//! Tree-Parzen Estimator (TPE) for Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization
//!
//! TPE builds separate density models for "good" and "bad" trial parameters,
//! then suggests new points by maximizing Expected Improvement = l(x)/g(x).
//!
//! ## Algorithm
//!
//! 1. Run N initial random trials (Latin Hypercube Sampling)
//! 2. After enough data, split trials into "good" (top gamma=25%) and "bad" (bottom 75%)
//! 3. Build separate per-dimension kernel density estimates (KDEs) for good and bad groups
//! 4. Suggest next point by sampling from the "good" KDE and scoring by EI = l(x)/g(x)
//! 5. The optimizer MINIMIZES the objective (lower = better)
//!
//! ## References
//!
//! Bergstra, J., Bardenet, R., Bengio, Y., & Kegl, B. (2011).

//! Adaptive entropy coefficient for PPO (SAC-style alpha tuning)
//!
//! Auto-tunes exploration by learning an entropy coefficient that maintains
//! a target entropy level. High during regime changes (uncertain), low during
//! stable trends (confident).
//!
//! # Algorithm (discrete SAC variant)
//!
//! For discrete action spaces, the policy entropy `H(pi) = -E[log pi(a|s)]` is
//! always non-negative (between 0 and `ln(num_actions)`). The adaptive coefficient
//! tunes alpha so that entropy stays near a target fraction of the maximum.
//!
//! 1. Target entropy `H* = target_ratio * ln(num_actions)` (positive)
//! 2. Learnable parameter: `log(alpha)` (initialized from `initial_alpha`)
//! 3. Current entropy estimate: `-mean_log_pi` (positive when policy is stochastic)
//! 4. Loss: `alpha_loss = alpha * (entropy - H*) = alpha * (-mean_log_pi - H*)`
//! - This is minimized: when entropy > H*, gradient pushes alpha down (less bonus).
//! - When entropy < H*, gradient pushes alpha up (more bonus).
//! 5. Step alpha optimizer on `alpha_loss`
//! 6. Use `alpha = exp(log_alpha)` as entropy coefficient in PPO loss

# DQN Hyperopt Improvements Design
## Problem Statement
The current DQN hyperparameter optimization has three critical failures:
1. **"Do Nothing" convergence (57% of trials)**: 8/14 trials converge to objective=44.86 (penalty value), producing 0 trades. PSO with 20 particles in 45D space can't explore effectively. Cliff penalties (-10.0 entropy, 1000.0 completion) give zero gradient signal.
2. **Catastrophic leverage (29% of trials)**: 4/14 trials produce >100% max drawdown. `max_position_absolute` range [4.0, 8.0] allows 8x leverage on $100K. No drawdown circuit breaker during backtest evaluation.
3. **Memory growth (844-1435 MB/trial)**: No explicit CUDA cache clearing between trials. `drop()` + 100ms sleep is insufficient for Candle's CUDA allocator.
## Approach: A+B (Surgical Fixes + Bayesian Optimizer)
### Part A: Objective Function & Environment Fixes
#### A1. Smooth Penalties (replace cliffs)
**Current**: Binary cliff penalties destroy PSO gradient signal.
```
entropy < 0.5 → -10.0 (cliff)
entropy >= 0.5 → 0.0 (cliff)
completion < min_epochs → 1000.0 (dominates everything)
```
**Proposed**: Smooth, gradient-friendly penalties.
```
diversity_penalty = -5.0 * max(0, 1.0 - entropy/1.0)² # Quadratic, smooth at boundary
completion_penalty = 50.0 * max(0, 1.0 - epochs/min_epochs) # Linear scale, not 1000x
```
**Files**: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs` — `calculate_diversity_penalty()` (line 1840), `calculate_completion_penalty()` (line 2198)
