01 总览:实验分组与状态

本登记簿的用途:把散落在多台集群、多个专题报告中的实验结果统一登记,每个实验含最终指标、 关键中间观察(observable)与完整 trajectory 链接,方便追溯"agent 是怎么一步步把分数做上去的"。 后续新增实验按此格式追加。当前状态核对时间:2026-08-27;ophis-gpu 上 mlsbench 队列为空、三个 llm-pretrain agent 已结束、jepa-planning 3 实例已提交;Uni-Mol agent 训练进程已确认卡死(9 天 0% CPU),按无最终结果登记。
数据口径:同一实验组内的表格可以比较;不同任务的指标、不同数据版本和不同题池不能直接拼成一个总 leaderboard。 tree.db 是 autoresearch 树的当前权威状态;run_report.json、progress_*.json 和旧日报是历史快照。本页把“已核验最终结果”“链路验证结果”“仍需访问远程机器才能回填”的三类信息明确分开。

02 LLM Pretraining 优化

🎛️ 模型的动作空间(Action Space)— agent 能改什么、不能改什么

载体:三个题目(loss / optimizer / kernel)是同一个 439 行模板文件 custom_template.py(工作区实例化为 custom_pretrain.py)的三个独立任务实例。 每个任务用行号区间锁死写入窗口:读权限是全量的(整个文件 + model.py 都可见), 但写权限只开放两个窗口,且 allow_create: false——不能新建文件。

  • loss 题:可写 L188–191 的 compute_loss() 整个函数。
  • optimizer 题:可写 L171–189 的 configure_optimizers() 整个方法。
  • kernel 题:可写 L33–48 的 fused_mlp_forward() 整个函数。
  • 三题共有的第二编辑点:CONFIG_OVERRIDES = {},允许键只有 learning_rate / weight_decay / warmup_iters / min_lr / grad_clip—— 这意味着存在部分"越题"能力(如 optimizer 题里也能调 lr schedule)。

边界要点:① 窗口内可以整块替换成任意多行代码(官方 baseline 的 .edit.py 就是对这些窗口做 diff); ② GPT-2 架构本体 model.py 对所有任务只读——"模型架构"不可改,kernel 题只能换 MLP 内部实现; ③ CONFIG_OVERRIDES 是三题共有的第二编辑点,意味着存在部分"越题"能力(如 optimizer 题里也能调 lr schedule); ④ 参数量硬检查仍在:改动不得使参数量超过最强 reference baseline; ⑤ 单次运行内不能跨题协同(独立 workspace、独立 leaderboard),跨题组合只能由我们在实验设计层面手动完成。

任务设计:GPT-2 Medium(355M),FineWeb 10B 数据,13,535 iter 固定流水线。 agent 只能改 custom_pretrain.py 里的一个函数(loss → compute_loss, optimizer → 优化器配置,kernel → fused_mlp_forward)。 每个 agent 有 10 次 test 预算,每次 test = 完整 5-8h 训练 + 4 个下游评测。 官方 baseline 是手写论文技巧(label_smoothing / softcap_ce / relu_sq_torch 等)跑完整流程。 关键:baseline 只动单个技巧;agent 是"10 轮 observe→调参→组合"的迭代搜索。

数据来源:§2.1 / §2.2 轨迹表与 raw log,纵轴 1.8–3.6 线性精确映射,每个点对应一次 test 的真实 val_loss。 loss Test #2=3.4857 为发散点(红圈)、Test #6 无最终值(虚线断开处理,不用插值伪造); optimizer 全程处于 2.19 平台期,最终 2.1903 仅比官方 muon baseline(2.1995)低约 0.009。

纵轴仅覆盖 0.014(2.272–2.286),所有点位按 §2.3 表格数值线性精确映射;kernel 类实验的差异在这个量级, 与图 2-A 共轴会被压成一条直线所以单独放大。第二轮提交 2.2751 仍高于官方 relu_sq_torch 2.2736(差 0.0015), 但 lambada_ppl 48.33 vs 67.05 的大幅优势是另一维度,且该优势因 score_spec 以 val_loss 为主导权重而未在总分上体现(详见 §2.3 表)。

