Improve a production music-discovery two-tower

You have joined the recommendations team for a music streaming service. The "Made for You" shelf is served by a mature production two-tower model. Its chronological data protocol and indexed serving path are sound, but its offline retrieval quality no longer clears the team's next launch gate.

Your job is to investigate the production model, improve its retrieval quality, and ship a better ranking artifact. Use the implementation and public validation data to form and test your own diagnosis.

The source used to reproduce the production model is included under /task/current_model/. You may copy it into /app/solution/, edit it, add tests, and improve its training objective, but keep the data protocol, two-tower serving contract, and evaluation boundary intact.

Production Context

The model must satisfy a strict request-time latency budget. Item vectors are precomputed offline. At request time, one user vector is computed from observed interaction history and compared with candidate item vectors by a batchable two-tower score. Do not introduce a cross-encoder, per-candidate sequence model, or user-ID lookup table.

The current trainer is a mature baseline with chronological internal validation. Focus your investigation on how its training objective selects and uses negative examples. Diagnose limitations in the current negative-sampling strategy and improve it under the fixed CPU budget. Validate changes with the public backtest. The final approach must still train and rank within the supplied CPU environment while preserving the serving and data boundaries above.

What You Have

All public inputs are under /task/data/. A stage cutoff is the timestamp at which observed history and candidate eligibility are frozen for a ranking. The public validation stage cutoff is 24786800, when train_* ends. A 30-minute gap precedes the seven-day val_* window. For the final submission, that validation window becomes observed history, and another 30-minute gap precedes the hidden seven-day outcome window.

The package includes:

  • /task/current_model/train_current_model.py: the production training and ranking script. It can reproduce the public validation ranking and produce a hidden-test submission after refitting.
  • /task/current_model/two_tower_model.py: model primitives used by the production script.
  • /task/evaluate_public.py: the public validation evaluator for development.
  • /task/data/validation_eligible_candidates.npz and /task/data/test_eligible_candidates.npz: platform-owned candidate sets for the validation and hidden-test cutoffs.
  • /task/data/validation_preference_state.parquet and /task/data/test_preference_state.parquet: active explicit preference state at the corresponding cutoffs.
  • /task/requirements.txt: the exact offline Python distribution inventory.

You can reproduce the production public backtest with:

python /task/current_model/train_current_model.py \
  --stage validation \
  --public-dir /task \
  --output /app/solution/production_validation.parquet
python /task/evaluate_public.py /app/solution/production_validation.parquet

Data

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. For model development and selection, train only from train_* and score the subsequent val_* outcomes.
  2. After selecting an improvement, 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").

Validation candidates exclude all train_* encounters. Test candidates exclude all train_* and val_* encounters. 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 same 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.

Deliverable

Submit one final ranking as /app/solution/submission.parquet or /app/solution/submission.csv. It must be a regular file, not a symbolic link. If both files exist, the verifier evaluates submission.parquet and ignores submission.csv.

The ranking must:

  • include the columns uid, item_id, and rank; only these columns are evaluated;
  • use finite, integer-valued entries in all three required columns;
  • cover exactly the users in target_users.parquet, with no missing or extra users;
  • contain exactly 100 rows and 100 distinct items for every target user;
  • contain every integer rank from 1 through 100 exactly once per user; and
  • use only items present in that user's test_eligible_candidates.npz candidate set.

Also leave the improved implementation used to build the artifact at /app/solution/train_current_model.py, along with any local modules it imports. A concise /app/solution/README.md with the diagnosis, before-and-after public score, model change, and submission command is useful for the experiment record, but it is not an automated acceptance gate.

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.
  • Do not alter cutoff definitions, target users, candidate eligibility, or relevance labels.
  • Improve the production pipeline in place. Do not substitute an unrelated model family or evade the indexed two-tower serving constraint.
  • The environment includes CPU PyTorch 2.8.0. No accelerator is available.
  • You have up to 60 minutes. Prioritize measured validation improvements, a correct final refit, and a valid submission over broad architecture search.
  • Keep the best valid submission saved throughout the attempt so it survives the deadline.

"""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.

computing graded NDCG@10.

The module deliberately contains no event-derived labels, private artifact

Generating In-Batch Negatives

I'm working on the logic for in-batch negatives. I'm ensuring that if there aren't enough unique targets within a batch to fulfill the inbatch_negatives count, the remaining slots are filled with uniformly sampled items.

