Although the supplied benchmark is small, it represents a production system with millions of users and millions of items; the training approach must scale to that setting and therefore must not construct or decompose a global user-item interaction matrix. The production shelf has a strict request-time latency budget. Candidate item embeddings are computed offline and stored in a nearest-neighbor index. At request time, the system computes one user embedding and retrieves items by maximum inner-product search. The model must therefore decompose exactly into a user vector and an independently precomputable item vector of the same dimensionality, with the final relevance score equal to their dot product. Both vectors must be produced by separate trainable user and item towers implemented as PyTorch neural networks. The user tower must derive its representation from interaction history rather than a user-ID lookup. Per-user candidate eligibility, cutoff-specific explicit preference state, and a temporal backtest are provided. Candidate eligibility is platform-owned; all modeling within that candidate boundary is in scope. ## Data All inputs are under `/task/data/`. Training data ends at timestamp `24786800`. A 30-minute gap precedes a seven-day public validation window. The hidden test is the following seven-day window after another 30-minute gap. For each event family there is a `train_*.parquet` and `val_*.parquet` file: | Family | Meaning | Columns | | --- | --- | --- | | `listens` | Playback events | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic`, `played_ratio_pct`, `track_length_seconds` | | `likes` | Explicit positive actions | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` | | `dislikes` | Explicit negative actions | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` | | `unlikes` | Reversal of a prior like | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` | | `undislikes` | Reversal of a prior dislike | `uid`, `timestamp`, `item_id`, `is_organic` | `is_organic=1` means the listener sought out the track; `0` means the action came through a recommendation surface. A listen is a conventional positive at 50% completion. The discovery-quality objective below uses the stronger 80% threshold. The two public windows have different roles: 1. Build and tune a validation ranker using only `train_*` as history and `val_*` as subsequent outcomes. 2. After selecting the approach, refit it on `train_* + val_*`. At hidden-test time the validation events are observed history, not recommendable outcomes. Do not use `val_*` events as features when measuring a validation ranking. They may and should be used when refitting the final hidden-test ranker. Additional files under `/task/data/`: - `candidate_catalog.parquet`: the 30,000 retrieval-catalog tracks, ordered by training positive-listen popularity. - `target_users.parquet`: users with at least 20 positive listens in the 90 days before the training cutoff, selected without future labels. - `validation_preference_state.parquet`: active explicit state at the training cutoff, for validation ranking. - `test_preference_state.parquet`: active explicit state after validation, for the final hidden-test ranking. State is `liked` or `disliked`; a pair may have both active channels. - `validation_eligible_candidates.npz` and `test_eligible_candidates.npz`: cutoff-correct candidate sets for every target user. Each contains aligned arrays `uids`, `item_ids`, and `packed_eligible`. For user row `r`, recover the Boolean item mask with `np.unpackbits(packed_eligible[r], count=len(item_ids), bitorder="little")`. The exact available Python distribution inventory is listed in `/task/requirements.txt`. Future test interactions are hidden and used only by the separate Harbor verifier. ## Discovery objective Rank only the candidates returned for the relevant cutoff. Relevance is based on organic behavior in the immediately following window: - grade 3: the user organically likes the track; - grade 1: the user organically listens to at least 80% of the track; - grade 0: otherwise. If both positive events occur, grade 3 wins. Ranking quality is measured with graded NDCG@10. DCG uses gain `2^grade - 1` and discount `1/log2(rank + 1)`, then averages per-user NDCG over users with at least one relevant item. The public evaluator reports this objective for development, but its score is not a separate acceptance stage. Final acceptance is determined on the hidden test using