jgrusewski c363a7e94c feat(ml-alpha): TFT VSN forward+backward CUDA kernels (Phase 2D.1+2D.2)
Per-position softmax-normalised feature gating for the trunk entry.
Per (b, k) sample:
  gate_logit[i] = sum_j W_vsn[i, j] * x[j] + b_vsn[i]
  gates         = softmax(gate_logit)         # [FEATURE_DIM]
  y[i]          = x[i] * gates[i]

Backward chain rule (cleanly factored from the softmax Jacobian):
  d_gates[i] = grad_y[i] * x[i]
  d_logit[i] = gates[i] * (d_gates[i] - sum_j gates[j] * d_gates[j])
  grad_W[i,j] += d_logit[i] * x[j]
  grad_b[i]   += d_logit[i]
  grad_x[j]   = grad_y[j] * gates[j] + sum_i d_logit[i] * W[i,j]

Single-writer (no atomicAdd): thread tid owns row tid of grad_W and
column tid of d_x_via_W. ONE block per launch (loops n_rows internally),
same pattern as 2-layer / GRN bwd kernels.

Softmax uses standard max-subtract + sum trick for numerical
stability. Block dim = 64 (one warp + 24 idle threads at
FEATURE_DIM=40).

Wiring blocked on: Mamba2 backward needs to emit `d_input` (currently
dropped at line 1413 of mamba2_block.rs via `_d_input`). Next commit
exposes that so VSN bwd has the right grad_y signal — and the same
refactor unblocks Phase 2B (2-stack Mamba2 needs the inter-stack LN
to backprop through the 2nd stack's d_input).

build.rs:
  - "variable_selection" added to KERNELS
  - Cache bust → v9

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
