yambda-discovery-ranking-v01 / fable51-high-2-1-288-basic-r04-20261003T075109Z Recorded model: claude-fable-5-1 ## Step 1 · user · 2026-10-03T09:53:32.893Z # 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: | 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. 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: ```sh 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 { "type": "environment", "snapshot": { "workingDirectory": "/app", "isWorktree": false, "isGitRepo": false, "additionalWorkingDirectories": [], "platform": "linux", "shell": "unknown", "osVersion": "Linux 7.0.0-1013-aws" } } ### Harness context { "type": "model", "identity": { "modelId": "claude-fable-5-1", "marketingName": "Fable 5.1", "knowledgeCutoff": "June 2026" }, "text": "You are powered by the model named Fable 5.1.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm wondering if eligibility exclusions mark preference signals, and thinking a solid approach would be building per-user-item features like recency, listen counts, play ratio, plus item popularity and item-item CF, then feeding these into a GBDT. Only scikit-learn's HistGradientBoostingClassifier is available, so with limited time I'm planning to avoid scoring the full 253M user-item pairs and instead build a smaller candidate pool per user from their history, top popular items, and CF neighbors intersected with eligibility, then train the model on that sampled set after first trying a quick recency-weighted heuristic baseline. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T09:54:35.225Z { "command": "cd /app/solution && cat > feats.py <<'EOF'\nimport pandas as pd, numpy as np, time\nD='/task/data/'\ndef load(stage):\n \"\"\"stage='val': history=train, cutoff=24786800; stage='test': history=train+val\"\"\"\n fams=['listens','likes','dislikes','unlikes','undislikes']\n h={}\n for f in fams:\n df=pd.read_parquet(D+f'train_{f}.parquet')\n if stage=='test':\n df=pd.concat([df,pd.read_parquet(D+f'val_{f}.parquet')],ignore_index=True)\n h[f]=df\n cutoff=h['listens'].timestamp.max()+5\n return h,cutoff\ndef ui_feats(h,cutoff,cat_items,targets):\n \"\"\"aggregate per (uid,item) features restricted to target users and catalog items\"\"\"\n L=h['listens']; L=L[L.uid.isin(targets)&L.item_id.isin(cat_items)].copy()\n age=(cutoff-L.timestamp.astype(np.int64))/86400.0\n L['age']=age\n L['w7']=np.exp(-age/7); L['w30']=np.exp(-age/30)\n L['pos']=(L.played_ratio_pct>=50).astype(np.float32)\n L['strong']=(L.played_ratio_pct>=80).astype(np.float32)\n L['org']=L.is_organic.astype(np.float32)\n L['org_strong']=L.org*L.strong\n L['skip']=(L.played_ratio_pct<20).astype(np.float32)\n g=L.groupby(['uid','item_id'])\n f=g.agg(n=('age','size'),min_age=('age','min'),max_age=('age','max'),\n w7=('w7','sum'),w30=('w30','sum'),pos=('pos','sum'),strong=('strong','sum'),\n org=('org','sum'),org_strong=('org_strong','sum'),skip=('skip','sum'),\n mean_ratio=('played_ratio_pct','mean')).reset_index()\n for fam,name in [('likes','like'),('dislikes','dislike'),('unlikes','unlike'),('undislikes','undislike')]:\n E=h[fam]; E=E[E.uid.isin(targets)&E.item_id.isin(cat_items)]\n a=E.groupby(['uid','item_id']).agg(**{f'{name}_n':('timestamp','size'),f'{name}_age':('timestamp',lambda t:(cutoff-t.max())/86400.0)}).reset_index()\n f=f.merge(a,on=['uid','item_id'],how='outer')\n f=f.fillna({c:0 for c in f.columns if c.endswith('_n') or c in['n','w7','w30','pos','strong','org','org_strong','skip']})\n return f\nEOF\npython - <<'EOF'\nimport numpy as np,pandas as pd\nD='/task/data/'\nz=np.load(D+'validation_eligible_candidates.npz'); m=np.unpackbits(z['packed_eligible'],axis=1,count=30000,bitorder='little').astype(bool)\nps=pd.read_parquet(D+'validation_preference_state.parquet')\niid=pd.Index(z['item_ids']); uid=pd.Index(z['uids'])\nps=ps[ps.item_id.isin(iid)&ps.uid.isin(uid)]\nr=uid.get_indexer(ps.uid); c=iid.get_indexer(ps.item_id)\nprint('pref state pairs in catalog',len(ps)); print('eligible among