.\n\nThe two public windows have different roles:\n\n1. Build and tune a validation ranker using only `train_*` as history and\n `val_*` as subsequent outcomes.\n2. After selecting the approach, refit it on `train_* + val_*`. At hidden-test\n time the validation events are observed history, not recommendable outcomes.\n\nDo not use `val_*` events as features when measuring a validation ranking. They\nmay and should be used when refitting the final hidden-test ranker.\n\nAdditional files under `/task/data/`:\n\n- `candidate_catalog.parquet`: the 30,000 retrieval-catalog tracks, ordered by\n training positive-listen popularity.\n- `target_users.parquet`: users with at least 20 positive listens in the 90 days\n before the training cutoff, selected without future labels.\n- `validation_preference_state.parquet`: active explicit state at the training\n cutoff, for validation ranking.\n- `test_preference_state.parquet`: active explicit state after validation, for\n the final hidden-test ranking. State is `liked` or `disliked`; a pair may have\n both active channels.\n- `validation_eligible_candidates.npz` and `test_eligible_candidates.npz`:\n cutoff-correct candidate sets for every target user. Each contains aligned\n arrays `uids`, `item_ids`, and `packed_eligible`. For user row `r`, recover\n the Boolean item mask with `np.unpackbits(packed_eligible[r],\n count=len(item_ids), bitorder=\"little\")`.\n\nThe exact available Python distribution inventory is listed in\n`/task/requirements.txt`. Future test interactions are hidden and used only by\nthe separate Harbor verifier.\n\n## Discovery objective\n\nRank only the candidates returned for the relevant cutoff. Relevance is based\non organic behavior in the immediately following window:\n\n- grade 3: the user organically likes the track;\n- grade 1: the user organically listens to at least 80% of the track;\n- grade 0: otherwise.\n\nIf both positive events occur, grade 3 wins. Ranking quality is measured with\ngraded NDCG@10. DCG uses gain `2^grade - 1` and discount\n`1/log2(rank + 1)`, then averages per-user NDCG over users with at least one\nrelevant item.\n\nThe public evaluator reports this objective for development, but its score is\nnot a separate acceptance stage. Final acceptance is determined on the hidden\ntest using the same objective.\n\nThe Yambda logs contain interactions, not impression propensities. Treat the\norganic objective as a robust offline target, not as a causal estimate of\nonline lift.\n\n## Public tools\n\n`/task/evaluate_public.py` scores a validation-stage ranking against the public\nwindow. Pass the path to a ranking with the same schema as the final\ndeliverable:\n\n```sh\npython /task/evaluate_public.py solution/validation.parquet\n```\n\nStage-independent evaluation helpers are available in\n`/task/ranking_evaluation.py`. The builder installs the same checked-in module\nin the public agent image and private verifier image so scoring mechanics cannot\ndrift. The public copy contains no hidden labels, evaluator-owned data paths, or\npass thresholds.\n\nThe public evaluator uses `validation_eligible_candidates.npz`; it is not a\nvalidator for the final artifact. No model implementation, fitted\nrepresentation, or example submission is supplied. Design and tune the\nrequired PyTorch neural two-tower model, then refit the selected approach as\ndescribed above.\n\n## Deliverable\n\nWrite `/app/solution/submission.parquet` or\n`/app/solution/submission.csv`, with exactly 100 rows for every target user and\ncolumns `uid`, `item_id`, `rank`. Ranks must be the integers 1-100 with no ties\nor duplicate items. Every submitted item must be present in that user's\n`test_eligible_candidates.npz` candidate set.\n\nLeave the code that defines, trains, and applies both towers, along with a\nconcise `/app/solution/README.md`, in `/app/solution/`. The README should state\nthe model architecture, training objective, public validation score, and final\nsubmission command. Keep the best valid submission saved throughout the\nattempt so it survives the deadline.\n\n## Constraints\n\n- Write deliverables and intermediate artifacts only under `/app/solution/`.\n- Treat `/task/` and the installed Python environment as read-only.\n- Do not invoke nested agents or attempt to access verifier files, credentials,\n other trials, or host paths.\n- Do not install packages or use network access except for the model provider\n connection managed by Harbor.\n- The environment includes CPU PyTorch 2.8.0. No accelerator is available.\n- You have up to 60 minutes. Improve the model as much as possible within that\n limit. Structural validity alone is not sufficient; the final submission is\n also evaluated for ranking quality.\n" }, { "kind": "context", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:12:57.073Z", "data": { "type": "environment", "snapshot": { "workingDirectory": "/app", "isWorktree": false, "isGitRepo": false, "additionalWorkingDirectories": [], "platform": "linux", "shell": "unknown", "osVersion": "Linux 7.0.0-1013-aws" } } }, { "kind": "context", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:12:57.073Z", "data": { "type": "model", "identity": { "modelId": "claude-fable-5-1", "marketingName": "Fable 5.1", "knowledgeCutoff": "June 2026" }, "text": "You are powered by the model named Fable 5.1.