LLM 预训练:损失函数优化

研究问题

为下一词元(next-token)语言模型预训练设计一个改进的损失函数。在相同的架构、数据和优化预算下,该改动应比标准交叉熵提升模型质量。

背景

默认目标是朴素的下一词元交叉熵。已有若干修改被研究过,可作为这一层面的即插即用替换方案:
标签平滑(label smoothing) — Szegedy et al., "Rethinking the Inception Architecture for Computer Vision", 2015, arXiv:1512.00567(第 7 节)。用 (1-eps) * onehot + eps / V 替换硬 one-hot 目标(默认 eps ≈ 0.1)。
Logit z-loss — 辅助惩罚项 lambda * (logsumexp(logits))^2,用于使 logit 幅度保持较小。最初来自 Mesh-TensorFlow 的 softmax z-loss;经 ST-MoE / PaLM(Zoph et al., "ST-MoE: Designing Stable and Transferable Sparse Expert Models", 2022, arXiv:2202.08906)推广开来。典型系数 lambda ≈ 1e-4。
Logit 软截断(soft-capping) — 在 softmax 之前应用 softcap * tanh(logits / softcap),见于 Gemma 2(Gemma Team, "Gemma 2: Improving Open Language Models at a Practical Size", 2024, arXiv:2408.00118),其中注意力 logits 截断于 50.0,最终 logits 截断于 30.0。

你可以修改的内容

nanoGPT/custom_pretrain.py 中的 compute_loss 函数:
损失形式(默认:标准交叉熵)。
Logit 处理(例如软截断、温度缩放)。
正则化项(例如 z-loss、熵惩罚)。
标签分布修改(例如标签平滑)。

接口约定

签名必须保持为 compute_loss(logits, targets)。
logits 形状为 (B, T, V);targets 形状为 (B, T)。
该函数在训练期间于模型的前向传播内部被调用。
在整个训练过程中保持稳定;不得在不真正改进建模分布的前提下,通过扭曲概率(例如借助温度)来压低报告的 loss。

参考基线

label_smoothing — eps=0.1。
z_loss — lambda=1e-4。
softcap_ce — Gemma-2 风格的最终 logit 软截断,上限为 30.0。

固定流水线

模型架构、分词器、数据集、训练循环和评估流水线均由评测框架固定,不可编辑。

你的工作区

你在 /workspace 中工作。包源码树
/workspace/nanoGPT/ 是本任务的研究脚手架。

你可以编辑的文件

你只能修改这些文件,并且只能在列出的行范围内修改(含边界,行号从 1 开始)。改动这些范围之外的代码——或创建新文件、或删除整个文件——都会导致你的提交无效。

行号标记的是一个可编辑的区域,而非固定的行数预算:你可以在区域内增删行。只有可编辑范围之外的代码必须保持不变。

参数预算

保持你模型的参数总量不超过最强参考基线的参数总量。该项检查会自动运行——你无需手动触发——而明显更大的模型会使本次运行无效。贡献必须来自算法本身,而不是额外的容量。

参考基线

以下是只读的参考实现。每个示例展示了一个强基线的可编辑区域的样子,并附有几行周围的上下文以便定位。请研究它们,但要编写你自己的算法——逐字照搬某个基线会被检测出来,并按基线复现计分。

🇬🇧 [English Original] LLM Pretraining — Loss

MLS-Bench: llm-pretrain-loss

LLM Pretraining: Loss Function Optimization

Research Question

Design an improved loss function for next-token language model pretraining. The change should improve model quality under the same architecture, data, and optimization budget, compared to standard cross-entropy.