Adjusting Negative Sample Generation

Evaluating In-Batch Negative Logic

I'm closely examining the in-batch negative sampling mechanism. Specifically, I'm trying to understand the definition and scope of a "block" in this context, as it directly impacts how targets are used for generating these negatives.

Investigating Dense Block and User Grouping

I'm currently dissecting the build_dense_block function and its interaction with user grouping logic. I'm trying to clarify how users are consolidated into groups and the implications this has on the scale of targets generated within a single block, which appears to be quite substantial.

Recorded reasoning summary 41 words

Clarifying In-Batch Sampling

I'm re-evaluating the in-batch negative sampling strategy. It appears the current implementation samples uniformly from unique batch targets, rather than based on item popularity or batch frequency, which is the standard for two-tower models. This distinction is critical.

Applying In-Batch Popularity Corrections

I'm now focusing on the build_item_correction function. I'm analyzing how it calculates item propensities from training targets, applies a power correction based on popularity, and normalizes these corrections to mitigate bias in the negative sampling objective.

Recorded reasoning summary 40 words

Correcting Loss Calculations

I'm realizing a significant flaw in how the corrected_negative_loss is calculated. The normalization of weights by their sum within the in-batch negative component appears to negate the intended effect of the popularity corrections, which needs immediate revision.

Recorded reasoning summary 38 words

Revising Loss Normalization

I've identified that the normalization of weights within the corrected_negative_loss was counterproductive. My current focus is on rectifying this to properly leverage the popularity corrections and ensure the in-batch negative component accurately reflects sampling biases.

Recorded reasoning summary 43 words

Revising Unique Target Sampling

I'm realizing that torch.unique(targets) treats all unique items equally, regardless of their actual frequency. This means the current sampling of in-batch negatives from unique targets is uniform, not reflecting actual popularity, which is a critical departure from expected behavior.

Recorded reasoning summary 45 words

Revising In-Batch Sampling Logic

I'm realizing a fundamental issue: in-batch negatives are sampled uniformly from unique targets, ignoring popularity. This, combined with how item corrections were applied, disproportionately penalizes rare items, potentially leading to the model favoring only popular items, which contradicts the discovery objective.

I'm focusing on how torch.unique treats all items equally. This means my in-batch negative sampling, by drawing from unique targets, is currently uniform and doesn't reflect actual item popularity. This needs to be re-evaluated.

Recorded reasoning summary 51 words

Correcting In-Batch Sampling Bias

I've realized that sampling in-batch negatives from unique targets, as my current torch.unique approach does, treats all items equally. This is incorrect; in-batch negatives should be sampled proportionally to their frequency within the batch to effectively penalize popular items and align with the standard two-tower model approach.

Revising Logit Calculations

I'm examining the theoretical underpinnings of using logits - log(p_j) and its connection to PMI. I'm also scrutinizing the specific implementation of the Binary Cross Entropy loss, particularly how softplus is applied to both positive and negative logit calculations, and how the correction term is integrated into the negative loss.

Recorded reasoning summary 42 words

Revising Correction Application

I'm analyzing how correction is applied to the in-batch negative loss calculation. It appears weights = correction[:, selected] is incorrectly using item propensities directly as weights, rather than their normalized, inverse probabilities, which is crucial for accurate loss adjustment.

Recorded reasoning summary 48 words

Applying Inverse Probability Corrections

I'm now focused on calculating the correction term by deriving item propensities from target counts. I'm applying a power transformation based on popularity and then normalizing these values to generate inverse probabilities that will be used to adjust the in-batch negative loss, mitigating bias.

Recorded reasoning summary 43 words

Correcting Popularity Bias

I'm identifying that my raw calculation for in-batch corrections is inversely related to item probability. This means rare items get large raw values, while popular items get small ones. This seems to be counteracting the goal of penalizing popular items.

Analyzing Negative Sampling Sources

I'm currently investigating the source of my uniform negatives, confirming they're sampled from the entire catalog of 30,000 items. I also want to inspect the composition of unique_targets from a batch to understand the distribution of items present.

Analyzing Discovery Retrieval

I'm now examining the sources of uniform negatives and the composition of unique targets from batches to understand item distributions.

Analyzing Validation Data

My current focus is on dissecting the validation data. I've observed that a substantial 14,124 unique items are marked as relevant. Interestingly, the median popularity rank for these relevant items is 5,622, with the mean rank slightly higher at 8,463. This provides a valuable benchmark for evaluating baseline predictions.

