Build a latency-efficient PyTorch two-tower neural-network ranker

Build a two-tower neural network in CPU PyTorch for the "Made for You" shelf of a music streaming service. 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:

FamilyMeaningColumns
listensPlayback eventsuid, timestamp, item_id, is_organic, played_ratio_pct, track_length_seconds
likesExplicit positive actionsuid, timestamp, item_id, is_organic
dislikesExplicit negative actionsuid, timestamp, item_id, is_organic
unlikesReversal of a prior likeuid, timestamp, item_id, is_organic
undislikesReversal of a prior dislikeuid, 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:

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 skill listing
{
  "type": "skill_listing",
  "content": "- dataviz: Use this skill whenever you are about to create ANY chart, graph, plot, dashboard, or data visualization, in ANY output medium — an HTML or React artifact, inline SVG, plotting code in any library (matplotlib, plotly, d3, Recharts, …), an image/PNG you will render and upload, or a chart shared into Slack. 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 and reuse/simplification/efficiency cleanups 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.\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). Load before authoring a script for a workflow the user already opted into; it does not itself authorize running one.\n- run: Launch and drive this project's app to see a change working. 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- init: Initialize a new CLAUDE.md file with codebase documentation\n- security-review: Complete a security review of the pending changes on the current branch",

"""Score a validation-stage ranking against public discovery labels.

``build_task.py`` publishes this module with the solver-visible task files. 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 private judge applies the threshold to the final submission.

# Two-tower discovery ranker (CPU PyTorch)

## Architecture (`model.py`)
A single `TwoTower` module with two heads over one shared 30,000 x 128 item-embedding
table (the retrieval catalog is the only ID vocabulary; there is **no user-ID table**).

* **Item tower** — `emb[i] -> LayerNorm -> (identity-initialised linear skip + 2-layer
  GELU MLP) -> R^128`. Depends on the item alone, so all 30,000 item vectors are
  precomputed once and loaded into a MIPS/ANN index.
* **User tower** — four `embedding_bag` pools over the same table, built purely from the
  user's interaction history at the scoring cutoff:
  `all` positive listens (top 256), `recent` positive listens in the last 30 days
  (top 128), currently `liked` items and currently `disliked` items (explicit state, net
  of unlikes/undislikes). Bag weights are `log1p(count)`, L2-style normalised so long
  histories do not dominate. The four pooled vectors are concatenated,
  `LayerNorm`-ed, and passed through a linear skip + 2-layer GELU MLP to `R^128`.
* **Score** — exactly `dot(user_vec, item_vec)`. Nothing else enters the score, so
  request time is one user-tower forward pass plus one inner-product search.

Training never materialises or factorises a global user-item matrix: gradients only
touch the items in a sampled mini-batch, so the method scales to millions of
users/items.

## Training objective (`run.py`)
Sampled-softmax (InfoNCE) over novel positives, using six weekly temporal slices of the
training period. For each slice the user tower sees only history strictly before the
slice cutoff, and the positives are the *novel* organic outcomes inside the following
seven days — the same event definition the metric uses (organic like -> grade 3, weight
2; organic listen >= 80% -> grade 1, weight 1). Items already in the user's history are
excluded from the targets, matching the platform's candidate-eligibility rule (verified:
eligibility removes 100% of previously-interacted items, so this is a pure
new-item-discovery problem).

Each step draws 512 (history, positive) pairs and 3,072 shared negatives (half uniform,
half popularity^0.75); other in-batch positives are masked out of the row's negatives.
AdamW + OneCycle, 900 steps.

## Data pipeline
* `load.py` — streams the 43M-row listen log once, keeps positive listens (>= 50%
  completion) on catalog items, and caches compact `.npz` arrays.
* `features.py` — builds the capped, weighted history bags and the novel-positive
  targets at an arbitrary cutoff.
* `pipeline.py` — concatenates per-slice bags into a flat CSR "context" store and
  assembles `embedding_bag` batches.
* `common.py` — eligibility unpacking, validation ground truth, NDCG@10.

## Results
Public validation NDCG@10 (`evaluate_public.py`): **0.014107** over 4,263 scored users,
against **0.010710** for the popularity ordering of the same eligible candidates
(+32%).

## Final refit and submission
The selected configuration is refit on `train_* + val_*`: a seventh slice is added whose
history is everything up to the training cutoff and whose targets are the validation
window's novel organic outcomes, and inference uses history through the end of the
validation window (train + val as observed history) with `test_eligible_candidates.npz`.

```sh
python load.py                 # one-time event caching
python run.py val 900          # validation ranker -> solution/validation.parquet
python run.py final 900        # hidden-test ranker -> solution/submission.parquet
```

Environment knobs: `DIM`, `HID`, `BIAS`, `SDECAY`, `EVERY` (defaults used above:
`DIM=128 HID=256 BIAS=0 SDECAY=1.0`).

Model text

Done. Final state in /app/solution/:

Deliverable — submission.parquet: 845,600 rows, 8,456 target users × ranks 1–100, no duplicates, every item verified present in that user's test_eligible_candidates.npz set (checked with the task's own validate_ranking).

Model (model.py) — a PyTorch two-tower net over one shared 30k×128 item-embedding table:

  • Item tower: emb[i] → LayerNorm → (identity-init linear skip + 2-layer GELU MLP) → R^128. User-independent, so all item vectors precompute into a MIPS index.
  • User tower: four embedding_bag pools built only from interaction history at the cutoff (all positive listens, last-30-day listens, active likes, active dislikes — no user-ID parameters), concatenated → LayerNorm → skip + MLP → R^128.
  • Score is exactly dot(user_vec, item_vec).

Training (run.py) — sampled-softmax over six weekly temporal slices; each slice's user tower sees only pre-cutoff history and predicts the novel organic outcomes in the following 7 days (like → grade 3, ≥80% listen → grade 1). 512 pairs + 3,072 shared negatives (half uniform, half popularity^0.75) per step, in-batch positives masked. No global interaction matrix is ever built.

Key data finding that shaped the design: eligibility removes 100% of a user's previously-interacted items — 75% of the window's positives are repeats and all of them are filtered out. So this is pure new-item discovery, and training targets were restricted to novel items to match.

Scores — public validation NDCG@10 0.014107 (4,263 scored users) vs 0.010710 for popularity ordering over the same candidates, +32%.

Caveat on tuning: run-to-run variance was material at this data scale (variants I tried at higher dimension, with an item-bias coordinate, or with recency-weighted slices landed at 0.0137/0.0124/0.0116 and none beat the selected config). With ~60 minutes I could not average seeds or run a proper sweep, so the selected configuration is the best of six single runs rather than a variance-controlled choice. The final model refits that configuration on train_* + val_* (seventh slice: history through the training cutoff, targets = validation-window novel outcomes) and infers with train+val as observed history.

About this recording

The full recorded conversation: task prompt, agent messages, thinking text when available, tool inputs and outputs, and harness context. Empty thinking entries are labeled unavailable, not reconstructed from tool calls. Disclosures change the view; they do not shorten the content. Any truncation already present in tool output is preserved.

Steps follow the recorded model messages and reasoning events. Tool results appear with their originating call. Elapsed time starts with the first recorded event and excludes verification.