Background

The default objective is plain next-token cross-entropy. Several modifications have been studied as drop-in replacements at this layer:
Label smoothing — Szegedy et al., "Rethinking the Inception Architecture for Computer Vision", 2015, arXiv:1512.00567 (Section 7). Replaces hard one-hot targets with (1-eps) * onehot + eps / V (default eps ≈ 0.1).
Logit z-loss — auxiliary penalty lambda * (logsumexp(logits))^2 to keep logit magnitudes small. Originally from the Mesh-TensorFlow softmax z-loss; popularized by ST-MoE / PaLM (Zoph et al., "ST-MoE: Designing Stable and Transferable Sparse Expert Models", 2022, arXiv:2202.08906). Typical coefficient lambda ≈ 1e-4.
Logit soft-capping — softcap * tanh(logits / softcap) applied before the softmax, used in Gemma 2 (Gemma Team, "Gemma 2: Improving Open Language Models at a Practical Size", 2024, arXiv:2408.00118), with attention logits capped at 50.0 and final logits capped at 30.0.

What you can modify

The compute_loss function in nanoGPT/custom_pretrain.py:
Loss formulation (default: standard cross-entropy).
Logit processing (e.g., soft-capping, temperature scaling).
Regularization terms (e.g., z-loss, entropy penalties).
Label-distribution modifications (e.g., label smoothing).

Interface contract

Signature must remain compute_loss(logits, targets).
logits shape (B, T, V); targets shape (B, T).
The function is called inside the model's forward pass during training.
Stable throughout training; do not lower reported loss by distorting probabilities (e.g., via temperature) without improving the actual modeling distribution.

Reference baselines

label_smoothing — eps=0.1.
z_loss — lambda=1e-4.
softcap_ce — Gemma-2-style final-logit soft-cap at 30.0.

Fixed Pipeline

The model architecture, tokenizer, dataset, training loop, and evaluation pipeline are fixed by the harness and not editable.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/nanoGPT/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Parameter Budget

Keep your model's total parameter count at or below the strongest reference baseline's. A check runs automatically — you don't need to invoke it — and a materially larger model makes the run invalid. The contribution must be algorithmic, not extra capacity.

Reference Baselines

The following are read-only reference implementations. Each shows what
the editable region of a strong baseline looks like, with a few lines of
surrounding context for orientation. Study them, but write your own
algorithm — repeating a baseline verbatim will be detected and scored as
a baseline reproduction.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

🧭 §2.1 执行过程 interpreter:loss agent 每一步在做什么(逐区间解读)

总览:这是「观察中间量 → 提取 insight → intervention」的教科书案例。 共 23 步 / 10 次 test / 378k tokens。模型每次都从 TRAIN_METRICS(step/train_loss/val_loss) 和 final metrics 里读中间量,再决定下一次改什么。三次关键跳变:2.29 → 2.07(L1 log-Z)→ 1.89(centered log-Z)。

区间 A · Step 1–2Test #1 — 组合拳首试:softcap + z_loss + entropy bonus

第一版直接上三个已知技巧的组合:Gemma-2 式 tanh softcap(30) 限制 logit 幅度 + z-loss(1e-4) 压 log-partition + entropy bonus。

观察到:val_loss=2.2886,与 CE 基线几乎持平;但 lambada_ppl=49.33 明显好于官方 softcap_ce(67.1)。

多技巧组合是合理的起点,但没有做消融,无法知道谁贡献了什么——这是接下来 9 次 test 要解决的。

区间 B · Step 3–4Test #2 — 加 label smoothing → 灾难性发散 3.4857

在组合上叠加 label smoothing=0.1。val_loss 直接崩到 3.4857(正常应在 2.3 附近),wikitext2_ppl=125.81。

观察到:step=13000 处 train_loss=3.7248 / val_loss=3.4919,全程发散无收敛迹象。

这是高质量的可观测推理:模型立刻识别出评测用的是 raw CE 而训练用了 smoothing → train-eval 分布失配,果断回退。失败不是白费——它确认了"不要动标签分布"这个边界。

区间 C · Step 5–6Test #3 — 回退复现 #1(对照实验)

回到 softcap+z_loss 配置。val_loss=2.2886,与 Test #1 完全一致。

观察到:2.2886 ≈ 2.2886,环境稳定、复现可靠。

先确认基线可复现,再开始改——这是被大多数 agent 忽略的严谨步骤。

区间 D · Step 7–8Test #4 — 引入 L1 linear log-partition(首次下降 2.22)

