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.

Analyzing Model Requirements

My current focus is on dissecting the core mandates for enhancing the music-discovery tower model. I'm reviewing topic updates, identifying critical constraints, and understanding the operational environment to refine the task instructions.

Recorded reasoning summary 51 words

Investigating Negative Sampling

I'm now drilling into the training objective, specifically how negative examples are selected and utilized. My priority is to pinpoint limitations within the current negative-sampling strategy and devise improvements that fit within our strict CPU constraints. This diagnostic work aims to prepare for validation against the public backtest.

"""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.

Exploring Cache Optimization

I've noticed the --prepare-only and --prepared-cache flags and how load_or_prepare now saves the cache with the latter. My current focus is on determining if we can pre-generate this prepared cache for validation and submission. The goal is to shave off roughly 50 seconds of data preparation per training run by avoiding redundant preparation.

Caching Data Now

I've successfully cached both prepared_val.npz and prepared_sub.npz. My immediate next step is to generate an initial baseline submission.parquet to ensure I have a valid submission saved before the deadline. Following that, I will proceed with training the current model.

Recorded reasoning summary 47 words

Generating Submission File

I'm considering generating a baseline submission.parquet now, even though the score isn't optimal. This ensures I have a valid submission saved, providing a fallback should anything go wrong before the deadline. I'm weighing this against continuing to investigate potential issues with the negative validation.

Recorded reasoning summary 61 words

Investigating Negatives Systematically

I'm shifting my focus from immediate submission generation to a deep dive into the negative sampling strategy. Running parallel training jobs on CPU seems counterproductive given resource constraints, so I'm prioritizing careful code inspection and diagnosis. My goal is to understand the current limitations and identify improvements to the negative sampling process itself before proceeding with further training.

Diagnosing Negative Sampling

I'm now meticulously examining how my training objective selects and utilizes negative examples. My primary aim is to identify limitations within the current negative-sampling strategy and enhance it while adhering to the fixed CPU budget. I will then validate these changes using the public backtest.

Refining Negative Selection Logic

I'm currently scrutinizing the invalid mask generation within the negative sampling code. My focus is on understanding its interaction with draw_full_history_filtered_negatives and ensuring it correctly identifies and excludes unwanted samples before I proceed with any modifications.

Debugging Inbatch Negatives

I'm now investigating the inbatch negative sampling, specifically where targets originates in draw_training_negatives. I'm checking run_training_epoch and the build_dense_block function for clues, as the current logic seems to be missing a critical piece.

Recorded reasoning summary 53 words

Tracing Positive Item Origin

I'm now tracing the origin of positive_items in the draw_training_negatives function. It appears to be derived from flat_scored, which itself originates from a BPTT block, and I need to understand how users and steps in that block determine its dimensions and content before proceeding with the negative sampling logic.

Recorded reasoning summary 52 words

Understanding Target Origins

I'm now analyzing how positive_items are derived from flat_scored and the users and steps within the BPTT block. This is crucial for understanding the full scope of the 6,400 targets and how they are being used to sample both uniform and in-batch negatives, which then informs the corrected_negative_loss calculation.

Recorded reasoning summary 47 words

Analyzing Loss Functions

I am currently analyzing the corrected_negative_loss function and its relationship with F.softplus. I've realized it's essentially binary cross-entropy, but I need to fully understand how it treats positive samples versus averaged negative samples before proceeding. This seems to be the core of the issue.

Recorded reasoning summary 40 words

Investigating Loss Calculation

I'm dissecting the corrected_negative_loss function, realizing it's effectively BCE. My focus is on understanding how the averaging of negative logits impacts the gradient, as a scaling factor of 1/K appears to dilute the push from individual negatives.

Analyzing Dislike Usage

I'm currently scrutinizing the precise utilization of "dislikes" within the user tower, specifically confirming they function solely as an input feature and are never treated as negative examples. My immediate focus is on whether dislikes are incorporated into invalid_full_history_negatives, and I'm reviewing the relevant code at line 609 for clarification.

Recorded reasoning summary 37 words

Confirming Dislike Functionality

I'm verifying that dislikes act solely as input and aren't misinterpreted as negative examples. My current investigation centers on their integration into invalid_full_history_negatives, and I'm examining line 609 for definitive confirmation of this behavior.

Recorded reasoning summary 30 words

Investigating Input Inclusion

I'm reviewing how prepared.sequence_items are handled, specifically questioning if user validation prefixes or full histories are excluded. My attention is drawn to training_counts as a potential indicator.

Recorded reasoning summary 50 words

Examining Dislike Handling

I'm now realizing that build_known_positive_filter already accounts for liked items and training history to prevent their sampling as negatives. My immediate question is whether explicit dislikes (train_dislikes) are similarly handled, given their nature as explicitly disliked tracks. I need to determine if the discovery objective considers them.

Recorded reasoning summary 50 words

Clarifying Negative Sample Source

I'm now focusing on how negative examples are selected and utilized by the training objective. My current priority is to thoroughly examine the entire codebase for any mention of the negative-sampling strategy to identify potential limitations and areas for improvement, keeping the CPU budget in mind.