Recorded reasoning summary 51 words

Investigating Bias Causes

I'm digging into why my baseline is so biased. It's predicting only a tiny fraction of items, and those are heavily skewed towards the most popular ones. The negative sampling strategy seems like the prime suspect; popular items get swamped with positive signals, overwhelming the rarer negative ones.

Evaluating Correction Impact

I'm analyzing the raw calculation and its interaction with clipping. Popular items result in values less than 1, clipped low, while rare items yield high values, clipped high. I need to examine how this correction term is ultimately applied within the loss function to understand its bias-mitigation effect.

Implementing In-Batch Negatives

Recorded reasoning summary 45 words

Revising In-Batch Sampling

I've identified an issue in the in-batch negative selection process. Taking torch.unique on the targets discards crucial frequency information, leading to uniform sampling rather than proportional selection based on item popularity within the batch. This needs correction to reflect true in-batch dynamics.

Recorded reasoning summary 44 words

Correcting Negative Sampling Proportions

I'm revising how uniform negatives are sampled. Currently, all catalog items have equal probability of selection, irrespective of their overall popularity. This creates a severe imbalance where high-listen-count items receive disproportionately more positive than negative training signals, impacting their representation.

Recorded reasoning summary 48 words

Addressing Popularity Bias

I'm analyzing how popular items are overwhelmingly favored due to the current training setup. My immediate focus is on understanding how positive and negative logits are calculated and the role of softplus and corrected_negative_loss in the observed bias, particularly the disproportionate impact on tail tracks.

Recorded reasoning summary 46 words

Analyzing Loss Function Biases

I'm examining the loss calculation, specifically corrected_negative_loss. My current focus is on understanding the implications of F.softplus on logits and how the combination of uniform and in-batch negatives, along with the correction tensor, might be introducing or exacerbating biases towards popular items.

Recorded reasoning summary 51 words

Reversing Correction Logic

I'm analyzing the correction term used for in-batch negatives. It appears to be inversely proportional to an item's popularity, meaning popular items get a small correction (low weight) and tail items get a large correction (high weight). This seems to be the exact opposite of the desired outcome.

Recorded reasoning summary 49 words

Correcting Uniform Sampling Approach

I'm realizing the attempt to recover a uniform distribution over catalog items is fundamentally flawed. This uniform approach, by design, amplifies popularity bias due to the significant variance in item popularity. The goal is not a uniform expectation, but rather to balance popularity and affinity.

Recorded reasoning summary 43 words

Analyzing Logit Adjustments

I'm re-evaluating how sampling bias correction impacts logits. By subtracting $\log P(i)$ during training, the resulting score $s_{ui}$ effectively represents personalized affinity $\text{PMI}(u, i)$, becoming independent of global popularity at inference time. This is a critical insight for unbiased ranking.

Recorded reasoning summary 49 words

Testing Popularity Sampling

I'm now exploring popularity-based negative sampling, considering probabilities proportional to an item's popularity raised to an exponent. I want to analyze the impact of this versus uniform sampling and investigate combinations of both uniform and popularity-based negatives, as well as in-batch negatives sampled by target frequency.

Recorded reasoning summary 60 words

Revising Invalid Negative Replacement

I'm noticing a critical issue in how invalid negatives are handled. When an invalid negative is identified, it's currently replaced with a random item, and its correction weight is reset to 1.0. This approach effectively discards the information from the invalid draw and treats it as a standard uniform negative, potentially undermining more nuanced sampling strategies.

Examining Offsets

I'm scrutinizing how user data offsets are handled, particularly within pack_positive_items. My current hypothesis is that the target_count might be incorrectly incrementing beyond the actual user sequence length, leading to an overestimation of positive examples in training.

Analyzing Loss Function

I'm scrutinizing the corrected_negative_loss function. My focus is on how it utilizes both uniform and in-batch negatives, particularly the weighting applied to in-batch negatives via the correction tensor, and how this integrates with the overall loss calculation.

Recorded reasoning summary 38 words

Adjusting Loss Weights

I'm re-evaluating the corrected_negative_loss by analyzing how weights are applied to in-batch negatives. It appears tail negatives are disproportionately penalized compared to popular ones, and I'm investigating why this correction mechanism is implemented this way.

Recorded reasoning summary 50 words

Revising Correction Logic

I've identified that the correction term, intended to account for sampling bias, is inversely proportional to the square root of item popularity. This disproportionately penalizes rare items, causing the model to favor popular items during prediction, which I believe is the source of the observed recommendation bias.