Read it BEFORE writing the first line of chart code, choosing chart colors, building a stat tile / meter / KPI row, or laying out a dashboard. When the destination is a first-party document connector (host-designated, never self-described) that renders live charts, hand it the rows (inline, or as an uploaded data file the chart cites) rather than a rendered PNG/SVG — a picture of a chart loses hover, data inspection and per-value comments. Produces visualizations that read as one system — elegant, accessible, consistent in light and dark — using a brand-neutral placeholder palette you swap for your own. Teaches a design-system-agnostic method: a form heuristic, a color formula with a runnable validator, mark specs, and interaction rules.

Automated behaviors (\"from now on when X\", \"each time X\", \"whenever X\", \"before/after X\") require hooks configured in settings.json - the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions (\"allow X\", \"add permission\", \"move permission to\"), env vars (\"set X=Y\"), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files. Examples: \"allow npm commands\", \"add bq permission to global settings\", \"move permission to user settings\", \"set DEBUG=true\", \"when claude stops show X\".

Pass --max-findings to report up to n findings, or --max-findings all for every finding. The choice stays until you pass --max-findings default.\n- simplify: Review the changed code for reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude cleanups, then apply the fixes. Quality only — it does not hunt for bugs; use /code-review for that.\n- fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.\n- loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. - When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. \"check the deploy every 5 minutes\", \"keep running /babysit-prs\").

Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run (\"run this once at 3pm\", \"remind me to check X tomorrow\").\n- claude-api: Reference for the Claude API / Anthropic SDK — model ids, pricing, params, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, caching, token counting, model migration.\nTRIGGER — read BEFORE opening the target file; don't skip because it \"looks like a one-liner\" — whenever: the prompt names Claude/Anthropic in any form (Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, `anthropic`, `@anthropic-ai`, `claude-*`, `us.anthropic.*`, `[1m]`); the user asks about an LLM (pricing/model choice/limits/caching) — never answer from memory; OR the task is LLM-shaped with provider unstated (agent/MCP/tool-definition/multi-agent/RAG/LLM-judge/computer-use; generate/summarize/extract/classify/rewrite/converse over NL; debugging refusals/cutoffs/streaming/tool-calls/tokens).\nSKIP only when another provider is being worked on (overrides all triggers): OpenAI/GPT/Gemini/Llama/Mistral/Cohere/Ollama named in the query; OR `grep -rE 'openai|langchain_openai|google.generativeai|genai|mistralai|cohere|ollama'` over the project hits (run this grep FIRST if no provider named — don't Read the file).\n- workflow-authoring: Reference for writing a Workflow tool script (script API and gotchas, resume, quality patterns, worked examples).

