PPO was only checking for NaN losses every 10th epoch, allowing NaN to propagate for up to 9 epochs and corrupt model weights before detection. Now checks every mini-batch in both MLP and LSTM paths. Delete three dead gradient clipping methods from DQN agent: - compute_gradients_and_clip (never called, hardcoded max_norm=1.0) - clip_gradients (returns error, deprecated) - clip_gradients_map (computes clip factor but never applies it) Active DQN training uses AdamOptimizer::backward_step_with_monitoring which correctly delegates to gradient_utils::clip_grad_norm.

Machine learning models for Foxhunt.
Models
- DQN (Rainbow) -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized experience replay, dueling heads, noisy nets, double Q-learning
- PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE, LSTM policies, clip-higher option
- TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon time series forecasting
- Mamba2 -- State space model for efficient sequence prediction
- Liquid Networks -- Biologically inspired neural networks for non-stationary data
- TLOB -- Transformer-based Limit Order Book analysis
- Flash Attention -- Optimized attention implementation
Training
Two paths per model:
- Standalone trainer -- direct training loop (e.g.,
DQN::train,PpoTrainer) - UnifiedTrainable adapter -- wraps models for the hyperopt pipeline (e.g.,
DQNTrainableAdapter,UnifiedTrainablePPO)
Inference
InferenceAdapterBridge connects models to the ensemble coordinator in adaptive-strategy. Each model exposes an InferenceAdapter trait for prediction.
Backend
- Candle v0.9.1 --
VarMap,AdamW,loss.backward(),GradStore,opt.step(&grads) - CUDA required for training -- tested on RTX 3050 Ti 4GB, max batch size 230
- CPU inference supported
Hyperopt
ArgminOptimizer (Particle Swarm Optimization) with per-model adapters:
DQN, PPO, ContinuousPPO, TFT, Mamba2. Uses ParameterSpace trait for continuous parameter mapping.
ModelType Enum