Recorded reasoning summary 27 words

Confirming Target Identity

I've realized that targets represents all items in a BPTT block, not just those with dislikes. This clarifies their scope for in-batch negative generation.

Recorded reasoning summary 47 words

Sampling Uniformly Incorrectly

I've discovered a significant issue: in-batch negative sampling appears to be drawing uniformly from unique targets, not proportionally to their frequency. This means popular items aren't being sampled more often, which is counter to the intended "popularity sampling" strategy and its benefits for log-Q.

Recorded reasoning summary 47 words

Applying Correction Strategy

I've realized that my previous assumption about uniform sampling was incorrect. The build_item_correction function explicitly calculates in-batch propensities based on item frequency, meaning popular items are sampled more often. My focus now shifts to understanding how this calculated correction is applied to the loss.

Recorded reasoning summary 44 words

Adjusting Loss Calculations

I've identified a critical error where in-batch negative sampling was uniform instead of proportional. My current focus is on how the calculated item correction impacts the loss, particularly when it downweights popular items, and I'm reviewing corrected_negative_loss for its precise application.

Recorded reasoning summary 49 words

Analyzing Loss Weighting

I'm re-examining the corrected_negative_loss function. It appears dividing by weights.sum(dim=1) normalizes the weights, effectively making them sum to one. My current focus is understanding why this loss is BCE and not a standard softmax, given the prompt's description of the model architecture and its retrieval mechanism.

Recorded reasoning summary 49 words

Revisiting Loss Interpretation

I'm reconsidering the nature of the corrected_negative_loss. It seems I was mistaken in expecting a softmax; it's indeed a binary cross-entropy, but the correction term, by scaling the logit, effectively biases it. My current focus is on the implication of this BCE loss with logit scaling.

Recorded reasoning summary 49 words

Investigating Negative Sampling

I'm currently investigating how negative examples are sampled and used, specifically questioning the uniform sampling from the entire catalog for uniform_negatives. My immediate focus is on how in-batch negatives are drawn from the targets within a BPTT block and if this process is user-specific or global.

Recorded reasoning summary 46 words

Analyzing Loss Behavior

I'm questioning the loss function's interpretation. While I initially saw BCE, the context and the term correction suggest it's acting more like a sampled softmax, effectively biasing logits to approximate a full softmax over candidates, which is critical for understanding the loss weighting.

Recorded reasoning summary 45 words

Confirming Loss Type

I've confirmed that the loss is indeed a BCE loss, specifically F.softplus(-positive_logits) for positives and a corrected_negative_loss for negatives. My current focus is understanding how the correction term within corrected_negative_loss effectively biases the logits to mimic a softmax behavior despite being BCE.

Clarifying Negative Logit Calculation

I'm analyzing how negative logits are computed. Specifically, I'm looking at torch.e in the provided snippet, which seems incomplete. My goal is to understand if this is part of a larger operation for calculating all negative logits and if the sum(dim=1) operation applies here as well.

Recorded reasoning summary 41 words

Analyzing Negative Logit Computation

I'm now realizing the torch.e was a placeholder for the full operation. The actual calculation involves an einsum to compute dot products between query vectors and negative vectors, generating (6400, 32) negative logits, which is computationally intensive.

Evaluating Target Weighting

I'm now considering the --target-weighting parameter and its potential impact. My focus is on the "discovery-graded" option, aiming to understand how it influences the training process and if it offers an improvement over the current "organic-strong" setting.

Investigating Negative Selection

I'm now diving deep into the core of negative sampling. My current focus is on precisely how these negatives are identified from the entire catalog, considering user listening habits and the candidate pool. I'm preparing to inspect data files directly to uncover the mechanics.

Analyzing Ground Truth Rankings

I'm observing a curious trend where our ground truth items, the ones users genuinely engage with, often fall within a surprisingly wide and rather low ranking range, from around 1,000 to 16,000. This is within a pool of 14,124 unique relevant items.

Investigating Popularity Bias

It appears my baseline model is heavily biased towards universally popular items, consistently ranking them highly. This is particularly striking when contrasted with the sparse engagement observed for these same items in the ground truth data. I'm delving into how the two-tower architecture, specifically within the training and negative sampling phases, might be amplifying this effect, especially when high-frequency positive targets are involved.

Refining Negative Sampling

I'm examining the baseline's negative sampling strategy, specifically the uniform and in-batch methods. It seems uniform negatives are drawn from the entire catalog with a vanishingly small probability for any specific item. I'm digging into the exact implementation of in-batch negatives to understand their impact.

Recorded reasoning summary 55 words

Discovering Uniform Sampling

I've uncovered a critical flaw in the in-batch negative sampling. Instead of sampling proportionally to batch frequency, the current implementation uniformly samples from unique targets. This means popular and rare items have an equal chance of being selected as negatives, severely undermining the intended purpose and likely contributing to the observed biases.

Recorded reasoning summary 44 words

Correcting Loss Calculations

I've identified a critical issue in how in-batch negatives are handled. Specifically, popular items (track 1) are being downweighted in the loss calculation. This, combined with the uniform sampling of negatives, means their impact is drastically reduced, inadvertently reinforcing popularity bias.

