Post-A/B verdict (see project_ml_alpha_v2_ab_verdict.md): v2 with all
5 axes was marginally tied on h6000 (+0.0013 vs 0.7591 baseline mean,
fails the +0.01 win threshold) and slightly below on mean_auc
(−0.0208 vs 0.7749 baseline mean, within 1σ) at ~5× the wall-time
cost. Per `feedback_v7_gem_methodology` (measure before delete or
wire), the architecture has been measured — it doesn't earn its
compute cost. This commit reverts the axes that didn't lift:
- axis B (L2 anchor + Wiener-α controller) — DROPPED
- axis C (horizon-token attention pool) — DROPPED
- axis D (regime-MoE gate + experts) — DROPPED
- axis E (inverted cross-variate attn) — DROPPED
- axis A (Kendall σ-weighted BCE) — KEPT
Files deleted (kernels, host bindings, numgrad tests, trainer state):
- cuda/{horizon_token_attention_pool, inverted_attention_pool,
inv_pooled_merge, regime_moe_gate, anchor_l2,
horizon_mean_collapse}.cu
- src/{horizon_token_attention_pool, inverted_attention_pool,
inv_pooled_merge, regime_moe_gate, anchor_l2,
horizon_mean_collapse}.rs
- src/trainer/{multi_horizon_attention, anchor_controller}.rs
- tests/{horizon_token_attention_pool_numgrad,
inverted_attention_pool_numgrad,
regime_moe_gate_numgrad,
anchor_l2_numgrad}.rs
Files restored (from V1 commit 41292303d):
- cuda/attention_pool.cu — legacy single-Q attention pool kernel
- src/trainer/perception.rs — pre-MHA trainer state with the
legacy `attn_*` plumbing intact.
Files modified:
- bce_loss_multi_horizon.cu stays σ-aware (kept the V7 work; it
has the kernel function name preserved from V1).
- perception.rs: ADD `log_sigma_h_d [N_HORIZONS]`,
`grad_log_sigma_h_d [N_HORIZONS]`, `opt_log_sigma` AdamW
directly on PerceptionTrainer (no MHA bundle). BCE callsites in
`step_batched` (training) and `evaluate_batched` thread the σ
args. Grad scratch zeroed each step before the BCE launch.
`opt_log_sigma.step` lives in section 9 alongside the other
AdamW updates.
NET DIFF: 23 files, 442 insertions, 3160 deletions (~2700-line
cleanup).
LOCAL VERIFICATION (RTX 3050 sm_86, --test-threads=1):
- ml-alpha builds clean (cuda feature)
- bce_grad_finite_diff 4/4 PASS (BCE still works through σ-kernel)
- perception_overfit 9/9 PASS (full trainer pipeline, loss-shrinks
tests still green)
NEXT: cluster smoke + 3-fold A/B vs task #200 baseline. Expected
wall-time ≈ baseline 17 s/epoch (we're back to baseline architecture
plus 5 scalar Kendall σ params + 1 tiny AdamW). Expected lift on
mean_auc: modest — Kendall σ rebalances per-horizon contributions
based on observed BCE EMA, which may help horizons with intrinsically
higher noise floors.

ML Models
Four production model architectures on Candle v0.9.1 with CUDA:
- DQN Rainbow -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized replay, dueling heads, noisy nets
- PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE and LSTM policies
- TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
- Mamba2 -- State space model for sequence prediction
Each model has a standalone trainer and a UnifiedTrainable adapter for the hyperopt pipeline.
Infrastructure
- Git: Gitea at
git.fxhnt.ai(Tailscale-only), Scaleway DEV1-S - Observability: OpenTelemetry OTLP (env
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT) - Database: PostgreSQL with SQLx offline mode for CI