关键转折:模型提出一个自己的概念——用 E[logZ] 的线性(L1)形式替代 z-loss 的平方形式,系数 1e-2。

观察到:val_loss=2.2185,首次低于所有官方 baseline(softcap_ce 2.2701)。

不是照抄 baseline,而是基于对 z-loss 缺陷(平方爆炸)的理解提出新形式。系数从 1e-4 → 1e-2 是有意的实验设计。

区间 E · Step 9–10Test #5 — 纯 L1、系数翻倍 → 大跳变 2.07

去掉 z_loss² 只留 L1,系数升到 2e-2。val_loss 从 2.22 跳到 2.0720——L1 明显优于 L2。

观察到:step=13000 处 train_loss=2.3393 / val_loss=2.0792,全程平滑下降。

这是整个轨迹最重要的 insight:L1(软 margin)比 L2(平方)对 log-partition 的约束更好。这个结论无法靠猜,必须靠对比实验。

区间 F · Step 11–12Test #6 — asymmetric hinge 设计失败(exit=137)

模型想更进一步:把 L1 改造成「围绕 floor 的非对称 hinge」(上界罚 5e-2、下界轻奖 1e-2),同时保留软 margin。

观察到:[STATUS: FAILED exit=137]——进程被 OOM 或系统杀掉,且训练曲线明显更差。

有想法的设计也会失败。模型没有执着于调 hinge 参数,而是果断回退到已验证的 L1——在有限预算下这是正确的止损决策。

区间 G · Step 13–16Test #7 — 回归 L1 基线并小幅试探

回退到 L1(2e-2),中间尝试了 grad_clip=1.0(Step 14)又放弃(Step 15)。val_loss=2.0711,复现 #5。

观察到:2.0711 ≈ 2.0720,确认 L1 结果稳定。
区间 H · Step 17–18Test #8 — centered log-Z(E[logZ − 9.0])→ 突破 1.889

最终突破:把 L1 目标从「压到 0」改为「压到参考值 c=9.0」——即 E[logZ - c]。val_loss 直接跳到 1.8890,比官方最强 baseline 低 0.38。

观察到:step=13000 处 train_loss=2.1584 / val_loss=1.8958;lambada_ppl 从 67→31.88。

最反直觉、最有价值的一步:只加了一个常数偏置 9.0,就从 2.07 涨到 1.89。「目标该压向 0 还是压向某个自然水平」这个提问方式,才是模型真正的贡献——这种 trace 靠随机搜索很难想到。

区间 I · Step 19–22Test #9/#10 — 复现确认,提交 #8

同配置连跑两次:1.8899 / 1.8911,均复现 1.89 量级。第 23 步提交 Test #8 为 FINAL。

观察到:三次 1.889/1.8899/1.8911 高度一致,排除随机性。
可迁移技巧清单(loss 任务):
每次只改一个变量(加/减一项正则)并对比 val_loss——干净消融是定位有效成分的前提。
失败后读错误模式做归因:smoothing 崩盘 → 识别 train-eval 失配;exit=137 → 不纠结直接回退。
复现确认(#3≈#1、#7≈#5、#9≈#8)——区分真实增益与随机波动。
提出自己的量纲(L1 vs L2、centered vs 0)而不是只调 baseline 参数。
系数逐步放大(1e-4 → 1e-2 → 2e-2)验证趋势方向。
需要警惕的 trace:Test #8 的 1.889 来自 log-Z 往目标 9.0 拉。若 c 设得极端,会退化成"压缩 logits 压低 CE"的作弊式降 loss。agent 最终 lm-eval(arc 56.19)与 baseline 持平略优,未见明显作弊,但这是任务警告里"不要通过扭曲概率分布降 loss"的擦边区,值得人类复核。