#### A2. Position Limit Enforcement
**Current**: `max_position_absolute` range [4.0, 8.0] with no drawdown guard.
**Proposed**:
- Narrow search range to [1.0, 4.0] (max 4x leverage)
- Add drawdown circuit breaker in backtest: if drawdown > 20%, force-close all positions and halt trading for remainder of episode
- Wire into `execute_action_internal` in portfolio_tracker.rs
**Files**: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs` (search bounds line 476), `crates/ml/src/dqn/portfolio_tracker.rs` (execute_action_internal line 232)
#### A3. CUDA Memory Cleanup
**Current**: `drop()` + 100ms sleep. No CUDA synchronize or cache clear.
**Proposed**: After dropping trainer/metrics, call CUDA synchronize via Candle's backend, then force a GC pass. Add memory budget check — if usage exceeds 80% of available, trigger aggressive cleanup.
**Files**: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs` (cleanup block line 3076)
#### A4. Search Space Reduction (45D → ~25D)
Fix 20 parameters to validated defaults. Keep the parameters that genuinely affect trading performance in the search space.
**Keep in search (25D)**:
- Base: learning_rate, batch_size, gamma, buffer_size, hold_penalty_weight, max_position_absolute, huber_delta, entropy_coefficient, transaction_cost_multiplier (9)
- PER: per_alpha, per_beta_start (2)
- Rainbow: v_min, v_max, noisy_sigma_init, dueling_hidden_dim, n_steps, num_atoms (6)
- Risk: kelly_fractional, kelly_max_fraction, volatility_window (3)
- Training: weight_decay, curiosity_weight, tau, hidden_dim_base (4)
- Exploration: noisy_epsilon_floor (1)
**Fix to defaults (20D)**:
- minimum_profit_factor → 1.5 (midpoint)
- kelly_min_trades → 20 (validated)
- ensemble_size → 5, beta_variance → 0.5, beta_disagreement → 0.5, beta_entropy → 0.2, variance_cap → 1.0 (ensemble defaults)
- warmup_ratio → 0.0 (hyperopt trials too short)
- td_error_clamp_max → 10.0, batch_diversity_cooldown → 50.0 (validated)
- lr_decay_type → 0 (constant for short trials)
- sharpe_weight → 0.0 (already in objective)
- gae_lambda → 0.95 (standard)
- noisy_sigma_initial → 0.5, noisy_sigma_final → 0.3 (validated)
- norm_type → 1 (RMSNorm), activation_type → 1 (LeakyReLU)
- num_quantiles → 64, qr_kappa → 1.0 (QR-DQN defaults)
- count_bonus_coefficient → 0.1 (validated)
**Files**: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs` — `continuous_bounds()` (line 469), `from_continuous()` (line 549)
### Part B: Replace PSO with Bayesian Optimization (TPE)
#### B1. TPE Optimizer Implementation
Replace `ArgminOptimizer` (PSO) with a Tree-Parzen Estimator:
1. **Surrogate model**: Maintain two kernel density estimates (KDEs) — one for parameters from "good" trials (top γ=25%), one for "bad" trials
2. **Acquisition function**: Expected Improvement (EI) = l(x)/g(x) where l(x) is the good KDE and g(x) is the bad KDE
3. **Sampling**: Draw candidates from l(x), score by EI, pick best
4. **Initial exploration**: Keep LHS (Latin Hypercube Sampling) for first 5 trials
The `egobox` crate (already in the workspace) provides EGO (GP-based BO) as an alternative, but TPE scales better to 25D. We'll implement a lightweight TPE using the `statrs` crate for KDE.
