Each sample is one (user, cutoff) pair: four pooled history channels observed
strictly before the cutoff, plus the novel organic positives that occur in the
seven-day window that follows it.  This mirrors the evaluation protocol exactly
(history -> next-week novel organic engagement) and never materialises a global

"""Two-tower discovery ranker: definition, training and ranking export.

Architecture
------------
* ``ItemTower``  : id embedding (+ cutoff-correct popularity features) -> MLP -> R^d
* ``UserTower``  : four weighted-pooled history channels over a *separate*
  input embedding table -> MLP -> R^d.  No user-id parameters exist, so the
  model generalises to any user with a history.
* score(u, i)    = <user_vec, item_vec>, a pure inner product, so item vectors
  are precomputable offline and retrieval is a MIPS lookup.

Training objective: full-catalogue sampled-free softmax (30k logits) over the
novel organic positives of the following week, with already-consumed items
masked out of the denominator to match serving-time eligibility.  Grade-3
(organic like) targets receive a larger loss weight than grade-1 targets.

# Two-tower discovery ranker — "Made for You"

## Files

| File | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `prep.py` | Builds cutoff-correct `(user history, next-week novel positives)` samples. |
| `train.py` | Defines both PyTorch towers, trains them, and exports a ranking. |
| `validation.parquet` | Validation-stage ranking (scored by `evaluate_public.py`). |
| `submission.parquet` | Final hidden-test ranking (100 items × 8,456 target users). |

## Architecture

Score is exactly `⟨user_vec, item_vec⟩` with both vectors in `R^64`, so item
vectors are precomputed offline and request time is one user-tower forward pass
plus a MIPS lookup.

**Item tower** (`ItemTower`): `Embedding(30001, 96)` for the catalogue id,
concatenated with four cutoff-observable popularity features (z-scored
`log1p` positive-listen counts over the trailing 7 days / 28 days / all time,
plus the organic share of the trailing 28 days), then
`Linear(100→192) → GELU → Linear(192→64)` with a linear skip from the raw
embedding. Item vectors depend only on the item and on data available at the
cutoff, so the whole table is precomputable.

**User tower** (`UserTower`): contains **no user-id parameters**. It reads four
weighted-pooled channels over a *separate* item input-embedding table
(`Embedding(30001, 96)`, padding row zeroed):

1. the last 256 positive-listen events, weighted by `exp(-age / 30 days)`;
2. the 128 most-played distinct items over the whole history, weighted by
   `log1p(play count)`;
3. up to 128 currently-active liked items (likes minus later unlikes);
4. up to 64 currently-active disliked items (dislikes minus later undislikes).

The four pooled vectors are concatenated (384-d) and passed through
`Linear(384→192) → GELU → Linear(192→64)` with a linear skip.

Nothing in the pipeline builds or factorises a global user-item matrix: every
structure is a per-user sequence of length `O(history)`, and the towers are
plain feed-forward networks over item ids, so the approach scales to millions
of users and items.

## Training objective

Each training example is a `(user, cutoff)` pair. The cutoffs are the six
seven-day windows preceding the training cutoff (and, for the refit, the public
validation window as well). Targets are the **novel** organic positives in the
window following the cutoff — items the user had never positively listened to
before, matching the platform's eligibility rule exactly:

* grade 3 — organic like;
* grade 1 — organic listen with `played_ratio_pct ≥ 80`.

The loss is a full-catalogue softmax cross-entropy over all 30,000 candidate
items (no negative sampling approximation is needed at this catalogue size),
with the user's already-consumed items masked out of the denominator so the
denominator matches the serving-time eligible set. Grade-3 targets carry 3× the
loss weight of grade-1 targets, reflecting the `2^grade − 1` NDCG gain.
Optimiser: AdamW with a OneCycle LR schedule.

## Validation → test protocol

* **Validation ranker**: history and training targets come only from `train_*`;
  the `val_*` window is used purely as held-out labels for `evaluate_public.py`
  and for epoch selection.
* **Final ranker**: the identical architecture and schedule are refit on
  `train_* + val_*`, with all cutoffs shifted forward one window so the
  validation window becomes a training target window and validation events
  become observed history. Ranking is restricted to
  `test_eligible_candidates.npz`.

## Scores

* Popularity baseline (public validation NDCG@10): **0.010577**
* Two-tower model (public validation NDCG@10): **see `SCORE` below**

floor, not the converged number: training loss was still falling steeply
(9.30 -> 8.51 -> 7.67 across the three epochs of the final refit). The refit
that produced `submission.parquet` ran the full 3-epoch OneCycle schedule.
