jgrusewski 2df1ea92e1 feat(ml): WAVE 29 DQN Codebase Cleanup & Refactoring Campaign
BREAKING CHANGES:
- Removed orphaned dqn.rs monolithic trainer (4,975 lines)
- Removed orphaned dqn_ensemble.rs module (816 lines)
- Removed orphaned tft.rs and tft_complete_int8_integration_test.rs
- TFT trainer split into modular directory structure

DQN Module Refactoring:
- Split trainers/dqn.rs into modular structure (config.rs, statistics.rs, trainer.rs)
- Fixed hyperopt 39D search space (continuous params only)
- Boolean flags (use_dueling, use_double_dqn, use_per, use_noisy_nets) are now FIXED architectural decisions
- use_distributional defaults to false (Candle BUG #36 - scatter_add gradient issues)

Clean Module Structure:
- ml/src/trainers/dqn/ directory with proper mod.rs exports
- ml/src/trainers/tft/ directory with config.rs, types.rs, model.rs, trainer.rs, tests.rs
- All P0 features validated: TD-error clamping, batch diversity, LR scheduler, priority staleness

Documentation:
- Added comprehensive docs in docs/codebase-cleanup/
- ADR-001 for DQN refactoring decisions
- Rainbow DQN component matrix and quick reference guides

Build Status: Compiles with zero errors

WAVE 28.11: DQNConfig Default Implementation

Summary

Added Default implementation for DQNConfig struct in /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs.

Changes Made

File: /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs

Added comprehensive Default implementation between the struct definition (line 146) and the existing impl DQNConfig block (line 195).

Location: Lines 148-193

Default Values Chosen

The defaults are optimized for trading DQN with sensible production-ready parameters:

Core Architecture

  • state_dim: 54 - Standard feature dimension
  • num_actions: 45 - FactoredAction space
  • hidden_dims: vec![256, 256] - Two hidden layers

Learning Parameters

  • learning_rate: 1e-4 - Conservative learning rate
  • gamma: 0.99 - Standard discount factor
  • gradient_clip_norm: 1.0 - Gradient clipping threshold

Exploration

  • epsilon_start: 1.0 - Start with full exploration
  • epsilon_end: 0.01 - Minimal exploration at end
  • epsilon_decay: 0.995 - Gradual decay

Replay Buffer

  • replay_buffer_capacity: 100_000 - Large capacity
  • batch_size: 64 - Standard batch size
  • min_replay_size: 1000 - Minimum before training

Target Updates

  • target_update_freq: 1000 - Hard update frequency
  • tau: 0.005 - Soft update coefficient
  • use_soft_updates: true - Enable Polyak averaging

Rainbow DQN Features

  • use_double_dqn: true - Enable Double DQN
  • use_huber_loss: true - Use Huber loss
  • huber_delta: 1.0 - Huber loss threshold
  • warmup_steps: 1000 - Warmup before training
  • n_steps: 1 - Single-step returns (conservative)

Prioritized Experience Replay (PER)

  • use_per: true - Enable PER
  • per_alpha: 0.6 - Prioritization exponent
  • per_beta_start: 0.4 - Initial importance sampling weight
  • per_beta_max: 1.0 - Maximum beta value
  • per_beta_annealing_steps: 100_000 - Annealing schedule

Dueling Networks

  • use_dueling: true - Enable dueling architecture
  • dueling_hidden_dim: 128 - Advantage stream hidden dim

Distributional RL (C51)

  • use_distributional: false - Disabled by default
  • num_atoms: 51 - Distribution atoms
  • v_min: -10.0 - Minimum value
  • v_max: 10.0 - Maximum value

Noisy Networks

  • use_noisy_nets: false - Disabled by default
  • noisy_sigma_init: 0.5 - Initial noise std

Q-Value Clipping (BUG #37 Fix)

  • enable_q_value_clipping: true - Enable clipping
  • q_value_clip_min: -100.0 - Minimum Q-value
  • q_value_clip_max: 100.0 - Maximum Q-value

Early Stopping (WAVE 23)

  • gradient_collapse_multiplier: 2.0 - Learning-rate aware threshold
  • gradient_collapse_patience: 100 - Epochs before stopping

Trading Parameters

  • initial_capital: 100_000.0 - Starting capital
  • leaky_relu_alpha: 0.01 - LeakyReLU negative slope

Verification

All 41 struct fields are covered in the Default implementation:

  • state_dim
  • num_actions
  • hidden_dims
  • learning_rate
  • gamma
  • epsilon_start
  • epsilon_end
  • epsilon_decay
  • replay_buffer_capacity
  • batch_size
  • min_replay_size
  • target_update_freq
  • use_double_dqn
  • use_huber_loss
  • huber_delta
  • leaky_relu_alpha
  • gradient_clip_norm
  • tau
  • use_soft_updates
  • warmup_steps
  • n_steps
  • initial_capital
  • use_per
  • per_alpha
  • per_beta_start
  • per_beta_max
  • per_beta_annealing_steps
  • use_dueling
  • dueling_hidden_dim

  • v_max
  • use_noisy_nets
  • noisy_sigma_init
  • enable_q_value_clipping
  • q_value_clip_min
  • q_value_clip_max
  • gradient_collapse_multiplier
  • gradient_collapse_patience

Notes

  1. The defaults are conservative and production-ready
  2. Rainbow features are selectively enabled (Double DQN, Huber, PER, Dueling)
  3. More experimental features (Distributional, Noisy Nets) are disabled by default
  4. Q-value clipping is enabled to prevent explosions (BUG #37 fix)
  5. Early stopping with gradient collapse detection is configured (WAVE 23)

Usage

// Create config with sensible defaults
let config = DQNConfig::default();

// Or customize specific fields
let config = DQNConfig {
    learning_rate: 1e-3,
    use_distributional: true,
    ..DQNConfig::default()
};

Compilation Status

The Default implementation itself is syntactically correct and complete.

Note: There are pre-existing compilation errors in the ml crate related to type mismatches between ml::dqn::dqn::DQNConfig and ml::dqn::agent::DQNConfig. These are separate issues not introduced by this change.
