Task instructions

Build a music-discovery ranker

Build the strongest ranking model you can for the "Made for You" shelf of a music streaming service. 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, fitted representation, example submission, or modeling architecture is supplied. Build and tune the best model you can, 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 builds the artifact and a concise /app/solution/README.md in /app/solution/. 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.
  • You have up to 30 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 (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. Pass --max-findings <n> to report up to n findings, or --max-findings all for every finding. The choice stays until you pass --max-findings default.\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- plugin-authoring: Make a mod: a live pane, band, status line, toast or hook inside Claude Code (terminal or desktop Code tab), written as a plugin of function hooks that hot-reloads in this session. Load before writing or debugging a hooks module.\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",

    "# Memory\n\nYou have a persistent file-based memory at `/logs/agent/sessions/projects/-app/memory/`. This directory already exists — write to it directly with the Write tool (do not run mkdir or check for its existence). Each memory is one file holding one fact, with frontmatter:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: <short-kebab-case-slug>\ndescription: <one-line summary, used to decide relevance during recall>\nmetadata:\n  type: user | feedback | project | reference\n---\n\n<the fact; for feedback/project, follow with **Why:** and **How to apply:** lines. Link related memories with [[their-name]].>\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 `<system-reminder>` 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.",

It can be toggled with /fast.",

    "When you have enough information to act, act. Do not re-derive facts already established in the conversation, re-litigate a decision the user has already made, or narrate options you will not pursue. If you are weighing a choice, give a recommendation, not an exhaustive survey",
    "# Delivering work\nDo ordinary work as asked, acting on the actual request rather than on speculation about what lies behind it. The requested scope is the deliverable — don't quietly narrow, widen, or transform it. Interpret ambiguity the way a careful colleague would: make routine judgment calls yourself, and check in only when different readings would lead to materially different work. If you find a real problem with the task as specified, state the concern in a sentence or two, then keep building: deliver the complete work under explicitly stated assumptions, flagging important factors for the user. Finish the whole task, not just easy parts — report completion only when fully done. If part of the scope turns out to be blocked or problematic, finish every other part in full and say explicitly what you left out and why — scaling the work down is the user's call, not yours. Stop short of actions or changes clearly beyond what the user's ask implies.\n\nIf you find an uncertainty mid-task, first do everything that doesn't depend on the answer; for what does, state your assumption or ask your question to the user at the right time. Reserve blocking questions — stopping with nothing delivered until the user answers — for cases where proceeding under any assumption would be unsafe or would make the work useless if wrong.\n\nIf you raise a concern about a request and the user repeats or reaffirms it, treat that as their decision, communicate this, and proceed with the full request. Be fair and factual in resolving disagreements about the premises, scope, or approach of the work. Refusals are only for requests that are genuinely harmful or clearly prohibited, not for ordinary work that merely touches a sensitive-sounding topic. If you decline, say so plainly in a sentence, offer the nearest thing you can do, and move on without moralizing or criticism. This applies to producing work products: it doesn't override necessary refusals or the need for confirmation on risky or destructive actions.",
    "# Writing for the user\nThe user may not see your tool calls, tool results, or the text you write between them. Only your final message reliably reaches them, so it has to stand on its own for a reader who knows the domain but didn't watch you work.\n\nRules for that message:\n- Lead with the answer or outcome. If something could not be verified, say so first. Keep it short by leaving things out, not by packing them in.\n- One idea per sentence, about 20 words, with a verb. Short does not mean clipped: a sentence beats a label with a colon. Start a new sentence instead of joining clauses with a semicolon.\n- No em-dashes, no parentheticals, no arrows.\n- State facts and conclusions. Do not comment on your own reasoning, and do not open by announcing that no tools were needed.\n- Do not refer to anything by a name you made up during the session. Expand uncommon acronyms the first time you use them. Say who wrote a message and what it said, not by number or label.\n- Keep code out of prose. Name a file, function, or flag only when the reader has to go there, at most one per sentence and two per paragraph. Describe the rest in words. Commands, snippets, and error text go in a fenced code block.\n- Keep numbers out of prose. A measurement or count goes in a short table or on its own line, and only if it changes what the reader does.\n- Use a bulleted or numbered list for parallel items: findings, steps, options, files to look at. One or two sentences per bullet, never a paragraph. Bold the first few words of a bullet or paragraph, never a whole sentence. A single point or a line of argument stays in prose.\n- No headers in a message under about 500 words. Above that, at most three. If the user asks for no formatting, use none.\n- Stop when the content stops. No closing offer, no restating what you did.",
    "You are operating autonomously. The user is not watching in real time and cannot answer questions mid-task, so asking 'Want me to…?' or 'Shall I…?' will block the work. For reversible actions that follow from the original request, proceed without asking. Stop only for destructive actions or genuine scope changes the user must decide. Offering follow-ups after the task is done is fine; asking permission before doing the work is not.\n\nException: when the user is describing a problem, asking a question, or thinking out loud rather than requesting a change, the deliverable is your assessment. Report your findings and stop. Don't apply a fix until they ask for one.\n\nBefore ending your turn, check your last paragraph. If it is a plan, an analysis, a question, a list of next steps, or a promise about work you have not done ('I'll…', 'let me know when…'), do that work now with tool calls. That includes retrying after errors and gathering missing information yourself. Do not stop because the context or session is long. End your turn only when the task is complete or you are blocked on input only the user can provide.\n\nBefore running a command that changes system state (such as restarts, deletes, or config edits), check that the evidence actually supports that specific action.