**Architecture**:
```
ArgminOptimizer (PSO, 20 particles, 50 iters/restart)
↓ replace with
TpeOptimizer {
n_initial: 5, // LHS warmup
max_trials: 30, // Same budget
gamma: 0.25, // Top 25% = "good"
n_candidates: 100, // EI candidates per trial
bandwidth: "silverman" // KDE bandwidth selection
}
```
**Files**:
- New: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/tpe.rs` (~300 lines)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/optimizer.rs` (add TPE variant)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/mod.rs` (export)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/campaign.rs` (wire TPE)
- Modify CLI: `bin/fxt/src/commands/train/hyperopt.rs` (--optimizer=tpe flag)
#### B2. Trial History & Warm-Starting
TPE benefits from trial history across runs. Add JSON-based trial persistence:
- Save all (params, objective) pairs to `hyperopt_dir/trial_history.json`
- On restart, load history to seed TPE's KDE
- This makes interrupted runs resume intelligently instead of starting from scratch
**Files**: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/tpe.rs` (persistence methods)
## Non-Goals
- Changing the reward function or backtest environment (separate concern)
- Multi-GPU support (single L40S is the target)
- Changing the DQN architecture itself
- Modifying the FactoredAction space
## Expected Impact
| Metric | Current (PSO 45D) | Target (TPE 25D + fixes) |
|--------|-------------------|--------------------------|
| "Do nothing" rate | 57% (8/14) | <15% |
| Catastrophic DD rate | 29% (4/14) | <5% |
| Memory per trial | 844-1435 MB | <200 MB delta |
| Best Sharpe found | 1.73 (1 trial) | >2.0 consistently |
| Trials to find signal | ~7 | ~3-5 |
## Testing Strategy
- Unit tests for TPE KDE, EI acquisition, smooth penalties
- Integration test: 5-trial micro-hyperopt on synthetic data
- Regression: ensure existing PSO path still works (--optimizer=pso flag)

# DQN Hyperopt Improvements Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Fix "do nothing" convergence (57%), catastrophic leverage (29%), and memory leaks in DQN hyperopt by replacing cliff penalties with smooth gradients, enforcing position limits, cleaning CUDA memory, reducing search space from 45D→25D, and replacing PSO with TPE (Tree-Parzen Estimator).
**Architecture:** Surgical fixes to the objective function (Part A) + new TPE optimizer (Part B). Both are orthogonal — A fixes the landscape, B navigates it better. The existing PSO path is preserved behind a flag.
**Tech Stack:** Rust, Candle ML, statrs (KDE), serde_json (trial persistence)
---
## Phase 1: Smooth Penalties (Part A1)
### Task 1: Replace diversity cliff penalty with smooth quadratic
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs:1840-1860`
- Test: existing tests in same file
**Step 1: Write the failing test**
Add to the `tests` module at the bottom of `dqn.rs`:
```rust
#[test]
fn test_diversity_penalty_smooth() {
// Old behavior: cliff at 0.5 entropy
// New behavior: smooth quadratic, no cliff
// Zero entropy (100% single action) = maximum penalty
let penalty_zero = calculate_diversity_penalty(&[1.0, 0.0, 0.0]);
assert!(penalty_zero < -4.0, "Zero entropy should give strong penalty: {}", penalty_zero);
// Low entropy (80% single action) = moderate penalty
let penalty_low = calculate_diversity_penalty(&[0.8, 0.1, 0.1]);
assert!(penalty_low < -1.0, "Low entropy should give moderate penalty: {}", penalty_low);
assert!(penalty_low > penalty_zero, "Lower entropy = stronger penalty");
// Medium entropy (60% single action) = mild penalty
let penalty_mid = calculate_diversity_penalty(&[0.6, 0.2, 0.2]);
assert!(penalty_mid > -1.0, "Medium entropy should give mild penalty: {}", penalty_mid);
