🔧 Implementation Details

TDD Workflow (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR)

Phase 1: RED (Test First) ✅

File: ml/tests/calibration_dataset_test.rs (378 lines)

// Test structure definitions
pub struct CalibrationDataset {
    pub sample_count: usize,
    pub feature_count: usize,
    pub symbol: String,
    pub feature_stats: Vec<FeatureStats>,
    pub samples: Vec<f32>,
}

pub struct FeatureStats {
    pub index: usize,
    pub name: String,
    pub min: f32,
    pub max: f32,
    pub mean: f32,
    pub std: f32,
}

Tests Written:

1. test_generate_calibration_dataset() - Core generation functionality
2. test_calibration_json_structure() - JSON format validation
3. test_calibration_statistics() - Per-feature min/max/mean/std validation
4. test_calibration_feature_count() - 256 features validation
5. test_calibration_sample_count() - 1,000 samples validation
6. test_load_calibration_data() - Load and validate saved JSON
7. test_calibration_dbn_integration() - Integration with DbnSequenceLoader

RED Confirmation:

$ cargo test -p ml --test calibration_dataset_test
error[E0432]: unresolved import `ml::data_loaders::calibration`
  --> ml/tests/calibration_dataset_test.rs:49:9
   |
49 | use ml::data_loaders::calibration::generate_calibration_dataset;
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ could not find `calibration` in `data_loaders`

✅ Test fails as expected - calibration module doesn't exist yet.

Phase 2: GREEN (Implementation) ✅

File: ml/src/data_loaders/calibration.rs (438 lines)

Core Functions:

pub async fn generate_calibration_dataset<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    dbn_file: P,
    num_samples: usize,
    symbol: &str,
) -> Result<CalibrationDataset>

pub async fn load_calibration_dataset<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    json_file: P,
) -> Result<CalibrationDataset>

pub async fn save_calibration_dataset<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    dataset: &CalibrationDataset,
    output_file: P,
) -> Result<()>

Implementation Strategy:

1. Use DbnSequenceLoader with seq_len=1 (single timestep per sample)
2. Set d_model=256 to match MAMBA-2 training
3. Limit to 1,000 samples for calibration
4. Extract features using existing feature extraction pipeline
5. Compute per-feature statistics (min/max/mean/std)
6. Save to JSON with pretty formatting

GREEN Confirmation:

$ cargo test -p ml --test calibration_dataset_test

// Use min/max for INT8 quantization
for stats in &calibration.feature_stats {
    let scale = (stats.max - stats.min) / 255.0;  // INT8 has 256 values
    let zero_point = -stats.min / scale;

🎓 Key Learnings

TDD Benefits Realized

1. Tests as Specification: Tests defined the API before implementation
2. Confidence in Refactoring: Safe to optimize with test safety net
3. Documentation via Tests: Tests serve as usage examples
4. Early Error Detection: Caught API design issues during RED phase

Technical Insights

1. DbnSequenceLoader Reuse: Existing infrastructure worked perfectly with seq_len=1
2. Feature Dimension: 256 features aligns with MAMBA-2 training
3. Statistics Computation: Per-feature stats essential for quantization
4. JSON Format: Pretty formatting aids debugging (3.7 MB acceptable)

Integration Challenges

1. Temporary Directory: DbnSequenceLoader expects directory, not single file
2. Feature Naming: Generated names for 256 features (31 base + 225 tiled)
3. F64 → F32 Conversion: Candle uses F64, but F32 sufficient for calibration

🚀 Next Steps

Immediate (Wave 10 Continuation)

1. Integrate with TFT Quantization: Use calibration data for INT8 quantization
2. Test Quantization Pipeline: Validate quantized model accuracy
3. Extend to Other Symbols: Generate calibration for NQ.FUT, ZN.FUT, 6E.FUT
4. Multi-Symbol Calibration: Aggregate statistics across symbols

Medium-term

1. Dynamic Sample Count: Allow configurable sample count (100-10,000)
2. Feature Filtering: Option to calibrate subset of features
3. Calibration Validation: Compare quantized vs. full-precision accuracy
4. Calibration Versioning: Track calibration dataset versions

Long-term

1. Automated Calibration: Generate calibration during training pipeline
2. Cross-Validation: K-fold validation for calibration stability
3. Adaptive Calibration: Update calibration as market conditions change
4. Multi-Model Calibration: Shared calibration across DQN/PPO/MAMBA-2/TFT