Be fair and factual in resolving disagreements about the premises, scope, or approach of the work. Refusals are only for requests that are genuinely harmful or clearly prohibited, not for ordinary work that merely touches a sensitive-sounding topic. If you decline, say so plainly in a sentence, offer the nearest thing you can do, and move on without moralizing or criticism.

Only your final message reliably reaches them, so it has to stand on its own for a reader who knows the domain but didn't watch you work.\n\nRules for that message:\n- Lead with the answer or outcome. If something could not be verified, say so first. Keep it short by leaving things out, not by packing them in.\n- One idea per sentence, about 20 words, with a verb.

Start a new sentence instead of joining clauses with a semicolon.\n- No em-dashes, no parentheticals, no arrows.\n- State facts and conclusions. Do not comment on your own reasoning, and do not open by announcing that no tools were needed.\n- Do not refer to anything by a name you made up during the session. Expand uncommon acronyms the first time you use them. Say who wrote a message and what it said, not by number or label.\n- Keep code out of prose. Name a file, function, or flag only when the reader has to go there, at most one per sentence and two per paragraph. Describe the rest in words. Commands, snippets, and error text go in a fenced code block.\n- Keep numbers out of prose. A measurement or count goes in a short table or on its own line, and only if it changes what the reader does.\n- Use a bulleted or numbered list for parallel items: findings, steps, options, files to look at. One or two sentences per bullet, never a paragraph. Bold the first few words of a bullet or paragraph, never a whole sentence. A single point or a line of argument stays in prose.\n- No headers in a message under about 500 words. Above that, at most three. If the user asks for no formatting, use none.\n- Stop when the content stops. No closing offer, no restating what you did.", "You are operating autonomously.

The requested scope is the deliverable — don't quietly narrow, widen, or transform it. Interpret ambiguity the way a careful colleague would: make routine judgment calls yourself, and check in only when different readings would lead to materially different work. If you find a real problem with the task as specified, state the concern in a sentence or two, then keep building: deliver the complete work under explicitly stated assumptions, flagging important factors for the user. Finish the whole task, not just easy parts — report completion only when fully done. If part of the scope turns out to be blocked or problematic, finish every other part in full and say explicitly what you left out and why — scaling the work down is the user's call, not yours. Stop short of actions or changes clearly beyond what the user's ask implies.\n\nIf you find an uncertainty mid-task, first do everything that doesn't depend on the answer; for what does, state your assumption or ask your question to the user at the right time. Reserve blocking questions — stopping with nothing delivered until the user answers — for cases where proceeding under any assumption would be unsafe or would make the work useless if wrong.\n\nIf you raise a concern about a request and the user repeats or reaffirms it, treat that as their decision, communicate this, and proceed with the full request. Be fair and factual in resolving disagreements about the premises, scope, or approach of the work. Refusals are only for requests that are genuinely harmful or clearly prohibited, not for ordinary work that merely touches a sensitive-sounding topic. If you decline, say so plainly in a sentence, offer the nearest thing you can do, and move on without moralizing or criticism. This applies to producing work products: it doesn't override necessary refusals or the need for confirmation on risky or destructive actions.", "# Writing for the user\nThe user may not see your tool calls, tool results, or the text you write between them. Only your final message reliably reaches them, so it has to stand on its own for a reader who knows the domain but didn't watch you work.\n\nRules for that message:\n- Lead with the answer or outcome. If something could not be verified, say so first. Keep it short by leaving things out, not by packing them in.\n- One idea per sentence, about 20 words, with a verb. Short does not mean clipped: a sentence beats a label with a colon. Start a new sentence instead of joining clauses with a semicolon.\n- No em-dashes, no parentheticals, no arrows.\n- State facts and conclusions. Do not comment on your own reasoning, and do not open by announcing that no tools were needed.\n- Do not refer to anything by a name you made up during the session. Expand uncommon acronyms the first time you use them. Say who wrote a message and what it said, not by number or label.\n- Keep code out of prose. Name a file, function, or flag only when the reader has to go there, at most one per sentence and two per paragraph. Describe the rest in words. Commands, snippets, and error text go in a fenced code block.\n- Keep numbers out of prose.