Recorded reasoning summary 44 words

Correcting Popularity Bias

I've determined the correction term subtracts a value inversely proportional to the square root of item popularity. This over-penalizes rare items, causing my model to favor popular ones. I'm now investigating how this aligns with standard approaches like subtracting log probabilities.

Recorded reasoning summary 54 words

Analyzing BCE Loss

I've realized that subtracting $\log(p_j)$ in sampled softmax creates an unbiased estimator of the full catalog softmax. My current focus is on how this concept translates to Binary Cross-Entropy (BCE) loss, specifically analyzing the gradient for $s(u, j)$ when sampling from $Q(j)$ and how it differs from the sampled softmax approach.

Recorded reasoning summary 63 words

Decomposing Score Components

I've realized that my current BCE loss setup, with uniform negative sampling, results in the model's score implicitly learning both user-item affinity and item popularity. Given the vast variance in item popularity, this popularity term currently dominates, explaining why recommendations are overly skewed towards universally popular items. I'm now exploring how to adjust the negative sampling strategy to mitigate this.

Recorded reasoning summary 64 words

Learning Personalized Affinity

I've discovered that by sampling negatives proportional to popularity and setting the derivative of the loss to zero, the global item popularity term cancels out entirely. This means the learned score $s(u, j)$ effectively represents the Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI), capturing how much more a user likes an item than the average user, leading to personalized rankings rather than popularity-based ones.

Recorded reasoning summary 47 words

Confirming Popularity Independence

I've confirmed that sampling negatives proportionally to their popularity effectively cancels out the global item popularity term in the loss function.

Implementing Core Functions

I'm currently focused on integrating the remaining training and evaluation functions into run_experiment.py. This includes adding run_training_epoch_custom and train_custom. My next step will be to flesh out the main() function, ensuring it correctly handles the --uniform-negatives argument with its default value.

Improving NDCG Performance

I've observed a positive uptick in NDCG@10, now standing at 0.021723. My current focus is on further enhancing this by exploring the impact of increased popularity negatives or a higher popularity power weighting. I'll also be investigating the effects of softmax and sampling strategies next.

Evaluating Loss Functions

I'm currently dissecting the implications of cross-entropy versus BCE loss, and more critically, the impact of discovery-graded target weighting. The significant weighting given to repeat listens within discovery-graded seems problematic given their ineligibility at test time. I'm also examining the role of softmax and appropriate temperature scaling for logits.

Analyzing Popularity Trends

My analysis of the top 10 predicted items reveals a stark difference between the baseline and Experiment 1. The baseline shows a mean popularity rank of 2,597 and a median of 111, indicating reasonable predictions. However, Experiment 1's results are concerning, with a drastically increased mean rank of 7,597 and a median of 6,491, suggesting a significant degradation in prediction quality.

Recorded reasoning summary 47 words

Investigating Logits Scaling

I've realized the baseline was skewed; Experiment 1 actually aligns better with the ground truth distribution for discovery relevance. Now I'm exploring Softmax loss and different temperature settings, particularly softmax_logq, to understand how scaling logits by logq affects predictions for popular versus rare items.

Recorded reasoning summary 47 words

Adjusting Logits for Discovery

I'm revisiting the logits scaling, realizing that subtracting logq might be counterproductive for discovery-focused ranking at inference. My current focus is on how omitting this subtraction during training influences the learned dot products, potentially capturing PMI directly and favoring discovery over sheer popularity.

Testing Discovery Objective

I'm shifting focus to the music discovery goal: prioritizing personalized affinity (PMI) over global popularity. I'll test target_weighting = "discovery-graded" with loss_type = "bce_unweighted", and also a softmax loss configuration to see how these impact predictions.

Evaluating Softmax Temperatures

I'm exploring the impact of softmax loss with varying temperature parameters. Initial logit scale analysis suggests temperatures around 0.15-0.25 might be optimal for achieving good separation between positive and negative examples within the sampled batch. I will proceed with testing $\tau = 0.2$ and $\tau = 0.1$.

Adjusting Hyperparameters

My exploration into temperature values has yielded an interesting outcome: a slightly higher temperature of 0.20 resulted in a marginal improvement, achieving 0.026195 compared to 0.15's 0.023909. This suggests that the lower temperature may have over-emphasized hard negatives, negatively impacting overall quality. I'm now considering further adjustments.

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.