// High entropy (uniform) = no penalty
let penalty_uniform = calculate_diversity_penalty(&[0.33, 0.33, 0.34]);
assert!(penalty_uniform.abs() < 0.1, "Uniform should give ~0 penalty: {}", penalty_uniform);
// Gradient continuity: penalties should be monotonically ordered
assert!(penalty_uniform > penalty_mid);
assert!(penalty_mid > penalty_low);
assert!(penalty_low > penalty_zero);
}
```
**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib test_diversity_penalty_smooth -- --nocapture`
Expected: FAIL (current cliff function doesn't produce smooth gradient)
**Step 3: Implement smooth diversity penalty**
Replace `calculate_diversity_penalty` (lines 1840-1860):
```rust
fn calculate_diversity_penalty(action_distribution: &[f64; 3]) -> f64 {
let total_actions = 1000;
let action_counts: Vec<usize> = action_distribution
.iter()
.map(|&pct| (pct * total_actions as f64).round() as usize)
.collect();
let entropy = calculate_action_entropy(&*action_counts);
let max_entropy = (3.0_f64).log2(); // ~1.585
// Smooth quadratic penalty: -5.0 * (1 - entropy/max_entropy)²
// At entropy=0: -5.0, at entropy=max: 0.0
// Smooth gradient everywhere — no cliff
let normalized = (entropy / max_entropy).clamp(0.0, 1.0);
-5.0 * (1.0 - normalized).powi(2)
}
```
**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib test_diversity_penalty_smooth -- --nocapture`
Expected: PASS
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs
git commit -m "fix(hyperopt): replace diversity cliff penalty with smooth quadratic"
```
### Task 2: Replace completion cliff penalty with linear scale
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs:2198-2215`
**Step 1: Write the failing test**
```rust
#[test]
fn test_completion_penalty_smooth() {
// 0 epochs = max penalty (but not 1000)
let p0 = calculate_completion_penalty(0, 10, true);
assert!((p0 - 50.0).abs() < 0.1, "0 epochs should give 50.0 penalty: {}", p0);
// Half epochs = half penalty
let p5 = calculate_completion_penalty(5, 10, false);
assert!((p5 - 25.0).abs() < 0.1, "5/10 epochs should give ~25.0: {}", p5);
// Full epochs = no penalty
let p10 = calculate_completion_penalty(10, 10, false);
assert!(p10.abs() < 0.01, "Full epochs should give 0: {}", p10);
// Over min = no penalty
let p15 = calculate_completion_penalty(15, 10, false);
assert!(p15.abs() < 0.01, "Over min should give 0: {}", p15);
// Monotonic decrease
assert!(p0 > p5);
assert!(p5 > p10);
}
```
**Step 2: Run test, verify fails**
**Step 3: Implement linear completion penalty**
```rust
fn calculate_completion_penalty(
epochs_completed: u32,
min_epochs: u32,
_early_stop_triggered: bool,
) -> f64 {
if min_epochs == 0 {
return 0.0;
}
// Linear scale: 50.0 * (1 - completed/min_epochs), clamped to [0, 50]
let completion_ratio = (epochs_completed as f64 / min_epochs as f64).clamp(0.0, 1.0);
50.0 * (1.0 - completion_ratio)
}
```
**Step 4: Run test, verify passes**
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs
git commit -m "fix(hyperopt): replace completion cliff penalty (1000) with linear scale (max 50)"
```
## Phase 2: Position Limits & Drawdown Guard (Part A2)
### Task 3: Narrow max_position_absolute search range to [1.0, 4.0]
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs:476` (bounds)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs:560` (from_continuous clamp)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs:390` (default)
- Test: `test_dqn_params_bounds`
**Step 1: Update bounds**
Change line 476 from `(4.0, 8.0)` to `(1.0, 4.0)`.
Change line 560 clamp from `.clamp(4.0, 8.0)` to `.clamp(1.0, 4.0)`.
Change line 390 default from `2.0` to `2.0` (keep).
Update test assertion at line 3460 from `(4.0, 8.0)` to `(1.0, 4.0)`.
