# 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.

Analyzing Task Details
I'm currently dissecting the prompt, paying close attention to the machine learning task, competitive aspects, and specific constraints. My focus is on understanding the requirements and the provided workspace setup before proceeding further.
### Recorded reasoning summary
Investigating Workspace Constraints
I'm now focusing on the strict environment limitations: read-only directories, no new packages, and a tight time budget. My priority is to understand the evaluation script and available tools to quickly establish a baseline and ensure valid submissions are always accessible.

"""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.

Leveraging User-Item Matrix
My current focus is on constructing a comprehensive user-item matrix using a combination of `train_listens`, `train_likes`, and `validation_preference_state`.

### Recorded reasoning summary
Analyzing Pre-TFIDF Data
I'm examining performance metrics prior to addressing the TF-IDF issue. Initial runs with varying historical lengths and organization/stringency parameters show promising, though slightly lower, accuracy scores. I'm particularly noting the slight improvements seen with the 14-day historical window.
### Recorded reasoning summary
Improving Scoring Model
The model's score has significantly improved, exceeding a 3.3x baseline increase through cumulative adjustments like adding likes and weighting organic completion. I'm now investigating TF-IDF transformer errors, specifically the `log(0)` issue, and exploring alternative IDF calculation methods and normalization techniques. Further tuning of half-life, multipliers, like weights, and the inclusion of dislikes is planned.

### Recorded reasoning summary
Analyzing Engagement Patterns
I'm noticing a clear trend where a recency half-life of 10 days and higher organic/strong multipliers are driving better engagement metrics. It appears lower "like weight" values also contribute positively, suggesting overemphasis can dilute impact.
### Recorded reasoning summary
Refining Interaction Weighting
I'm now exploring the nuanced interaction of listen weights, specifically hypothesizing that over-weighting likes might be diluting their impact. I'm considering a low 'like_weight' and a significant disparity between organic and non-organic listen weights, potentially setting non-organic to 0.2 and organic to 1.0 for a 5.0x ratio.

Testing New Parameters
I've achieved a score of 0.03862 with the current configuration. My next steps involve exploring variations around `non_org` at 0.5 and 0.7, and `org` at 6.0 and 8.0. I'll also be adjusting the half-life to 8, 10, and 12 days to see how these impact performance.

Incorporating Recency Decay
I'm now considering incorporating recency decay for `train_likes`, as their timestamps offer valuable temporal information. I'm also exploring item frequency calibration to address potential biases in SVD scores and investigating ensembling various SVD models with different half-lives, alongside item-item similarity.
