From 7e0b0fb9a5604b10ea46df01d9f8d3c931a13f22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:41:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20adaptive=20atom=20position=20training?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20entropy=20gradient=20+=20SGD=20decay?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit atom_position_gradient kernel computes entropy-based gradient for spacing_raw parameters. SGD decay toward uniform (lr=1e-3, every 50 steps) prevents atom positions from drifting. Concentrates atoms where return distribution has mass.