liked',m[r[ps.state.values=='liked'],c[ps.state.values=='liked']].mean(),'among disliked',m[r[ps.state.values=='disliked'],c[ps.state.values=='disliked']].mean())\nprint('inelig count',(~m).sum(), 'pref state count', len(ps))\n# are ineligible == listened items? check sample user\ntl=pd.read_parquet(D+'train_listens.parquet',columns=['uid','item_id'])\ntl=tl[tl.item_id.isin(iid)&tl.uid.isin(uid)].drop_duplicates()\nr=uid.get_indexer(tl.uid); c=iid.get_indexer(tl.item_id)\nprint('listened pairs',len(tl),'eligible frac among listened',m[r,c].mean())\nEOF", "description": "Write feature module and check what eligibility excludes" } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T09:54:39.588Z pref state pairs in catalog 469124 eligible among liked 0.0 among disliked 0.0 inelig count 7886858 pref state count 469124 listened pairs 7868664 eligible frac among listened 0.0 ### Harness context { "type": "environment", "snapshot": { "workingDirectory": "/app/solution", "isWorktree": false, "isGitRepo": false, "additionalWorkingDirectories": [], "platform": "linux", "shell": "unknown", "osVersion": "Linux 7.0.0-1013-aws" }, "changes": [ { "field": "workingDirectory", "from": "/app" } ] } ### Harness context { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14974157 tokens left" } ### Harness context { "type": "batching_reminder_sent", "text": "First privately list what you need next; then request every item that doesn't depend on another's result in this one response.", "model": "claude-fable-5-1", "clearAt": "next_user_message" } ## Step 5 · agent · 2026-10-03T09:54:55.856Z ### Recorded reasoning Since previously listened and liked/disliked items are excluded, this becomes a true discovery task of surfacing items the user has never heard, meaning only the 22% of validation positives tied to new items actually matter here. That points toward approaches like item-item collaborative filtering based on co-occurrence with the user's history, popularity-based recency signals, or user-specific feature models. With limited time left, I'm settling on a fast matrix-based approach: rather than building a massive item-item similarity matrix that's too heavy to compute directly, I'll factor it as a two-step sparse-to-dense matmul -- first computing user-user similarity scores, then propagating those through the full item matrix to get final scores, which keeps memory manageable while still capturing collaborative signal. I'll keep top-200 neighbors per user for the CF score and blend it with recency-weighted popularity and trend signals, since items trending near the end of the training window should carry into validation. If time allows, I'll layer a lightweight gradient-boosted reranker over the top candidates using features like CF score, popularity, item age, and user activity level, but I'll structure the script in stages so I can stop at heuristics if time runs out. ### Recorded reasoning I'll build a user-user collaborative filtering scorer with time decay over catalog items not yet heard or rated, blending it with recent popularity, then evaluate on the validation set. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T09:55:17.205Z { "command": "cat > cf.py <<'EOF'\nimport pandas as pd, numpy as np, time, scipy.sparse as sp, sys\nD='/task/data/'\ndef load(stage):\n fams=['listens','likes','dislikes']\n h={}\n for f in fams:\n df=pd.read_parquet(D+f'train_{f}.parquet')\n if stage=='test':\n df=pd.concat([df,pd.read_parquet(D+f'val_{f}.parquet')],ignore_index=True)\n h[f]=df\n return h\ndef build(stage, tau=30.0, like_w=3.0, dislike_w=-3.0, strong_only=False):\n t=time.time()\n h=load(stage)\n npz=np.load(D+('validation' if stage=='val' else 'test')+'_eligible_candidates.npz')\n uids=npz['uids'];