Recorded reasoning summary 51 words

Revising Negative Sampling Logic

I'm reassessing how in-batch negatives function. It appears my current uniform sampling from unique targets, rather than proportional to frequency, is the key issue. I'm exploring the standard literature to ensure the in-batch negative sampling and subsequent loss calculations accurately reflect proportional sampling for effective bias correction.

Recorded reasoning summary 57 words

Adjusting Scoring Weights

I'm realizing that my scoring function needs adjustment. The formula $s'(u_i, v_j) = s(u_i, v_j) - \log p(v_j)$ is crucial for correcting sampling bias, ensuring that rankings reflect true relevance and not just popularity. I'm investigating how the codebase applies this, noting the mention of "sample-weighted binary cross entropy" and "propensity-corrected unique in-batch negatives."

Adjusting Loss Weights

I've discovered that the loss calculation incorrectly downweights popular items when they appear as negatives. This mechanism, intended to correct for sampling bias, is actually amplifying popularity bias by significantly reducing the penalty for predicting popular items.

Recorded reasoning summary 56 words

Revising Loss Function

I'm realizing the baseline's approach to popularity correction is flawed. Instead of directly adjusting logits with $-\log p$, it uses inverse propensity weighting within a Binary Cross Entropy loss.

Recorded reasoning summary 52 words

Analyzing Candidate Pools

I'm realizing the core task is unseen track recommendation. My validation and testing candidate sets strictly exclude previously encountered items, meaning I must focus on genuine discovery. This clarifies the importance of accurately representing interactions and the potential pitfalls of training on data that mirrors validation/test sets too closely.

Recorded reasoning summary 42 words

Revising Weighting Logic

I'm realizing the "organic-strong" weighting scheme assigns equal importance to all listens, including repeats. This is problematic as repeat listens cannot represent genuine discovery, yet they're being weighted equally. I need to adjust this to specifically downweight repeat listens.

Recorded reasoning summary 48 words

Analyzing Discovery Weighting

I'm examining the "discovery-graded" weighting scheme. It appears to fetch "organic-like outcomes" and uses a "discovery horizon" to grade interactions. I need to understand precisely how this grading is applied to historical data and if repeat listens are being correctly handled or downweighted as suspected.

Recorded reasoning summary 31 words

Adjusting Discovery Weighting

I'm refining how repeat listens are handled. The current "ordinary\_target\_weight" is applied to them, preventing them from being considered genuine discovery outcomes and thus correctly downweighting their influence.

Understanding Retrieval Loss Functions

I'm realizing that retrievers are trained using Sampled Softmax or InfoNCE (Cross-Entropy), not Binary Cross-Entropy (BCE).

Revisiting Sampling Logic

I'm reassessing the core mathematical objective of in-batch negative sampling, particularly how log-Q correction impacts logits.

Recorded reasoning summary 58 words

Correcting Logit Bias

I'm now confirming that the backward call correctly propagates gradients through the GRU for any scalar loss sum, including when using InfoNCE. This also applies to validation_loss calculation in evaluate_validation_bce, ensuring early stopping based on validation InfoNCE loss is accurate. I'm also investigating the sampling logic for negatives in draw_full_history_filtered_negatives.

Refining Sampling Strategy

I'm now questioning the necessity of using unique_targets for sampling in-batch negatives. My current hypothesis is that sampling directly from targets_cpu might naturally increase the probability of selecting more frequent items, thereby addressing popularity bias without explicit weighting. I'm also considering how to handle cases where a sampled negative might inadvertently be the actual target.

Exploring Loss Functions

I've been investigating the impact of different loss functions on model performance. Specifically, I'm now focused on comparing Softmax/InfoNCE loss against BCE loss and exploring the efficacy of various negative sampling strategies, including popularity-based, uniform, and in-batch negatives, along with hard negatives derived from user dislikes. I am planning an experiment to test InfoNCE loss.

Refining Loss Calculations

I'm now diving into the specifics of the InfoNCE loss implementation. I'm carefully examining how the corrected_negative_loss interacts with the F.cross_entropy function, especially when incorporating proposal distribution corrections (log_Q) and temperature scaling. My next step is to ensure this correction is applied correctly within the sampled softmax framework.

Testing InfoNCE Objective

I'm now focused on empirically validating the InfoNCE loss. I plan to introduce an --objective flag to train_current_model.py to easily switch between BCE and InfoNCE, and will then run an immediate validation test. My initial thoughts suggest that F.cross_entropy may offer a performance advantage over a manual InfoNCE implementation due to its optimized C++ kernel.

Optimizing InfoNCE Training

I'm now investigating how cross_entropy's fused C++ kernel could accelerate InfoNCE, potentially outperforming manual implementations. I'm exploring adding an --objective flag to train_current_model.py for easy switching. My current focus is on determining an optimal tau value by examining logit differences and standard two-tower retrieval temperature values, considering that my model's vectors are not unit-normalized.

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.