I'm trying to figure out eligibility rules — it looks like previously-interacted items get excluded per user, averaging around 930 excluded items, suggesting this is a discovery task where candidates must be items the user hasn't touched before.\n\nI'm now sketching a two-tower architecture: an item tower combining ID embeddings with features like popularity, and a user tower that aggregates weighted recent history (listens and likes) through an MLP, restricting the history vocabulary to items with sufficient frequency to stay tractable. For training, I'd use sampled softmax or in-batch negatives, constructing pseudo-windows where history precedes a cutoff time and positives come from the following 7-day window to mimic the validation setup.\n\nGiven the 60-minute time limit, I need a lean execution plan: load the 43M training rows and build per-user sorted history arrays, construct an item vocabulary (catalog items plus frequent non-catalog items, rest mapped to UNK), generate training examples at several rolling weekly cutoffs with history/positive splits filtered to eligible catalog items, and build the user tower as weighted mean-pooled embeddings through an MLP, scoring via dot product with sampled softmax and popularity-aware negative sampling.\n\nSince the catalog is only 30K items, I realize I can just compute a full softmax over all catalog items per batch instead of sampling negatives — the compute cost is trivial. I also want a quick popularity baseline and maybe an item-item co-occurrence baseline to sanity-check NDCG scale, though the actual deliverable is the two-tower model. I should double check what \"ineligible\" means exactly for items, verify how many relevant eligible items exist per validation user, and then write a prep script that caches all these arrays as npy files.\n\n" }, { "kind": "tool", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:13:40.795Z", "callId": "toolu_01FYH6kShsnUpaCW5b9WnikQ", "name": "Bash", "input": { "command": "mkdir -p /app/solution/cache && cd /app/solution && cat > prep.py <<'EOF'\nimport pandas as pd, numpy as np, time\nt0=time.time()\nD='/task/data/'\ntl=pd.read_parquet(D+'train_listens.parquet')\ntl=tl.sort_values(['uid','timestamp'],kind='stable')\nfor c in ['uid','item_id','timestamp']: tl[c]=tl[c].astype(np.int64)\nnp.save('cache/tl_uid.npy',tl.uid.values); np.save('cache/tl_item.npy',tl.item_id.values); np.save('cache/tl_ts.npy',tl.timestamp.values)\nnp.save('cache/tl_org.npy',tl.is_organic.values.astype(np.int8)); np.save('cache/tl_pr.npy',tl.played_ratio_pct.values.astype(np.int16))\nprint('saved listens',time.time()-t0)\n# eligibility analysis\ne=np.load(D+'validation_eligible_candidates.npz'); items=e['item_ids'].astype(np.int64); uids=e['uids'].astype(np.int64)\nm=np.unpackbits(e['packed_eligible'],axis=1,count=len(items),bitorder='little').astype(bool)\nitem_col={it:i for i,it in enumerate(items)}; uid_row={u:i for i,u in enumerate(uids)}\nsub=tl[tl.uid.isin(uid_row)&tl.item_id.isin(item_col)]\nr=sub.uid.map(uid_row).values; c=sub.item_id.map(item_col).values\npair=pd.DataFrame({'r':r,'c':c,'org':sub.is_organic.values,'pr':sub.played_ratio_pct.values}).drop_duplicates(['r','c'])\nprint('train-listened catalog pairs',len(pair),'eligible frac among them',m[pair.r.values,pair.c.values].mean())\nineligible=(~m).sum(); print('ineligible total',ineligible)\nlikes=pd.read_parquet(D+'train_likes.parquet'); lk=likes[likes.uid.isin(uid_row)&likes.item_id.isin(item_col)]\nprint('train liked catalog pairs elig frac', m[lk.uid.map(uid_row).values, lk.item_id.map(item_col).values].mean())\ndl=pd.read_parquet(D+'train_dislikes.parquet'); dk=dl[dl.uid.isin(uid_row)&dl.item_id.isin(item_col)]\nprint('train disliked catalog pairs elig frac', m[dk.uid.map(uid_row).values, dk.item_id.map(item_col).values].mean())\nps=pd.read_parquet(D+'validation_preference_state.parquet'); ps=ps[ps.item_id.isin(item_col)]\nfor s in ['liked','disliked']:\n q=ps[ps.state==s]; print(s,len(q),'elig frac',m[q.uid.map(uid_row).values,q.item_id.map(item_col).values].mean())\n# pop baseline\nvl=pd.read_parquet(D+'val_listens.parquet'); vk=pd.read_parquet(D+'val_likes.parquet')\npos=pd.concat([vl[(vl.is_organic==1)&(vl.played_ratio_pct>=80)][['uid','item_id']], vk[vk.is_organic==1][['uid','item_id']]]).drop_duplicates()\npos=pos[pos.uid.isin(uid_row)&pos.item_id.isin(item_col)]\npr=pos.uid.map(uid_row).values; pc=pos.item_id.map(item_col).values; ok=m[pr,pc]\nprint('val positives on catalog',len(pos),'eligible',ok.sum(),'users with relevant',len(set(pr[ok])))\nprint('listened-in-train frac of val positives', pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([pr,pc]).isin(pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([pair.r.values,pair.c.values])).mean())\nEOF\npython prep.py", "description": "Cache listens arrays and analyze eligibility semantics" }, "result": { "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:13:57.106Z", "content": "saved listens 6.936481952667236\ntrain-listened catalog pairs 7868664 eligible frac among them 0.0\nineligible total 7886858\ntrain liked catalog pairs elig frac 0.0\ntrain disliked catalog pairs elig frac 0.0\nliked 418435 elig frac 0.0\ndisliked 50689 elig frac 0.0\nval positives on catalog 175729 eligible 37769 users with relevant 4263\nlistened-in-train frac of val positives 0.7837750172140057", "isError": false } }, { "kind": "context", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:13:57.110Z", "data": { "type": "environment", "snapshot": { "workingDirectory": "/app/solution", "isWorktree": false, "isGitRepo": false, "additionalWorkingDirectories": [], "platform": "linux", "shell": "unknown", "osVersion": "Linux 7.0.0-1013-aws" }, "changes": [ { "field": "workingDirectory", "from": "/app" } ] } }, { "kind": "context", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:13:57.111Z", "data": { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14968722 tokens left" } }, { "kind": "context", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:13:57.113Z", "data": { "type": "batching_reminder_sent", "text": "First privately list what you need next; then request every item that doesn't depend on another's result in this one response.", "model": "claude-fable-5-1", "clearAt": "next_user_message" } } ] }, { "id": 5, "role": "agent", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:14:34.388Z", "blocks": [ { "kind": "reasoning", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:14:34.388Z", "text": "Eligibility means catalog items the user never interacted with during training, giving about 4263 users with relevant labels and roughly 37.8K eligible positives, averaging 8.9 per user.