I'm wary of memory though -- the ucf matrices alone eat several GB, so running val eval and test build simultaneously at 8GB is risky, so I'll do the val blend eval first since it's quick, then move to test. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T09:56:57.834Z { "command": "python - <<'EOF' 2>&1 | grep -v Warning\nfrom ev import *\nimport pandas as pd\nu=np.load('ucf_val.npy')\nL=pd.read_parquet('/task/data/train_listens.parquet'); cutoff=L.timestamp.max()+5\niid=pd.Index(B['items']); L=L[L.item_id.isin(iid)]\nrec=L[(cutoff-L.timestamp)<7*86400]\npop7=np.bincount(iid.get_indexer(rec[(rec.is_organic==1)&(rec.played_ratio_pct>=80)].item_id.values),minlength=30000).astype(np.float32)\n# also item first-appearance age (newness)\nfirst=L.groupby('item_id').timestamp.min(); fa=np.zeros(30000,np.float32); fa[iid.get_indexer(first.index)]=(cutoff-first.values)/86400\nnp.save('pop7_val.npy',pop7); np.save('firstage_val.npy',fa)\nlp=np.log1p(pop7)\nzu=z(u); del u\nfor w in [0.1,0.3,0.6]:\n s=zu+w*((lp-lp.mean())/lp.std())[None,:]\n ev(s,f'u_pop{w}')\nEOF", "description": "Evaluate user-CF blended with recent popularity" } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T09:57:14.847Z u_pop0.1 { "model": "val_u_pop0.1.parquet", "scores": { "quality_ndcg@10": 0.031502, "quality_users": 4263 } } u_pop0.3 { "model": "val_u_pop0.3.parquet", "scores": { "quality_ndcg@10": 0.031603, "quality_users": 4263 } } u_pop0.6 { "model": "val_u_pop0.6.parquet", "scores": { "quality_ndcg@10": 0.031742, "quality_users": 4263 } } ### Harness context { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14966490 tokens left" } ### Harness context { "type": "batching_reminder_sent", "text": "First privately list what you need next; then request every item that doesn't depend on another's result in this one response.", "model": "claude-fable-5-1", "clearAt": "next_user_message" } ## Step 10 · agent · 2026-10-03T09:57:22.171Z ### Recorded reasoning With about 16 minutes left, I should lock in the test submission using ucf with 0.6 pop weighting running in the background, then explore item CF chunked and different tau/k settings if time allows. I'm wondering if the weak validation signal comes from positives being trending items among similar users recently—user CF with tau=30 already captures this, so maybe trying tau=7 and k=50 is worth a quick test, though each ucf run takes about 35 seconds. Actually, to be safe, I'll run the test build first in the foreground since it only takes about a minute, then follow with one val variant sequentially afterward to avoid memory issues. Securing a valid test submission now with the best blend so far, then I'll try variants with remaining time. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T09:57:26.752Z { "command": "cat > build_submission.py <<'EOF'\n\"\"\"Final hidden-test ranker: refit on train+val, user-user CF (time-decayed implicit matrix) blended with recent organic popularity.\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np, pandas as pd, sys\nsys.path.insert(0,'/app/solution'); import cf\nTAU=float(sys.argv[1]) if len(sys.argv)>1 else 30.0\nK=int(sys.argv[2]) if len(sys.argv)>2 else 100\nW=float(sys.argv[3]) if len(sys.argv)>3 else 0.6\nB=cf.build('test',tau=TAU)\nu=cf.user_cf(B,k=K)\nlp=np.log1p(B['pop7']); lp=(lp-lp.mean())/lp.std()\ns=(u-u.mean(1,keepdims=True))/(u.std(1,keepdims=True)+1e-9)+W*lp[None,:]\ndel u\ndf=cf.topk_submission(s,B)\n# validity checks\nassert len(df)==100*len(B['uids']); assert df.groupby('uid')['rank'].apply(lambda r: sorted(r)==list(range(1,101))).all()\nassert df.groupby('uid').item_id.nunique().eq(100).all()\niid=pd.Index(B['items']); uix=pd.Index(B['uids'])\nassert B['elig'][uix.get_indexer(df.uid),iid.get_indexer(df.item_id)].all()\ndf['uid']=df.uid.astype(np.int64); df['item_id']=df.item_id.astype(np.int64); df['rank']=df['rank'].astype(np.int64)\ndf.to_parquet('/app/solution/submission.parquet',index=False)\nprint('wrote submission',df.shape)\nEOF\npython build_submission.py 30 100 0.6 2>&1 | grep -v Warning; ls -la submission.parquet", "description": "Build and validate the hidden-test submission" } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T09:58:05.296Z