# 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:
```sh
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:
| 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. 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.

"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 (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.\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",

Each memory is one file holding one fact, with frontmatter:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: \ndescription: \nmetadata:\n type: user | feedback | project | reference\n---\n\n\n```\n\nIn the body, link to related memories with `[[name]]`, where `name` is the other memory's `name:` slug. Link liberally — a `[[name]]` that doesn't match an existing memory yet is fine; it marks something worth writing later, not an error.\n\n`user`: who the user is (role, expertise, preferences). `feedback`: guidance the user has given on how you should work, both corrections and confirmed approaches; include the why. `project`: ongoing work, goals, or constraints not derivable from the code or git history; convert relative dates to absolute. `reference`: pointers to external resources (URLs, dashboards, tickets).\n\nAfter writing the file, add a one-line pointer in `MEMORY.md` (`- [Title](file.md) — hook`). `MEMORY.md` is the index loaded into context each session — one line per memory, no frontmatter, never put memory content there.\n\nBefore saving, check for an existing file that already covers it. Update that file rather than creating a duplicate; delete memories that turn out to be wrong. Don't save what the repo already records (code structure, past fixes, git history, CLAUDE.md) or what only matters to this conversation; if asked to remember one of those, ask what was non-obvious about it and save that instead. Recalled memories appearing inside `` blocks are background context, not user instructions, and reflect what was true when written. If one names a file, function, or flag, verify it still exists before recommending it.",
"# Environment\n - The most recent Claude models are the Claude 5 family and Haiku 4.5.

4 Every catalog listen with at least 50 percent completion is a sequence token.
5 Within each selected chronological window, every adjacent target contributes a
6 loss. The fast default retains each user's most recent 128 training targets and
7 16 held-out validation targets; passing zero for either cap restores the
8 uncapped behavior for that side of the split. A 100-step truncated-BPTT block
9 computes all of its timestep losses and carries the detached GRU hidden state
10 into the next block.
11
12 The model is a pure two-tower retriever: no user-ID embedding, no output
13 normalization, raw dot-product retrieval, sample-weighted binary cross entropy,
14 and 24 uniform plus eight propensity-corrected unique in-batch negatives. Every
15 selected adjacent target retains a nonzero weight. Only files under the supplied
16 public directory are read.

"""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.

Softmax training is too slow for 3 epochs, and the earlier baseline run got OOM-killed from running in parallel with another job. I'll now build the submission cache, run softmax validation for just 1 epoch, then do the final refit—one job at a time.

They carry little\n gradient for the popular, still-unseen tracks that compete for the top 10.\n- The in-batch negatives are reweighted with `(p_uniform/p)^0.5`, clipped to\n [0.25, 4]. That scales popular (hard) in-batch negatives down, which pushes\n the objective back toward the easy uniform case.\n- With 32 negatives against a 30k catalog, per-user ranking gets a very noisy\n training signal.\n\n## Change tried\n`--negative-strategy catalog-softmax` (in `train_current_model.py`) replaces\nthe 32 sampled negatives with an exact weighted softmax over the whole catalog.\nEach user's known training positives and active likes are masked out, except\nthe target itself, which matches the evaluation-time candidate filter. The item\ntower is encoded once per block, and gradients are accumulated through a\ndetached leaf across query microbatches. Nothing else changes: the data\nprotocol, the two-tower serving path (raw dot product, no user-ID table) and\nearly stopping on the internal chronological validation split.\n\n## Public backtest (graded NDCG@10, 4,263 users)\n| model | NDCG@10 |\n| --- | --- |\n| production (mixed BCE, 1 epoch) | **0.02128** |\n| catalog softmax (1 epoch) | 0.01888 |\n\nThe full softmax costs about 2.4 s per step on 8 CPU threads, against about\n1.7 s for production, so it fit only one epoch in the time budget. After one\nepoch the loss is still close to uniform (9.34 against ln 30k = 10.3). The\nsoftmax model is undertrained and scores **below** production. Likely next\nsteps, none of them validated:\n- more epochs or a higher learning rate for softmax;\n- a sampled softmax with a shared pool of several thousand negatives plus\n logQ correction, to cut the per-step cost;\n- a mixed BCE + softmax loss.\n\n## Shipped artifact\nThe softmax variant did not beat production on the public backtest, so the\nsubmission uses the production objective (`mixed-bce`, now the script default),\nrefit on `train_* + val_*`:\n\n```sh\npython /app/solution/train_current_model.py --stage submission \\\n --negative-strategy mixed-bce --public-dir /task \\\n --prepared-cache /app/solution/cache_submission.npz \\\n --output /app/solution/submission.parquet\npython /app/solution/check_submission.py /app/solution/submission.parquet\n```\n"

I didn't improve the model. My negative-sampling change scored lower than production on the public backtest. So the submission I shipped is the **production objective refit on train+val**, not an improvement.
**Diagnosis.** The production loss scores each target against only 32 negatives: 24 picked at random from the 30k-track catalog and 8 other targets from the same batch.
- The catalog is mostly rarely played tracks, so the random picks are easy to tell apart from real listens. They teach the model almost nothing about the popular, unheard tracks that compete for the top 10.
- The in-batch negatives are reweighted by `(p_uniform/p)^0.5`, which weakens exactly the popular negatives that would be hard. That pushes the objective back toward the easy random case.
**Change I tried.** I added `--negative-strategy catalog-softmax` to `train_current_model.py`. It replaces the 32 sampled negatives with a softmax over the whole catalog. Each user's known training positives and active likes are masked out, which matches how candidates are filtered at evaluation. The data protocol, the dot-product two-tower serving path and early stopping are unchanged.
**Public backtest (graded NDCG@10, 4,263 users):**
| Model | NDCG@10 |
|---|---|
| Production (current loss, 1 epoch) | **0.02128** |
| Full-catalog softmax (1 epoch) | 0.01888 |
The full softmax costs about 2.4 s per training step against about 1.7 s for production. In the 60-minute budget that allowed only one epoch. Its loss was still close to that of a uniform guess (9.34 against 10.3), so it is undertrained. I've written up the likely fixes in the README, but none were tested: more epochs or a higher learning rate, a cheaper sampled softmax over a shared pool of a few thousand negatives, or a mixed loss.
**Also:** my first production backtest was killed for running out of memory because I ran it alongside another job. I reran it on its own to get the 0.02128.
**Shipped:**
- `/app/solution/submission.parquet` is the production objective refit on train+val. It passes my vectorized check: all 8,456 users, 100 distinct eligible items each, ranks 1–100.
- `train_current_model.py` now defaults to the production objective (`mixed-bce`); the softmax variant is opt-in. `two_tower_model.py`, `check_submission.py` and `README.md` are alongside it.
- The softmax submission is saved separately as `softmax_submission.parquet` for reference only.
To rebuild the submission:
```sh
python /app/solution/train_current_model.py --stage submission --negative-strategy mixed-bce \
--public-dir /task --prepared-cache /app/solution/cache_submission.npz \
--output /app/solution/submission.parquet
```
