jgrusewski 5eb6567c4c feat(ml-alpha): PerceptionTrainer per-horizon trainer state (C24)
Allocates the device buffers + AdamW optimizers + kernel bindings for
the per-horizon attention-pool training path from C21 + C22, bundled
into a single PerceptionTrainer.per_horizon field.

crates/ml-alpha/src/trainer/per_horizon_state.rs (NEW):
  PerHorizonTrainState — owns:
    Learnable params (zero-init for α + bias, Xavier-scale for Q_h,
      0.1× scale for w_res):
      q_h_d        [N_HORIZONS, HIDDEN_DIM]  — attention queries
      w_res_d      [N_HORIZONS, HIDDEN_DIM]  — residual head weights
      bias_res_d   [N_HORIZONS]              — residual bias
      alpha_d      [N_HORIZONS]              — learnable gate (init 0)
    Forward intermediates (per-batch):
      context_d           [B, N_HORIZONS, HIDDEN_DIM]
      attn_weights_d      [B, N_HORIZONS, K]
      residual_d          [B, N_HORIZONS]
    Backward grad scratch + reduced grads + AdamW state.
    Kernel bindings: PerHorizonAttentionPool + PerHorizonResidualHead.

  PerHorizonTrainState::new(dev, n_batch, k_seq, lr, seed)
    Allocates all buffers, runs Xavier-style init, constructs four
    AdamW optimizers (q_h, w_res, bias_res at param-LR; α at 0.25× LR
    per spec §5 open Q2 default — slow gate ramp). Captures the seed
    via wrapping_add(0xA110C00A) from cfg.seed for determinism.

  PerHorizonTrainState::zero_grads()
    Clears all grad-scratch buffers between training steps.

trainer/mod.rs:
  pub mod per_horizon_state — module export.

trainer/perception.rs:
  PerceptionTrainer gains one field:
    pub per_horizon: PerHorizonTrainState
  Initialised in new() with cfg.n_batch + cfg.seq_len + cfg.lr_cfc.

α-gate init=0 ⇒ tanh(0)=0 ⇒ contribution to per-batch logits is exactly
0 at step 0 (per C23 alpha_zero_init_is_identity_to_baseline byte-equality
test). Adopting this commit produces bit-identical training behaviour
to the previous commit until C25 wires the forward+backward calls into
step_batched; even then the α=0 init means a one-epoch smoke against
existing baseline should match within FP rounding noise.

All 34 ml-alpha lib tests + 4 per-horizon GPU tests (numgrad pair +
end-to-end pipeline pair) green.

Next:
  C25 — forward + backward integration into step_batched. The new path
        runs as ADDITIONAL kernel launches before/after the existing
        captured graph (not inside it) so the graph stays unchanged
        and the integration risk is contained.

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