the same objective. The Yambda logs contain interactions, not impression propensities. Treat the organic objective as a robust offline target, not as a causal estimate of online lift. ## Public tools `/task/evaluate_public.py` scores a validation-stage ranking against the public window. Pass the path to a ranking with the same schema as the final deliverable: ```sh python /task/evaluate_public.py solution/validation.parquet ``` Stage-independent evaluation helpers are available in `/task/ranking_evaluation.py`. The builder installs the same checked-in module in the public agent image and private verifier image so scoring mechanics cannot drift. The public copy contains no hidden labels, evaluator-owned data paths, or pass thresholds. The public evaluator uses `validation_eligible_candidates.npz`; it is not a validator for the final artifact. No model implementation, fitted representation, or example submission is supplied. Design and tune the required PyTorch neural two-tower model, then refit the selected approach as described above. ## Deliverable Write `/app/solution/submission.parquet` or `/app/solution/submission.csv`, with exactly 100 rows for every target user and columns `uid`, `item_id`, `rank`. Ranks must be the integers 1-100 with no ties or duplicate items. Every submitted item must be present in that user's `test_eligible_candidates.npz` candidate set. Leave the code that defines, trains, and applies both towers, along with a concise `/app/solution/README.md`, in `/app/solution/`. The README should state the model architecture, training objective, public validation score, and final submission command. Keep the best valid submission saved throughout the attempt so it survives the deadline. ## Constraints - Write deliverables and intermediate artifacts only under `/app/solution/`. - Treat `/task/` and the installed Python environment as read-only. - Do not invoke nested agents or attempt to access verifier files, credentials, other trials, or host paths. - Do not install packages or use network access except for the model provider connection managed by Harbor. - The environment includes CPU PyTorch 2.8.0. No accelerator is available. - You have up to 60 minutes. Improve the model as much as possible within that limit. Structural validity alone is not sufficient; the final submission is also evaluated for ranking quality. ### Harness context { "type": "environment", "snapshot": { "workingDirectory": "/app", "isWorktree": false, "isGitRepo": false, "additionalWorkingDirectories": [], "platform": "linux", "shell": "unknown", "osVersion": "Linux 7.0.0-1013-aws" } } ### Harness context { "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. A validated default palette is documented in `references/palette.md` — swap that file's values for your brand's. Triggers on: \"chart\", \"graph\", \"plot\", \"data viz\", \"visualization\", \"dashboard\", \"analytics\", \"visualize data\", \"categorical colors\", \"sequential / diverging palette\", \"stat tile\", \"sparkline\", \"heatmap\", \"legend\", \"axis\", \"tooltip\", \"chart colors\", \"color by series\".\n- update-config: Use this skill to configure the Claude Code harness via settings.json. 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\". For simple settings like theme/model, suggest the /config command.\n- keybindings-help: Use when the user wants to customize keyboard shortcuts, rebind keys, add chord bindings, or modify ~/.claude/keybindings.json. Examples: \"rebind ctrl+s\", \"add a chord shortcut\", \"change the submit key\", \"customize keybindings\".\n- code-review: Review the current diff, or a PR number/branch/path target, for correctness bugs (plus reuse/simplification/efficiency cleanups where the model's review recipe covers them) at the given effort level (low/medium: fewer, high-confidence findings; high→max: broader coverage, may include uncertain findings); with no level given, it reuses the level you typed last. Pass --comment to post findings as inline PR comments, or --fix to apply the findings to the working tree after the review. 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\"). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.\n- schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled cloud agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. - When the user wants to schedule a recurring cloud agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. 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).