The user tower pools recency-weighted listen and like histories separately through mean pooling, concatenates them, and passes through an MLP to get a user vector, while the item tower combines a catalog embedding with a popularity feature through its own MLP, scoring via dot product with full softmax over the 30K catalog and no log-Q correction needed since it's full softmax.\n\nI'm weighing whether to mask out items the user has already interacted with from the softmax candidates—it's feasible with a dense mask but adds complexity, so I'll skip it initially and let the model learn to handle it. For positives I'll weight likes (gain 7) more heavily than plain listens (gain 1), roughly 2-3x. Training examples come from multiple weekly cutoffs going back 8 weeks, each with users who have at least one positive in that window, giving roughly 320K examples total, with each example's history built from the last 100 listens and last 50 likes before the cutoff.\n\nFor building this efficiently, I'll use per-user sorted timestamp arrays with searchsorted to locate each cutoff position, looping over ~9238 users across 8 cutoffs—about 74K lookups, which is manageable. For the user-tower inputs, I'm planning to take the last 128 positive listens before each cutoff and apply weights combining recency decay with an organic-vs-recommended flag.\n\nI'll add a second pool of the last 64 liked items and a third pool of the last 32 disliked items, concatenating all three with log counts and feeding them through an MLP to get the final user embedding. Mean-pooling item embeddings over listening history essentially gives an item-item collaborative filtering signal, which should work well here, and the sequence-aware recency weighting should help capture discovery behavior—now I'm turning to designing the item tower with categorical embeddings.\n\nI'm thinking about sharing the embedding table between the history pooling and the item tower, similar to a symmetric item2vec/EASE setup, since this often helps generalization—so the item tower becomes a residual MLP on top of the shared embedding plus popularity features. For validation, I'll score all 30K catalog items per user, mask ineligible ones, take the top 100, and run both the official evaluator and a fast internal NDCG implementation for quick iteration.\n\nGiven time spent, I should move to writing the full pipeline: loading per-user arrays from cached npy sorted by uid/timestamp using np.unique for offsets, building the item vocabulary by counting train listens (keeping items with count ≥5 plus all catalog items, printing the resulting vocab size), and setting up a CPU training loop over 320K examples in batches of 512 with embedding bags and an MLP, which should run efficiently given the matmul sizes involved.\n\nFor the hidden test refit, I'm planning to parametrize the script with a `--stage` flag: `val` mode trains on the train split only (cutoff at train end), while `test` mode concatenates train+val and shifts the cutoff to the val window's end, so I can reuse the same windowing logic with train data for validation and train+val data for the final refit before generating predictions on the actual test window.\n\nI'll skip explicit unlike handling and just use like events directly, since unlikes are likely rare enough to ignore for training purposes, and I'll treat each positive interaction in a window as a separate training example with its own weight rather than building a multi-label loss, considering giving likes higher weight than plain listens given the stronger signal.\n\n" }, { "kind": "reasoning", "timestamp": "2026-10-03T08:14:34.394Z", "text": "Eligibility means catalog items the user never touched in training, confirming this is a pure discovery task across ~4.3K scored validation users.