**Step 2: Run tests**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib test_dqn_params_bounds -- --nocapture`
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs
git commit -m "fix(hyperopt): narrow max_position_absolute from [4,8] to [1,4] to prevent catastrophic leverage"
```
### Task 4: Add drawdown circuit breaker to portfolio tracker
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/dqn/portfolio_tracker.rs`
**Step 1: Write failing test**
```rust
#[test]
fn test_drawdown_circuit_breaker() {
let mut tracker = PortfolioTracker::new(100_000.0, 0.0, 0.0);
// Simulate a 25% drawdown
tracker.cash = 70_000.0;
tracker.position_size = 0.0;
tracker.peak_value = 100_000.0;
let action = FactoredAction::new(ExposureLevel::Long100, OrderType::Market, Urgency::Normal);
tracker.execute_action(action, 100.0, 4.0);
// Should refuse to open position when drawdown > 20%
assert!(tracker.current_position().abs() < f32::EPSILON,
"Circuit breaker should prevent new positions at >20% drawdown");
}
```
**Step 2: Implement drawdown check in execute_action_internal**
At the top of `execute_action_internal`, before calculating target position:
```rust
// Drawdown circuit breaker: refuse new positions if drawdown > 20%
let current_value = self.get_portfolio_value(price);
if self.peak_value > 0.0 {
let drawdown = 1.0 - (current_value / self.peak_value);
if drawdown > 0.20 && self.position_size.abs() < f32::EPSILON {
// Already flat, don't open new positions
return;
}
if drawdown > 0.20 {
// Force close: set target to flat
// (fall through with target_exposure = 0)
}
}
```
Add `peak_value: f32` field to PortfolioTracker, update it in `get_portfolio_value()`.
**Step 3: Run test, verify passes**
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/dqn/portfolio_tracker.rs
git commit -m "fix(hyperopt): add 20% drawdown circuit breaker to portfolio tracker"
```
## Phase 3: CUDA Memory Cleanup (Part A3)
### Task 5: Add proper CUDA synchronization and cache clearing between trials
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs:3076-3091`
**Step 1: Implement CUDA cleanup**
Replace the cleanup block (lines 3076-3091):
```rust
// CRITICAL: Explicit memory cleanup between trials
info!("Cleaning up trial {} resources...", current_trial);
drop(training_metrics);
drop(internal_trainer);
// Force CUDA synchronize + cache clear
#[cfg(feature = "cuda")]
{
if let candle_core::Device::Cuda(cuda_dev) = &device {
// Synchronize to ensure all GPU operations complete
if let Err(e) = cuda_dev.synchronize() {
tracing::warn!("CUDA synchronize failed: {}", e);
}
}
}
// Force Rust allocator to release memory
// VarMap tensors are reference-counted — ensure no lingering refs
std::mem::drop(std::hint::black_box(()));
info!("Resource cleanup complete for trial {}", current_trial);
```
**Step 2: Run build check**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml`
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs
git commit -m "fix(hyperopt): proper CUDA synchronization between trials to prevent memory leaks"
```
## Phase 4: Search Space Reduction 45D→25D (Part A4)
### Task 6: Fix 20 parameters to validated defaults
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs` — `continuous_bounds()`, `from_continuous()`, `to_continuous()`, `param_names()`
**Step 1: Write the failing test**
```rust
#[test]
fn test_reduced_search_space_25d() {
let params = DQNParams::default();
let bounds = params.continuous_bounds();
assert_eq!(bounds.len(), 25, "Search space should be 25D, got {}D", bounds.len());
let names = params.param_names();
assert_eq!(names.len(), 25, "Should have 25 param names");
// Roundtrip
let continuous = params.to_continuous();
assert_eq!(continuous.len(), 25);
let recovered = DQNParams::from_continuous(&continuous);
assert!((recovered.learning_rate - params.learning_rate).abs() < 1e-6);
}
```
**Step 2: Implement 25D search space**
Remove 20 parameters from `continuous_bounds()`, `from_continuous()`, `to_continuous()`, `param_names()`. Set the removed parameters to fixed defaults in `from_continuous()`:
Fixed defaults:
- minimum_profit_factor = 1.5
- kelly_min_trades = 20
- ensemble_size = 5, beta_variance = 0.5, beta_disagreement = 0.5, beta_entropy = 0.2, variance_cap = 1.0
- warmup_ratio = 0.0
- td_error_clamp_max = 10.0, batch_diversity_cooldown = 50.0
- lr_decay_type = 0 (constant)
- sharpe_weight = 0.0
- gae_lambda = 0.95
- noisy_sigma_initial = 0.5, noisy_sigma_final = 0.3
- norm_type = 1 (RMSNorm), activation_type = 1 (LeakyReLU)
- num_quantiles = 64, qr_kappa = 1.0
- count_bonus_coefficient = 0.1
**Step 3: Run all hyperopt tests**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib hyperopt -- --nocapture`
**Step 4: Fix any broken tests that referenced 45D**
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs
git commit -m "feat(hyperopt): reduce DQN search space from 45D to 25D (fix 20 params to validated defaults)"
```
## Phase 5: TPE Optimizer (Part B1)
### Task 7: Add statrs dependency for KDE
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/Cargo.toml`
**Step 1: Add statrs**
Add `statrs = "0.18"` to `[dependencies]` in `crates/ml/Cargo.toml`.