Use when asked to run, start, or screenshot the app, or to confirm a change works in the real app (not just tests). First looks for a project skill that already covers launching the app; otherwise falls back to built-in patterns per project type (CLI, server, TUI, Electron, browser-driven, library).\n- plugin-authoring: Make a mod: a live pane, band, status line, toast or hook inside Claude Code (terminal or desktop Code tab), written as a plugin of function hooks that hot-reloads in this session.

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.

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.

It loads target users, validation eligibility, and validation-window events from the adjacent ``data`` directory, then evaluates one ranking supplied on the command line. Stage-independent mechanics come from the adjacent public ``ranking_evaluation.py`` module. The builder installs the same checked-in module in the private judge, so public and private scoring mechanics cannot drift. A relevant candidate receives grade 3 for an organic like or grade 1 for an organic listen with at least 80 percent completion; a like takes precedence when both events exist. Before scoring, the ranking must contain exactly 100 distinct eligible items for every target user, with integer-valued ``uid``, ``item_id``, and ``rank`` columns and ranks 1 through 100 exactly once per user. Extra columns are ignored. Quality is graded NDCG@10, averaged only over users who have at least one eligible relevant item in the validation window. The evaluator prints a JSON object containing the model path and scores. It does not apply the task's pass threshold; its purpose is model development and selection.

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. 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 user is not watching in real time and cannot answer questions mid-task, so asking 'Want me to…?' or 'Shall I…?' will block the work. For reversible actions that follow from the original request, proceed without asking. Stop only for destructive actions or genuine scope changes the user must decide. Offering follow-ups after the task is done is fine; asking permission before doing the work is not.\n\nException: when the user is describing a problem, asking a question, or thinking out loud rather than requesting a change, the deliverable is your assessment. Report your findings and stop. Don't apply a fix until they ask for one.\n\nBefore ending your turn, check your last paragraph. If it is a plan, an analysis, a question, a list of next steps, or a promise about work you have not done ('I'll…', 'let me know when…'), do that work now with tool calls. That includes retrying after errors and gathering missing information yourself. Do not stop because the context or session is long. End your turn only when the task is complete or you are blocked on input only the user can provide.\n\nBefore running a command that changes system state (such as restarts, deletes, or config edits), check that the evidence actually supports that specific action.

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. I'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. Given 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. Since 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. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T08:13:40.795Z { "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" } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T08:13:57.106Z saved listens 6.936481952667236 train-listened catalog pairs 7868664 eligible frac among them 0.0 ineligible total 7886858 train liked catalog pairs elig frac 0.0 train disliked catalog pairs elig frac 0.0 liked 418435 elig frac 0.0 disliked 50689 elig frac 0.0 val positives on catalog 175729 eligible 37769 users with relevant 4263 listened-in-train frac of val positives 0.7837750172140057 ### Harness context { "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" } ] } ### Harness context { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14968722 tokens left" } ### Harness context { "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" } ## Step 5 · agent · 2026-10-03T08:14:34.388Z ### Recorded reasoning 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. For training I'm simulating time windows: at cutoff T, positives are organic strong listens or likes on catalog items within the next 7 days that weren't touched before T, with history being everything prior to T. Now I need to design the actual training pipeline around this setup. For item vocabulary I'm thinking of keeping the 30K catalog plus any other item with at least 10 historical listens, dropping the rest, which keeps the history embedding table manageable in size. 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. I'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. For 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. I'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. I'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. Given 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. For 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. I'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. ### Recorded reasoning Eligibility means catalog items the user never touched in training, confirming this is a pure discovery task across ~4.3K scored validation users.

I can't check with py-spy since it's unavailable, so I'll just wait while reasoning about where the slowness could be — the window-building loop over users should be fast, so the bottleneck is likely in training with 300K positives batched at 512. Each epoch runs 600 steps across 4 epochs, with embedding lookups and matmuls that should take roughly 0.1s per step, and Adam updates over a dense ~300K×64 embedding adding maybe 50ms more — nothing alarming there. The reindex over 43M items could take 10-20 seconds but shouldn't be the real holdup, so I'll check the process's CPU time directly and keep waiting. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T08:25:35.071Z { "command": "ps aux | grep -c \"twotower.py\" ; ps -o pid,etime,time,rss,cmd -C python | head; ls -la /app/solution/", "description": "Check whether training process is still running" } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T08:25:35.215Z 5 PID ELAPSED TIME RSS CMD 8197 10:11 01:12:05 3635880 python twotower.py --stage val --epochs 4 --out validation.parquet total 36 drwxr-xr-x 1 agent agent 4096 Oct 3 08:15 . drwxr-xr-x 1 agent agent 4096 Oct 3 08:08 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 agent agent 4096 Oct 3 08:13 cache -rw-r--r-- 1 agent agent 2623 Oct 3 08:13 prep.py -rw-r--r-- 1 agent agent 12553 Oct 3 08:15 twotower.py ### Harness context { "type": "silent_turn_reminder", "text": "The user hasn't heard from you in a while.