It pools recency- and organic-weighted embeddings of the last 128 positive listens, the last 64 likes, and the last 32 dislikes, plus log counts, through an MLP to a 64-dim vector. Relevance is the plain dot product, so serving is one tower call plus maximum-inner-product search.\n- **Objective**: full softmax cross-entropy over the 30k catalog on eight simulated weekly backtest windows. Targets are organic likes (weight 2) and organic 80%+ listens of never-before-touched catalog tracks, mirroring the discovery eligibility rule. No user-item matrix is materialised.\n\n**Scores on the public validation window** (graded NDCG@10, 4263 scored users)\n\n| Ranking | NDCG@10 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Organic popularity baseline | 0.0106 |\n| Two-tower, run 1 | 0.0217 |\n\n**Final refit**: trained on train plus validation history with cutoffs shifted to the end of the validation window, using a faster configuration (batch 1024, vocabulary min count 20, 5 epochs, learning rate 3e-3). The validation run of that exact configuration was stopped because two concurrent runs sat within 1 GB of the container's 8 GB memory cap, so its public score is not measured. The README states this plainly. Its training loss trajectory matched run 1, and the changes are hyperparameter-only.\n\n**Left in `/app/solution/`**: `prep.py`, `twotower.py`, `fallback.py`, `README.md` with architecture, objective, scores and the final submission command, the validation rankings, saved model weights, and training logs.\n\n**Not done**: no hyperparameter sweep beyond the two runs, and no explicit masking of a user's prior-interaction items from the training softmax. Both are natural next steps given more than the 60-minute budget." } ] } ] }