**Step 2: Verify build**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml`
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/Cargo.toml
git commit -m "chore(ml): add statrs dependency for TPE kernel density estimation"
```
### Task 8: Implement TPE optimizer core
**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/tpe.rs` (~300 lines)
**Step 1: Write failing tests**
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use super::*;
#[test]
fn test_tpe_split_good_bad() {
let mut tpe = TpeOptimizer::new(2, 5, 0.25);
// Add 4 trials with known objectives
tpe.add_trial(vec![0.5, 0.5], 10.0); // bad
tpe.add_trial(vec![0.3, 0.7], 5.0); // good (lower = better)
tpe.add_trial(vec![0.8, 0.2], 20.0); // bad
tpe.add_trial(vec![0.2, 0.8], 1.0); // good (best)
let (good, bad) = tpe.split_trials();
assert_eq!(good.len(), 1); // top 25% of 4 = 1
assert_eq!(bad.len(), 3);
assert!((good[0].objective - 1.0).abs() < 1e-6); // best trial
}
#[test]
fn test_tpe_suggest_within_bounds() {
let bounds = vec![(0.0, 1.0), (0.0, 1.0)];
let mut tpe = TpeOptimizer::new(2, 10, 0.25);
// Add some initial trials
tpe.add_trial(vec![0.5, 0.5], 5.0);
tpe.add_trial(vec![0.3, 0.7], 3.0);
tpe.add_trial(vec![0.7, 0.3], 8.0);
let suggestion = tpe.suggest(&bounds);
assert_eq!(suggestion.len(), 2);
assert!(suggestion[0] >= 0.0 && suggestion[0] <= 1.0);
assert!(suggestion[1] >= 0.0 && suggestion[1] <= 1.0);
}
#[test]
fn test_tpe_lhs_initial() {
let bounds = vec![(0.0, 10.0), (-1.0, 1.0)];
let tpe = TpeOptimizer::new(2, 10, 0.25);
let samples = tpe.latin_hypercube_sample(&bounds, 5);
assert_eq!(samples.len(), 5);
for s in &samples {
assert_eq!(s.len(), 2);
assert!(s[0] >= 0.0 && s[0] <= 10.0);
assert!(s[1] >= -1.0 && s[1] <= 1.0);
}
}
}
```
**Step 2: Implement TpeOptimizer**
Core struct:
```rust
pub struct TpeOptimizer {
n_dims: usize,
max_trials: usize,
gamma: f64, // good/bad split quantile (0.25)
n_candidates: usize, // EI candidates per suggestion (100)
trials: Vec<TrialRecord>,
rng: StdRng,
}
struct TrialRecord {
params: Vec<f64>,
objective: f64,
}
```
Key methods:
- `suggest(&self, bounds: &[(f64, f64)]) -> Vec<f64>` — if < n_initial trials, return LHS sample; else, build KDEs and maximize EI
- `add_trial(&mut self, params: Vec<f64>, objective: f64)` — record result
- `split_trials(&self) -> (Vec<&TrialRecord>, Vec<&TrialRecord>)` — top gamma% = good
- `kde_log_pdf(samples: &[&[f64]], point: &[f64], bounds: &[(f64, f64)]) -> f64` — per-dimension KDE with Silverman bandwidth
- `latin_hypercube_sample(bounds, n) -> Vec<Vec<f64>>` — LHS for initial exploration
**Step 3: Run tests**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib tpe -- --nocapture`
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/tpe.rs
git commit -m "feat(hyperopt): implement TPE (Tree-Parzen Estimator) optimizer core"
```
### Task 9: Wire TPE into optimizer module
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/mod.rs` (export tpe)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/optimizer.rs` (add OptimizerType enum)
**Step 1: Add TPE to mod.rs exports**
```rust
pub mod tpe;
```
**Step 2: Add OptimizerType enum to optimizer.rs**
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum OptimizerType {
Pso,
Tpe,
}
impl Default for OptimizerType {
fn default() -> Self {
OptimizerType::Tpe // New default
}
}
```
