⚠️ TFT Hyperparameter Optimization

Status: 🟡 INFRASTRUCTURE COMPLETE, NEEDS REAL TRAINING

Issue: Adapter returns hardcoded mock metrics instead of real training results.

Evidence:

• Loss: 0.500000 (ALL trials identical)
• RMSE: 0.3000 (ALL trials identical)
• Convergence: 0% (no improvement)
• Runtime: <0.1s per trial (instant, not realistic)

Root Cause: Lines 324-329 of ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/tft.rs:

// For now, return synthetic metrics (would be replaced with actual training)
let metrics = TFTMetrics {
    val_loss: 0.5,    // TODO: Replace with actual training
    train_loss: 0.4,
    val_rmse: 0.3,
    epochs_completed: self.epochs,
};

Fix Required (2-4 hours):

1. Import BaseTFTTrainer from ml/src/trainers/tft.rs
2. Load Parquet data → create data loaders
3. Train model for specified epochs
4. Extract real metrics (val_loss, train_loss, RMSE)
5. Return actual metrics instead of mock values

Reference Implementation: ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/mamba2.rs (lines 589-670)

Parameters Ready (10):

1. learning_rate (log: 1e-5 to 1e-2)
2. batch_size (linear: 8-128)
3. dropout (linear: 0.0-0.5)
4. weight_decay (log: 1e-6 to 1e-2)
5. hidden_dim (quantized: 64/128/256)
6. num_heads (linear: 4-16)
7. num_layers (linear: 2-6)
8. grad_clip (log: 0.5-5.0)
9. warmup_steps (linear: 100-2000)
10. label_smoothing (linear: 0.0-0.2)

Implementation:

• File: ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/tft.rs (535 lines - infrastructure complete)
• Binary: ml/examples/hyperopt_tft_demo.rs (247 lines - ready)
• Tests: ml/tests/tft_hyperopt_test.rs (370 lines - API tests pass)

Expected After Fix:

• Loss variance: >5% (varied across trials)
• Convergence: 10-30% improvement
• Runtime: 5-20s per trial (realistic)
• Validation loss: <0.20 on best trial
