Wave 152 Agent 20: ML Training Validation Script

Status: ✅ COMPLETE Date: 2025-10-14 Dependencies: Agent 19 (train_all_models_fixed.sh)

Objective

Create a quick validation script that trains all 4 ML models (DQN, PPO, MAMBA-2, TFT) for 2 epochs each and verifies that all training pipelines work correctly by checking for saved .safetensors files.

Deliverables

1. Main Script: scripts/validate_training.sh

Features:

• ✅ Trains all 4 models sequentially (DQN, PPO, MAMBA, TFT)
• ✅ Uses 2 epochs for quick validation
• ✅ Validates .safetensors output files exist
• ✅ Provides detailed progress output with colors
• ✅ Logs all training output to separate files
• ✅ Exit 0 if all pass, exit 1 if any fail
• ✅ Summary report with timing and file sizes
• ✅ Prerequisites checking (data files, cargo)

Configuration:

EPOCHS=2                           # Quick validation
DATA_DIR="test_data/real"          # 3-month historical data
MODEL_OUTPUT_DIR="test_data/models" # Output directory
BTC_DATA="BTC-USD_20231001-20231231_databento_ohlcv-1s.parquet"
ETH_DATA="ETH-USD_20231001-20231231_databento_ohlcv-1s.parquet"

Exit Codes:

• 0: All 4 models trained successfully + .safetensors files saved
• 1: One or more models failed

Script Architecture

Training Flow

1. Prerequisites Check
   ├─ Verify data files exist
   ├─ Check cargo available
   └─ Create output directory

2. Training Phase (Sequential)
   ├─ Train DQN (2 epochs)
   ├─ Train PPO (2 epochs)
   ├─ Train MAMBA (2 epochs)
   └─ Train TFT (2 epochs)

3. Validation Phase
   ├─ Check DQN .safetensors file
   ├─ Check PPO .safetensors file
   ├─ Check MAMBA .safetensors file
   └─ Check TFT .safetensors file

4. Summary Report
   ├─ Training results (success/fail + timing)
   ├─ Validation results (files found)
   ├─ Model file paths
   └─ Exit with appropriate code

Training Command Pattern

Each model is trained using:

cargo run --release --bin ml_training_cli -- train-model \
  --model-type {dqn|ppo|mamba|tft} \
  --data-path test_data/real/BTC-USD_20231001-20231231_databento_ohlcv-1s.parquet \
  --output-path test_data/models/MODEL_TIMESTAMP \
  --epochs 2 \
  --batch-size 32 \
  --learning-rate 0.001

Output Tracking

# Associative arrays for results
declare -A MODEL_STATUS    # SUCCESS/FAILED
declare -A MODEL_TIME      # Duration in seconds
declare -A MODEL_OUTPUT    # Log file path
declare -A MODEL_FILES     # Output file path

# Example:
MODEL_STATUS["DQN"]="SUCCESS"
MODEL_TIME["DQN"]="120"
MODEL_OUTPUT["DQN"]="test_data/models/DQN_20251014_011545.log"
MODEL_FILES["DQN"]="test_data/models/dqn_20251014_011545"

Success Criteria

Pass Conditions (Exit 0)

1. ✅ All 4 models train without errors
2. ✅ All 4 models save .safetensors files
3. ✅ Model files are non-empty (>1MB each)
4. ✅ No compilation errors
5. ✅ Script completes in reasonable time (<1 hour)

Fail Conditions (Exit 1)

1. ❌ Any model training crashes
2. ❌ Any model fails to save output
3. ❌ Data files missing (prerequisite)
4. ❌ Compilation errors
5. ❌ Script timeout or system errors

Testing Strategy

Unit Testing

# Syntax validation
bash -n scripts/validate_training.sh

# Prerequisites check only
scripts/validate_training.sh  # Will fail at data check if not ready

Integration Testing

# Full validation (requires data from Agent 19)
cd /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt
./scripts/validate_training.sh

# Expected output: 4/4 models pass, exit 0

Performance Testing

# Time the script
time ./scripts/validate_training.sh

# Expected: 10-30 minutes depending on hardware
# - GPU (RTX 3050 Ti): 12-18 minutes
# - CPU (Ryzen 9): 25-35 minutes

Performance Characteristics

Execution Times (Estimated)

Hardware	Total	DQN	PPO	MAMBA	TFT
RTX 3090	8-12 min	2 min	1.5 min	3 min	2.5 min
RTX 3050 Ti	12-18 min	3 min	2 min	5 min	4 min

• Disk I/O: ~200MB read (Parquet data), ~100MB write (models)
• CPU: 80-100% utilization per core
• GPU: 60-90% utilization if available

Error Handling

Common Errors and Solutions

1. "BTC data not found"

   • Cause: Agent 19 not run or data download failed
   • Solution: Run ./scripts/train_all_models_fixed.sh first

2. "cargo not found"

   • Cause: Rust toolchain not installed
   • Solution: Install via curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

3. "Model training failed"

   • Cause: OOM, CUDA errors, data format issues
   • Solution: Check model-specific log file in test_data/models/

4. "Model NOT saved"

   • Cause: Disk full, permissions error, training crash
   • Solution: Check disk space, log files, and permissions

Exit Code Reference

0   All tests passed (4/4 models)
1   One or more tests failed
2   Prerequisites missing (data files)
126 Script not executable (chmod +x needed)