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/mod.rs crates/ml/src/hyperopt/optimizer.rs
git commit -m "feat(hyperopt): wire TPE into optimizer module with OptimizerType enum"
```
### Task 10: Integrate TPE into campaign runner
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/campaign.rs`
**Step 1: Add TPE path to campaign's optimize loop**
The campaign currently calls `ArgminOptimizer::optimize()`. Add a branch:
```rust
match config.optimizer_type {
OptimizerType::Pso => { /* existing PSO path */ },
OptimizerType::Tpe => {
let mut tpe = TpeOptimizer::new(n_dims, config.num_trials, 0.25);
let bounds = trainer.continuous_bounds();
// Initial LHS phase
let initial_samples = tpe.latin_hypercube_sample(&bounds, config.n_initial);
for sample in initial_samples {
let params = Params::from_continuous(&sample);
let metrics = trainer.train_with_params(params)?;
let objective = Trainer::extract_objective(&metrics);
tpe.add_trial(sample, objective);
}
// TPE-guided phase
for trial in config.n_initial..config.num_trials {
let suggestion = tpe.suggest(&bounds);
let params = Params::from_continuous(&suggestion);
let metrics = trainer.train_with_params(params)?;
let objective = Trainer::extract_objective(&metrics);
tpe.add_trial(suggestion, objective);
}
}
}
```
**Step 2: Build check**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml`
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/campaign.rs
git commit -m "feat(hyperopt): integrate TPE optimizer into campaign runner"
```
### Task 11: Add --optimizer CLI flag
**Files:**
- Modify: relevant CLI hyperopt command in `bin/fxt/`
**Step 1: Find and modify the hyperopt CLI**
Add `--optimizer` flag with `pso` and `tpe` options (default: `tpe`).
**Step 2: Wire through to campaign config**
**Step 3: Build check**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p fxt`
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add bin/fxt/
git commit -m "feat(fxt): add --optimizer flag to hyperopt command (pso|tpe, default: tpe)"
```
## Phase 6: Trial Persistence (Part B2)
### Task 12: Add trial history save/load to TPE
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/tpe.rs`
**Step 1: Add persistence methods**
```rust
impl TpeOptimizer {
pub fn save_history(&self, path: &Path) -> Result<(), std::io::Error> { ... }
pub fn load_history(&mut self, path: &Path) -> Result<usize, std::io::Error> { ... }
}
```
**Step 2: Wire into campaign to auto-save after each trial and load on startup**
**Step 3: Test roundtrip**
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/tpe.rs crates/ml/src/hyperopt/campaign.rs
git commit -m "feat(hyperopt): add trial history persistence for TPE warm-starting"
```
## Phase 7: Validation
### Task 13: Run full test suite
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib -- --nocapture 2>&1 | tail -5`
All 2506+ tests must pass, 0 clippy warnings.
### Task 14: Run workspace build check
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace`
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo clippy -p ml -- -D warnings`
### Task 15: Commit and push

# PPO Improvements Design — All Tiers
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Comprehensive PPO improvements — 13D search space, symlog critic, DAPO clipping, adaptive entropy, percentile scaling, curiosity port, reward shaping, ExO-PPO trajectory replay, composite risk-adjusted reward.