"""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.

Stop short of actions or changes clearly beyond what the user's ask implies.\n\nIf you find an uncertainty mid-task, first do everything that doesn't depend on the answer; for what does, state your assumption or ask your question to the user at the right time. Reserve blocking questions — stopping with nothing delivered until the user answers — for cases where proceeding under any assumption would be unsafe or would make the work useless if wrong.\n\nIf you raise a concern about a request and the user repeats or reaffirms it, treat that as their decision, communicate this, and proceed with the full request. Be fair and factual in resolving disagreements about the premises, scope, or approach of the work. Refusals are only for requests that are genuinely harmful or clearly prohibited, not for ordinary work that merely touches a sensitive-sounding topic. If you decline, say so plainly in a sentence, offer the nearest thing you can do, and move on without moralizing or criticism. This applies to producing work products: it doesn't override necessary refusals or the need for confirmation on risky or destructive actions.",
    "# Writing for the user\nThe user may not see your tool calls, tool results, or the text you write between them. Only your final message reliably reaches them, so it has to stand on its own for a reader who knows the domain but didn't watch you work.\n\nRules for that message:\n- Lead with the answer or outcome. If something could not be verified, say so first. Keep it short by leaving things out, not by packing them in.\n- One idea per sentence, about 20 words, with a verb. Short does not mean clipped: a sentence beats a label with a colon. Start a new sentence instead of joining clauses with a semicolon.\n- No em-dashes, no parentheticals, no arrows.\n- State facts and conclusions. Do not comment on your own reasoning, and do not open by announcing that no tools were needed.\n- Do not refer to anything by a name you made up during the session. Expand uncommon acronyms the first time you use them. Say who wrote a message and what it said, not by number or label.\n- Keep code out of prose. Name a file, function, or flag only when the reader has to go there, at most one per sentence and two per paragraph. Describe the rest in words. Commands, snippets, and error text go in a fenced code block.\n- Keep numbers out of prose. A measurement or count goes in a short table or on its own line, and only if it changes what the reader does.\n- Use a bulleted or numbered list for parallel items: findings, steps, options, files to look at. One or two sentences per bullet, never a paragraph. Bold the first few words of a bullet or paragraph, never a whole sentence. A single point or a line of argument stays in prose.\n- No headers in a message under about 500 words. Above that, at most three. If the user asks for no formatting, use none.\n- Stop when the content stops. No closing offer, no restating what you did.",
    "You are operating autonomously. The user is not watching in real time and cannot answer questions mid-task, so asking 'Want me to…?' or 'Shall I…?' will block the work. For reversible actions that follow from the original request, proceed without asking. Stop only for destructive actions or genuine scope changes the user must decide. Offering follow-ups after the task is done is fine; asking permission before doing the work is not.\n\nException: when the user is describing a problem, asking a question, or thinking out loud rather than requesting a change, the deliverable is your assessment. Report your findings and stop. Don't apply a fix until they ask for one.\n\nBefore ending your turn, check your last paragraph. If it is a plan, an analysis, a question, a list of next steps, or a promise about work you have not done ('I'll…', 'let me know when…'), do that work now with tool calls. That includes retrying after errors and gathering missing information yourself. Do not stop because the context or session is long. End your turn only when the task is complete or you are blocked on input only the user can provide.\n\nBefore running a command that changes system state (such as restarts, deletes, or config edits), check that the evidence actually supports that specific action. A signal that pattern-matches to a known failure may have a different cause.",