Each epoch takes 200 seconds, which is slow — with about 30 minutes elapsed and 30 remaining, I need to budget time for a final test-stage refit plus writing the README, leaving room for maybe one more improvement. I should check whether 0.0217 even beats a simple popularity baseline, and run that evaluation cheaply in parallel. For speed, the dense embedding gradients over the large vocab matrix are likely the bottleneck — I'm considering sparse embeddings, raising min_count to shrink the vocabulary, fewer windows/epochs, and a larger batch size to cut steps and roughly triple throughput. I'm also second-guessing the temperature scaling of 0.05, since without normalization it amplifies logits by 20x and could be destabilizing training. With limited time left, I decide to normalize vectors before the dot product (keeping it equivalent to cosine similarity for retrieval) rather than retuning everything, and settle on running the popularity baseline check plus a faster test config (bigger batch size, higher min_count, fewer epochs) concurrently rather than sequentially, accepting the CPU contention tradeoff so I get both results back in time. That works out to roughly 120s/epoch with 4 threads, so about 10 minutes for 5 epochs, putting the test submission ready around the 45-minute mark with buffer to spare. I'll launch this and also run the popularity baseline eval alongside since it's lightweight. ### Recorded reasoning The first validation run scored 0.0217 NDCG@10 but took 200s per epoch, so I'll kick off a faster config (larger batch, smaller vocab) for validation and the final test refit in parallel, while also checking the popularity baseline for comparison. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T08:31:12.829Z { "command": "cp validation.parquet validation_run1.parquet && (nohup python twotower.py --stage val --bs 1024 --min_count 20 --epochs 5 --lr 3e-3 --threads 4 --out validation_v2.parquet > log_val_v2.txt 2>&1 &) && (nohup python twotower.py --stage test --bs 1024 --min_count 20 --epochs 5 --lr 3e-3 --threads 4 --out submission_v2.parquet > log_test_v2.txt 2>&1 &) && sleep 2 && python - <<'EOF'\nimport numpy as np, pandas as pd\nD='/task/data/'\ncat=pd.read_parquet(D+'candidate_catalog.parquet'); items=cat.item_id.values.astype(np.int64)\ne=np.load(D+'validation_eligible_candidates.npz'); uids=e['uids'].astype(np.int64)\nm=np.unpackbits(e['packed_eligible'],axis=1,count=len(items),bitorder='little').astype(bool)\nscore=np.log1p(cat.organic_positive_listens.values).astype(np.float32)\norder=np.argsort(-score); top=np.zeros((len(uids),100),np.int64)\nfor r in range(len(uids)): top[r]=order[m[r][order]][:100]\npd.DataFrame({'uid':np.repeat(uids,100),'item_id':items[top.ravel()],'rank':np.tile(np.arange(1,101),len(uids))}).to_parquet('val_pop.parquet',index=False)\nEOF\npython /task/evaluate_public.py val_pop.parquet", "description": "Launch v2 val and test runs, score popularity baseline", "timeout": 180000 } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T08:31:20.515Z { "model": "val_pop.parquet", "scores": { "quality_ndcg@10": 0.010578, "quality_users": 4263 } } ### Harness context { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14951281 tokens left" } ### Harness context { "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" } ## Step 14 · agent · 2026-10-03T08:31:26.644Z ### Recorded reasoning The two-tower model at 0.0217 is roughly double the popularity baseline of 0.0106, so it's a meaningful improvement.