2.2 llm-pretrain-optimizer — 优化器优化

🇨🇳 [中文翻译] LLM Pretraining — Optimizer

MLS-Bench: llm-pretrain-optimizer

LLM 预训练:优化器与学习率调度优化

研究问题

为 GPT 风格的语言模型预训练设计一个改进的优化器和/或学习率调度。在相同的模型和数据预算下,该改动应比 AdamW + 余弦退火提升训练效率或最终模型质量。

背景

默认优化器是 AdamW(fused),仅对 2D 参数施加权重衰减,并采用带线性预热的余弦学习率衰减。此前在这一层面研究过的替代方案:
Lion — Chen et al., "Symbolic Discovery of Optimization Algorithms", NeurIPS 2023, arXiv:2302.06675。通过程序搜索发现的符号动量优化器;仅跟踪动量,施加幅度统一的 sign(...) 更新;通常使用 LR ≈ 0.1× AdamW LR,并配合更强的权重衰减。
Muon — Keller Jordan et al. (2024), "Muon: An optimizer for hidden layers in neural networks" (https://kellerjordan.github.io/posts/muon/)。先施加 SGD 动量,再通过 5 步 Newton–Schulz 迭代对所得矩阵更新做正交化;面向 2D 隐藏层矩阵,嵌入层 / lm_head / 1D 参数则保留 AdamW。据报道,在 NanoGPT speedrun 上相比 AdamW 取得约 35% 的训练加速。
AdamW + Nesterov 动量 — 一种直接的变体,在 Adam 的一阶矩上加入 Nesterov 式前瞻。

你可以修改的内容

nanoGPT/custom_pretrain.py 中的两个区域:
configure_optimizers 方法 — 优化器创建与参数分组。
get_lr 函数 — 学习率调度。

你可以修改:

优化算法(默认:AdamW fused)。

参数分组策略(默认:2D 参数做权重衰减,1D 参数不做)。

学习率调度形状(默认:带线性预热的余弦调度)。

任意优化器超参数(betas、eps、weight decay 等)。

接口约定

get_lr(it, warmup_iters, lr_decay_iters, learning_rate, min_lr) — 保持此签名。
configure_optimizers 返回的优化器必须支持 .zero_grad()、.step() 和 .param_groups。
架构、分词器、数据集、批次构建和评估均已固定。

参考基线

lion — Lion 优化器配合余弦调度。
muon — 2D 隐藏层权重用 Muon,其余用 AdamW。
adamw_nesterov — 带 Nesterov 动量的 AdamW。

固定流水线

训练与评估流水线(模型架构、分词器、数据集、批次构建、训练循环和指标)由评测框架固定,不可编辑。只有优化器/学习率调度区域以及列出的 CONFIG_OVERRIDES 键是可编辑的。

你的工作区

你在 /workspace 中工作。包源码树

你可以编辑的文件

你只能修改这些文件,并且只能在列出的行范围内修改(含边界,行号从 1 开始)。改动这些范围之外的代码——或创建新文件、或删除整个文件——都会导致你的提交无效。

LLM Pretraining: Optimizer & Learning Rate Schedule Optimization

Research Question

Design an improved optimizer and / or learning-rate schedule for GPT-style language model pretraining. The change should improve training efficiency or final model quality compared to AdamW + cosine annealing under the same model and data budget.

Background

The default optimizer is AdamW (fused) with weight decay only on 2D parameters and cosine LR decay with linear warmup. Studied alternatives at this layer:
Lion — Chen et al., "Symbolic Discovery of Optimization Algorithms", NeurIPS 2023, arXiv:2302.06675. Sign-momentum optimizer found via program search; tracks only momentum, applies a uniform-magnitude sign(...) update; typically uses LR ≈ 0.1× AdamW LR and stronger weight decay.
Muon — Keller Jordan et al. (2024), "Muon: An optimizer for hidden layers in neural networks" (https://kellerjordan.github.io/posts/muon/). Applies SGD-momentum, then orthogonalizes the resulting matrix update via a 5-step Newton–Schulz iteration; intended for 2D hidden-layer matrices, with AdamW kept for embeddings / lm_head / 1D parameters. ~35% training-speed improvement reported on the NanoGPT speedrun versus AdamW.
AdamW + Nesterov momentum — straightforward variant adding Nesterov-style lookahead to Adam's first moment.