Check eligibility semantics and validation label statistics

Recorded reasoning 37 words

I'm wondering what's excluded from eligibility—probably items the user already interacted with, meaning this is a pure discovery problem where the ranker needs to surface new items rather than ones already seen, essentially a collaborative filtering task.

Build and run kNN/popularity feature generation for validation stage

+01:03
Recorded reasoning 144 words

Eligibility means catalog items the user hasn't interacted with during training—roughly 4263 users with relevant items, about 40k relevant pairs, averaging around 10 per user. With 30 minutes to work with, I'm weighing item-item collaborative filtering blended with popularity against EASE on the 30k-item catalog, though the full dense Gram matrix would be around 3.6GB in float32 and the cubic complexity of inverting it gives me pause.

I'm realizing user-kNN is much cheaper since only ~9238 users have full catalog coverage, making the user similarity matrix tiny compared to item-item, so scoring via similarity times the interaction matrix should be fast. I'll build both user-kNN and item-kNN plus a recency-weighted popularity signal, blending them based on validation NDCG, and construct the interaction matrix with positive/negative weights from listens, likes, and dislikes, time-decayed, pulling in all users as neighbors rather than just the target set.

Recorded reasoning 34 words

I'll treat this as a cold-pair discovery problem since eligibility means catalog items the user never touched. I'll build a blend of user-kNN, item-kNN, and recent-popularity, tune it on validation, then refit on train+val.

Check whether feature build produced outputs

+02:17
Recorded reasoning 50 words

The item_knn step seems stuck or crashed, with output trailing off oddly. I realize the item-item Gram matrix at 30000x30000 built from 9221 users could balloon to billions of nonzeros if users have hundreds of items each, so I need to cap that and check whether the process actually failed.

Patch item-kNN to blocked dense computation and rerun validation build

+02:25
Recorded reasoning 103 words

The item-kNN Gram matrix is likely too dense and causing the OOM kill, so I should replace it with a cheaper approach: computing the Gram matrix in blocks to keep only top-k per row, or using randomized truncated SVD for a latent-factor score instead, since SVD on this sparse 9221x30000 matrix should run quickly with scipy.

Computing the dense Gram matrix in blocks of 2000 rows at a time should take under a minute with BLAS across 8 cores. I'll also add the SVD-based latent factor approach since it's cheap, and make sure to save intermediate results like U before the process crashes.

Model text

The item-kNN Gram blew memory. I'll compute it in dense row blocks with top-k pruning, add a truncated-SVD score, and save each component as it's produced.

Evaluate individual components and grid-search blend weights on validation

+05:49
Recorded reasoning 85 words

The item kNN step seems to have crashed silently without any error trace, which suggests an OOM kill. I'm estimating memory usage from the dense matrices involved—Xn, U, V, and the G blocks—to figure out whether that's plausible, though the numbers don't obviously add up to an overflow.

Rather than keep debugging this, with time running short I'll switch strategy: run the blending evaluation on U, V, P now while kicking off item kNN separately in the background so I'm not blocked waiting on it.

Start background test-stage build that writes a baseline submission

+07:27
Recorded reasoning 80 words

The scores are quite low, around 0.03, so discovery is proving difficult. Given I'm running low on time, my priority now is to secure a safe submission with U and P right away before attempting further improvements, possibly skipping the SVD step to save time.

I'll also try quick experiments like user-kNN variations (k, half-life) and popularity half-life tweaks since these are cheap to test, while running the test build in the background with item-kNN wrapped safely to avoid crashes.

Model text

Baseline user-kNN plus popularity gives ~0.030 NDCG@10. I'll secure a valid test submission now in the background, and in parallel tune the kNN and popularity settings on validation.

I should rework this to be more memory-efficient — using float32 and writing the submission in chunks.