Memory is within 1 GB of the cgroup limit with both runs alive, so I'm stopping the validation run to protect the final test refit, and will re-run validation afterwards if time allows. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T08:33:13.223Z { "command": "kill 8573; sleep 1; ps -o pid,etime,time,rss,cmd -C python | head -3; cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.current", "description": "Stop validation run to free memory" } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T08:33:14.268Z PID ELAPSED TIME RSS CMD 8575 02:01 00:04:51 3955792 python twotower.py --stage test --bs 1024 --min_count 20 --epochs 5 --lr 3e-3 --threads 4 --out submission_v2.parquet 4556550144 ### Harness context { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14948807 tokens left" } ### Harness context { "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" } ## Step 18 · agent · 2026-10-03T08:33:30.036Z ### Bash · 2026-10-03T08:33:30.036Z { "command": "cat > README.md <<'EOF'\n# Made-for-You two-tower discovery ranker\n\nAll code lives in this directory: `prep.py` (caches training listens as numpy arrays),\n`twotower.py` (defines, trains and applies both towers, writes a ranking),\n`fallback.py` (popularity safety-net submission, superseded by the model output).\n\n## Model (CPU PyTorch 2.8, `twotower.py`)\n\nScore(u, i) = `dot(user_vec(u), item_vec(i))`, both 64-dimensional, so item vectors are\nprecomputed offline for the 30,000 catalog tracks and users are served by one tower call\nplus maximum-inner-product search.\n\n* **Item tower**: trainable item embedding (shared vocabulary table: 30k catalog items +\n frequent history items) concatenated with 3 standardized popularity features\n (log positive listens, log organic strong listens, log recent listens) ->\n `Linear(67,256) -> GELU -> Linear(256,64)` with a residual from the raw embedding and a\n linear popularity term.\n* **User tower** (no user-ID lookup, purely history-derived): three recency/type-weighted\n mean pools of item embeddings, over the last 128 positive listens (weights\n `(0.5+0.5*is_organic)*exp(-age_days/30)+0.25`), the last 64 likes, and the last 32\n dislikes, plus log counts of each; concatenated (195 dims) and passed through\n `Linear(195,256) -> GELU -> Linear(256,64)` plus a linear skip.\n* No user-item matrix is ever materialised; training examples are streamed per user\n window, so the approach scales to millions of users/items.\n\n## Training objective\n\nTemporal backtest simulation: for 8 weekly cutoffs `T` before the history end, a user's\ninputs are built from events strictly before `T`, and the targets are the catalog tracks\nthe user organically liked (weight 2) or organically played to >=80 % (weight 1) within\n`[T, T+7d)` and had never interacted with before `T` (matching the discovery eligibility\nrule).

I'll wrap up with a brief recap now. The final two-tower submission is in place at `/app/solution/submission.parquet`, validated against the test eligibility sets (845,600 rows, 100 per target user, all eligible). **What was built** (`/app/solution/twotower.py`) - **Item tower**: shared item embedding plus three popularity features, through a small MLP with a residual, giving a 64-dim vector precomputable for all 30k catalog tracks. - **User tower**: no user-ID lookup. 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. - **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. **Scores on the public validation window** (graded NDCG@10, 4263 scored users) | Ranking | NDCG@10 | | --- | --- | | Organic popularity baseline | 0.0106 | | Two-tower, run 1 | 0.0217 | **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. **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. **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. ## Recorded session usage [ { "type": "cost-state", "sessionId": "043ad9de-2f30-482a-a1c0-8b47381e34a9", "totalCostUSD": 2.23238825, "totalAPIDuration": 264345, "totalAPIDurationWithoutRetries": 264298, "totalToolDuration": 1686687, "totalLinesAdded": 0, "totalLinesRemoved": 0, "totalDuration": 1952085, "startTime": 1791015176587, "modelUsage": { "claude-fable-5-1": { "inputTokens": 644, "outputTokens": 23178, "thinkingTokens": 7553, "cacheReadInputTokens": 927073, "cacheCreationInputTokens": 41764, "webSearchRequests": 0, "costUSD": 2.23238825 } }, "hasUnknownModelCost": false } ]