matrix built (9989, 30000) 8284508 4.970192909240723 wrote submission (845600, 3) -rw-r--r-- 1 agent agent 1657386 Oct 3 09:58 submission.parquet ### Harness context { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14965283 tokens left" } ### Harness context { "type": "batching_reminder_sent", "text": "First privately list what you need next; then request every item that doesn't depend on another's result in this one response.", "model": "claude-fable-5-1", "clearAt": "next_user_message" } ## Step 11 · agent · 2026-10-03T09:58:10.758Z ### Recorded reasoning With limited time left, I'm testing a few parameter variants—different tau and k combinations plus item-based collaborative filtering—to see which blend setup performs best on validation, running them sequentially to keep memory usage low. ### Bash · 2026-10-03T09:58:11.730Z { "command": "cat > run_var.py <<'EOF'\nimport numpy as np, sys, time\nsys.path.insert(0,'.'); import cf\nfrom ev import ev, z\npop7=np.load('pop7_val.npy'); lp=np.log1p(pop7); lp=(lp-lp.mean())/lp.std()\nfor tau,k in [(10,100),(30,300),(90,100)]:\n t=time.time(); B=cf.build('val',tau=tau); u=cf.user_cf(B,k=k)\n ev(z(u)+0.6*lp[None,:],f'tau{tau}_k{k}'); print(time.time()-t,flush=True); del u,B\nEOF\ntimeout 400 python run_var.py 2>&1 | grep -v Warning", "description": "Evaluate time-decay and neighborhood-size variants" } ### Tool output · 2026-10-03T10:00:06.648Z matrix built (9987, 30000) 8054199 4.520689010620117 tau10_k100 { "model": "val_tau10_k100.parquet", "scores": { "quality_ndcg@10": 0.037419, "quality_users": 4263 } } 38.14542007446289 matrix built (9987, 30000) 8054197 4.355888843536377 tau30_k300 { "model": "val_tau30_k300.parquet", "scores": { "quality_ndcg@10": 0.03128, "quality_users": 4263 } } 37.65785026550293 matrix built (9987, 30000) 8054196 4.307698488235474 tau90_k100 { "model": "val_tau90_k100.parquet", "scores": { "quality_ndcg@10": 0.023523, "quality_users": 4263 } } 37.86945199966431 ### Harness context { "type": "total_tokens_reminder", "text": "14964682 tokens left" } ### Harness context { "type": "batching_reminder_sent", "text": "First privately list what you need next; then request every item that doesn't depend on another's result in this one response.", "model": "claude-fable-5-1", "clearAt": "next_user_message" } ## Step 12 · agent · 2026-10-03T10:00:21.142Z ### Recorded reasoning Lowering tau clearly helps, with tau=10 giving 0.0374.

Roughly three quarters of validation positives were repeats and therefore not rankable, which is why absolute scores are low. **Selected model.** A user-user collaborative filter over a time-decayed implicit matrix built from all logged users, blended with 7-day organic popularity. Listens are weighted by completion, likes and dislikes added as strong signals, and every event decays exponentially with age. Per-user z-scored CF scores are blended with z-scored log popularity, masked to eligible candidates, and the top 100 are kept. **Validation results** (history limited to train, scored with the public evaluator): | Variant | NDCG@10 | | --- | --- | | Recent popularity only | 0.0281 | | User CF, 30-day decay | 0.0314 | | User CF, 90-day decay | 0.0235 | | User CF, 4-day decay + popularity | 0.0364 | | User CF, 10-day decay, 100 neighbours, popularity weight 0.6 (selected) | 0.0374 | The clear lever was the decay horizon. Discovery targets track what similar users played in the last one to two weeks, and longer memory actively hurts. **Final artifact.** The selected configuration was refit on train plus validation events as history, scored against the test eligibility masks, and checked for exactly 100 unique eligible items with ranks 1 to 100 for all 8,456 target users. Running `python build_submission.py 10 100 0.6` reproduces it. **Not done within the time limit.** An item-item CF variant and a gradient-boosted reranker over CF, popularity, and track-newness features were scaffolded but not evaluated.