Running low on time, around 16 minutes used, so I'll rewrite the final step to compute U and z in-place as float32 and rank in chunks, then run the test build in the foreground with the best config: PH=3 popularity, U k=200, half 30, WU=0.5, WP=1.0.

Model text

The background build was OOM-killed at the final blending step, so I'll make the scoring step memory-lean (float32, chunked) and run it in the foreground.

Structurally validate submission, then sweep decay, neighbor count, and popularity weight

+09:09
Recorded reasoning 88 words

With the baseline saved at around 18 minutes in, I want to quickly validate it structurally and generate a validation.parquet to confirm the public evaluator works. With the remaining ten minutes or so, I'll try tuning k and half-life using memory-lean code on validation, running one setting at a time since each pass takes about 25 seconds plus evaluation time.

Since memory is tight, I should avoid running things concurrently -- instead I'll do the cheap structural check first, then fold the tuning sweep into a single script.

Model text

Baseline submission is written. Next I'll validate it structurally against the test candidate sets and run a quick memory-lean tuning sweep on validation for the neighbor count and decay.

Sweep shorter half-lives with 800 neighbors

+12:30
Recorded reasoning 44 words

Shorter half-lives clearly perform better, so I'm running a quick final sweep with half-life values of 2-4 days and weight power 2-4, keeping k fixed at 800 since time is running short — just a couple more runs before refitting on the test set.

Model text

Shorter decay helps a lot (7-day half-life, 800 neighbors, heavier popularity). One more quick sweep at shorter half-lives, then I'll refit the best on train+val.

# Made-for-You discovery ranker

Eligibility excludes every catalog track a user already touched, so this is a
cold-pair discovery problem. The model is a blend of two signals:

1. **Time-decayed user-kNN.** User x catalog-item matrix built from listens with
   >=50% completion (organic x1.5), likes (x3) and dislikes (-2), each weighted
   by an exponential decay with a 3-day half-life relative to the history
   cutoff. Cosine similarity over all 9.2k users; top-800 neighbours per target
   user; score = neighbour-weighted item sums, z-scored per user.
2. **Recent organic popularity.** Organic listens with >=80% completion, decayed
   with a 3-day half-life, log1p then z-scored over the catalog.

Final score = 0.5 * z(userKNN) + 4.0 * z(popularity), masked to the user's
eligible candidate set, top-100 written.

Validation (train history -> val outcomes, public evaluator objective): a
30-day half-life / 200-neighbour blend scored 0.0305 NDCG@10; the selected
settings score 0.0426. Truncated SVD and blocked item-kNN were tried but did
not help / exceeded memory in the time budget.

Build: `HALF=3 UK=800 PHALF=3 WU=0.5 WP=4.0 python build.py test` writes
`submission.parquet` (refit on train+val). `python build.py val` plus
`tune2.py` reproduce the validation sweep. `submission_baseline.parquet` is the
earlier 30-day-half-life fallback.

Model text

Final submission is written and validated at /app/solution/submission.parquet, refit on train plus validation history.

What the ranker is. Eligibility excludes every catalog track the user has already touched, so this is pure cold-pair discovery. The model blends two per-user z-scored signals:

  • Time-decayed user-kNN. Listens with at least 50% completion, likes, and dislikes form a user-by-catalog matrix with a 3-day exponential half-life. Cosine similarity over all users, top 800 neighbors, neighbor-weighted item sums.
  • Recent organic popularity. Organic listens with at least 80% completion, 3-day half-life, log-scaled.

Validation results (train history, val outcomes, public objective):

ConfigurationNDCG@10
30-day half-life, 200 neighbors, pop weight 10.0305
7-day half-life, 800 neighbors, pop weight 20.0409
3-day half-life, 800 neighbors, pop weight 4 (selected)0.0426

Recency dominated everything else. Shorter decay and heavier popularity weight improved consistently. Truncated SVD underperformed user-kNN and did not help in the blend. A blocked item-kNN was attempted but got OOM-killed under the time budget, so it was dropped.

**Artifacts in /app/solution/:** build.py builds either stage, tune2.py reproduces the sweep, README.md documents the approach and the exact command, and submission_baseline.parquet is the earlier fallback. The final file passed the shared structural validator and every item is in the user's test candidate set.