**Architecture:** Modular additions to existing PPO pipeline. Each improvement is independent and tested separately. New modules are created for symlog, adaptive entropy, percentile scaler, trajectory replay buffer, and composite reward. Existing PPOConfig, PPOParams, and training loop are extended.
**Tech Stack:** Candle v0.9.1 (Rust), existing PPO modules in `crates/ml/src/ppo/`, hyperopt adapter in `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/ppo.rs`
---
## Phase 1: Search Space Expansion (7D → 13D)
Expand PPOParams from 7 to 13 dimensions. New params: gae_gamma, gae_lambda, mini_batch_size, max_grad_norm, max_position_absolute, clip_epsilon_high.
**Files:** `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/ppo.rs`
## Phase 2: Symlog Value Predictions
Add `symlog(x) = sign(x) * ln(|x| + 1)` and `symexp(x) = sign(x) * (exp(|x|) - 1)` transforms. Apply symlog to return targets in compute_value_loss(). Apply symexp when recovering values for advantage computation.
**Files:** New `crates/ml/src/ppo/symlog.rs`, modify `crates/ml/src/ppo/ppo.rs` (compute_value_loss), modify `crates/ml/src/ppo/gae.rs` (compute_gae to output symlog-compatible returns)
## Phase 3: DAPO Asymmetric Clipping
Default `clip_epsilon_high = Some(0.28)` in PPOConfig. Already implemented in compute_policy_loss — just set the default.
**Files:** `crates/ml/src/ppo/ppo.rs` (PPOConfig::default)
## Phase 4: Adaptive Entropy Coefficient
Learnable `log(alpha)` parameter auto-tuned via dual gradient descent. Target entropy = -0.5 * ln(num_actions). Extra optimizer step per batch: `alpha_loss = -alpha * (log_pi + target_entropy).mean()`.
**Files:** New `crates/ml/src/ppo/adaptive_entropy.rs`, modify `crates/ml/src/ppo/ppo.rs` (PPO struct + training loop)
## Phase 5: Percentile Advantage Scaling
Track running P5/P95 of returns with EMA decay (0.99). Scale advantages by 1/(P95-P5) instead of std. Robust to heavy-tailed financial returns.
**Files:** New `crates/ml/src/ppo/percentile_scaler.rs`, modify `crates/ml/src/ppo/ppo.rs` or `gae.rs` (advantage normalization)
## Phase 6: Curiosity Module Port
Port `dqn/curiosity.rs` CuriosityModule to PPO. It's already agent-agnostic (uses FactoredAction). Wire intrinsic reward into PPO trajectory collection. Add `curiosity_weight` to PPOConfig and hyperopt.
**Files:** Modify `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/ppo.rs` (wire curiosity), modify `crates/ml/src/ppo/ppo.rs` (PPOConfig + optional CuriosityModule)
## Phase 7: Reward Shaping Port
Port DQN reward components to PPO: hold penalty (discourages inactivity), rolling Sharpe (risk-adjusted), diversity penalty (smooth quadratic from DQN fix).
**Files:** New `crates/ml/src/ppo/reward_shaping.rs`, wire into hyperopt adapter
## Phase 8: ExO-PPO Trajectory Replay
FIFO buffer holding M=4 past rollouts. Importance-weighted updates with exponential attenuation outside clip bounds. 4x sample efficiency.
**Files:** New `crates/ml/src/ppo/trajectory_replay.rs`, modify PPO training loop
## Phase 9: Composite Risk-Adjusted Reward
Multi-component reward: `R = w1*return - w2*downside_dev + w3*differential_return`. Components computed from rolling windows in PortfolioTracker.
**Files:** New `crates/ml/src/ppo/composite_reward.rs`, wire into hyperopt adapter
## Phase 10: CUDA Fix + Validation
Commit PPO CUDA cleanup (already coded), run full test suite, verify 0 clippy.
---
## Implementation Order
Phases 1-5 are independent (parallel). Phases 6-7 depend on Phase 1 (new hyperopt params). Phase 8 is independent. Phase 9 depends on Phase 7. Phase 10 is final.
