# ML Training Validation Script

**Script**: `validate_training.sh`
**Wave**: 152 Agent 20
**Dependencies**: Agent 19 (`train_all_models_fixed.sh`)

## Purpose

Validates all 4 ML training pipelines by running a quick 2-epoch training session for each model and verifying output files are generated correctly.

## Models Tested

1. **DQN** (Deep Q-Network) - Reinforcement learning
2. **PPO** (Proximal Policy Optimization) - RL policy gradient
3. **MAMBA-2** - State space model for sequence prediction
4. **TFT** (Temporal Fusion Transformer) - Multi-horizon forecasting

## Prerequisites

### 1. Data Files Required

The script expects 3-month historical data (downloaded by Agent 19):

```
test_data/real/BTC-USD_20231001-20231231_databento_ohlcv-1s.parquet
test_data/real/ETH-USD_20231001-20231231_databento_ohlcv-1s.parquet
```

If data is missing, run Agent 19 first:
```bash
./scripts/train_all_models_fixed.sh
```

### 2. System Requirements

- **Cargo**: Rust toolchain
- **Disk Space**: ~500MB for models + logs
- **Memory**: 8GB+ recommended (GPU optional but recommended)
- **Time**: ~10-30 minutes (depends on hardware)

## Usage

### Quick Run

```bash
cd /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt
./scripts/validate_training.sh
```

All 4 models trained successfully and saved .safetensors files

Model files:
  - test_data/models/dqn_20251014_011545.safetensors
  - test_data/models/ppo_20251014_011547.safetensors

  - test_data/models/tft_20251014_011555.safetensors
```

## Exit Codes

- **0**: All 4 models trained successfully and saved .safetensors files
- **1**: One or more models failed to train or save output files

## Output Files

### Model Files
```
test_data/models/
├── dqn_TIMESTAMP.safetensors       # DQN model weights
├── ppo_TIMESTAMP.safetensors       # PPO model weights
├── mamba_TIMESTAMP.safetensors     # MAMBA-2 model weights
└── tft_TIMESTAMP.safetensors       # TFT model weights
```

### Log Files
```
test_data/models/
├── DQN_TIMESTAMP.log              # DQN training logs
├── PPO_TIMESTAMP.log              # PPO training logs
├── MAMBA_TIMESTAMP.log            # MAMBA-2 training logs
└── TFT_TIMESTAMP.log              # TFT training logs
```

## Configuration

The script uses the following parameters (hardcoded for quick validation):

```bash
EPOCHS=2                # Quick validation with 2 epochs
BATCH_SIZE=32          # Standard batch size
LEARNING_RATE=0.001    # Standard learning rate
```

To modify for longer training, edit the script:
```bash
# Change EPOCHS at line 18
EPOCHS=10  # Train for 10 epochs instead
```

## Troubleshooting

### Error: "BTC data not found"

**Solution**: Run Agent 19 first to download data:
```bash
./scripts/train_all_models_fixed.sh
```

### Error: "cargo not found"

**Solution**: Install Rust toolchain:
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
```

### Error: "Model training failed"

**Solution**: Check the model-specific log file:
```bash
cat test_data/models/DQN_TIMESTAMP.log  # Replace with actual timestamp
```

Common issues:
- Out of memory: Reduce batch size or use GPU
- CUDA errors: Check GPU availability with `nvidia-smi`
- Data format issues: Re-download data with Agent 19

### Training Too Slow

**GPU Acceleration**: If you have NVIDIA GPU:
```bash
# Check CUDA availability
nvidia-smi

# Verify CUDA environment
echo $CUDA_HOME
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# Rebuild with GPU support
cargo build --release --features cuda
```

**CPU Performance**: For CPU-only systems:
- Reduce batch size: Edit script, change `--batch-size 32` to `--batch-size 16`
- Use fewer epochs: Change `EPOCHS=2` to `EPOCHS=1`
- Close other applications to free memory

## Performance Benchmarks

Typical execution times on different hardware:

| Hardware | Total Time | DQN | PPO | MAMBA | TFT |
|----------|------------|-----|-----|-------|-----|
| RTX 3090 (GPU) | 8-12 min | 2 min | 1.5 min | 3 min | 2.5 min |

| Intel i7 (CPU) | 35-50 min | 8 min | 7 min | 15 min | 12 min |

## Related Scripts

- **Agent 19**: `train_all_models_fixed.sh` - Full 3-month training (prerequisite)
- **Agent 18**: `train_all_models_full.sh` - Original full training script
- **Agent 17**: `test_dqn_training.sh` - DQN-specific validation

## Success Criteria

The script passes if:

1. ✅ All 4 models train without errors
2. ✅ All 4 models save `.safetensors` files
3. ✅ Model files are non-empty (>1MB each)
4. ✅ No compilation errors
5. ✅ Exit code 0 returned

The script fails if:

1. ❌ Any model training crashes
2. ❌ Any model fails to save output
3. ❌ Data files missing
4. ❌ Compilation errors
5. ❌ Exit code 1 returned

## Architecture Notes

### Model Types

The script trains one instance of each model architecture:

```
DQN (dqn)      → Deep Q-Network for discrete action spaces
PPO (ppo)      → Proximal Policy Optimization for continuous control
MAMBA (mamba)  → MAMBA-2 state space model for sequences
TFT (tft)      → Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
```

### Training Pipeline

```
1. Load Parquet data → 2. Feature engineering → 3. Train model → 4. Save weights
```

Each model uses:
- **Input**: 3-month BTC/USD OHLCV-1s data (7.8M candles)
- **Epochs**: 2 (quick validation)
- **Batch Size**: 32
- **Learning Rate**: 0.001
- **Output**: `.safetensors` format (safe serialization)

### CLI Interface

The script uses the ML training CLI binary:

```bash
cargo run --release --bin ml_training_cli -- train-model \
  --model-type {dqn|ppo|mamba|tft} \
  --data-path test_data/real/BTC-USD_20231001-20231231_databento_ohlcv-1s.parquet \
  --output-path test_data/models/MODEL_TIMESTAMP \
  --epochs 2 \
  --batch-size 32 \
  --learning-rate 0.001
```

## Future Enhancements

Potential improvements for future waves:

1. **Parallel Training**: Train models concurrently (requires 4x memory)
2. **Multi-Asset**: Test with ETH data alongside BTC
3. **Metrics Collection**: Track loss curves, gradients, convergence
4. **Model Comparison**: Compare accuracy across architectures
5. **Hyperparameter Sweep**: Test different learning rates, batch sizes
6. **Checkpointing**: Validate checkpoint save/resume functionality
7. **Distributed Training**: Test multi-GPU training pipelines