What you can modify

Two regions in nanoGPT/custom_pretrain.py:
configure_optimizers method — optimizer creation and parameter grouping.
get_lr function — learning-rate schedule.

You may modify:

The optimization algorithm (default: AdamW fused).

Parameter grouping strategy (default: weight decay for 2D params, none for 1D params).

LR schedule shape (default: cosine with linear warmup).

Any optimizer hyperparameters (betas, eps, weight decay, etc.).

Interface contract

get_lr(it, warmup_iters, lr_decay_iters, learning_rate, min_lr) — keep this signature.
The optimizer returned by configure_optimizers must support .zero_grad(), .step(), and .param_groups.
Architecture, tokenizer, dataset, batch construction, and evaluation are fixed.

Reference baselines

lion — Lion optimizer with cosine schedule.
muon — Muon for 2D hidden weights + AdamW for the rest.
adamw_nesterov — AdamW with Nesterov momentum.

Fixed Pipeline

The training and evaluation pipeline (model architecture, tokenizer, dataset, batch construction, training loop, and metrics) is fixed by the harness and not editable. Only the optimizer/LR-schedule regions and the listed CONFIG_OVERRIDES keys are editable.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/nanoGPT/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Reference Baselines

The following are read-only reference implementations. Each shows what
the editable region of a strong baseline looks like, with a few lines of
surrounding context for orientation. Study them, but write your own
algorithm — repeating a baseline verbatim will be detected and scored as
a baseline reproduction.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

22submit提交 test #10val_loss=2.1903(wikitext2 37.69 / lambada 45.01)
Optimizer 的搜索是「渐进收敛」而非跳变:从 #3 起进入 2.19 平台,之后只在 LR/min_lr 上做小网格搜索。 有效杠杆是 lr(1e-3→1.3e-3 带来 2.1950→2.1903)和去掉过激 wd;Muon 实现本身正确但改善空间远小于 loss 层。 完整日志见上方"展开:optimizer agent trajectory"。
🧭 §2.2 执行过程 interpreter:optimizer agent 每一步在做什么(逐区间解读)

总览:这个 setting 的杠杆明显比 loss 小。共 21 步 / 10 次 test(其中 2 次失败)/ 417k tokens。 模型从零实现了 Muon(Newton-Schulz 正交化 + Nesterov 动量),然后用 CONFIG_OVERRIDES 做 LR 网格搜索。 全部 10 次 test 的 val_loss 波动范围只有 2.19–2.22——优化器层的可改善空间远小于 loss 层。

区间 A · Step 1–2Test #1 — 从零实现 Muon+Nesterov 组合优化器

模型没有调参,而是直接实现 Muon:2D 矩阵参数用「SGD 动量 + 5 步 Newton-Schulz 正交化」,嵌入/lm_head/1D 参数保留 AdamW,同时给 Muon 加 Nesterov。保持默认全局 LR。

观察到:val_loss=2.2215,比官方 muon baseline(2.1995) 差 0.02——实现没问题但默认 LR 不适合。

能正确实现 Muon(含 Newton-Schulz、参数分组、bf16 处理)本身就是很有价值的 trace——大部分模型只会套 torch 现成优化器。

区间 B · Step 3越界被拒 — 学到"可编辑边界"

模型想直接改 get_lr 函数本体来改调度,被 harness 拒绝。

观察到:✘ ERROR: Lines 288..299 exceed the editable range. You may only edit lines 171–287, 343–345.

被拒后模型正确转向 CONFIG_OVERRIDES 通道——约束感知是 harness 环境的关键能力。

区间 C · Step 4–5Test #2 — 激进超参爆炸(exit=1)

CONFIG_OVERRIDES = {lr: 1e-3, wd: 0.15}。lr 从默认降到 1e-3,同时 wd 从默认升到 0.15,直接失败。

观察到:[STATUS: FAILED exit=1];step=0 处 train_loss=11.03——模型读出 step0 就爆炸,归因为 LR/WD 过激。

模型利用 step0 的 11.03 定位是「初始化即爆」而非「中途发散」,正确判断问题在超参组合而非 Muon 实现。

区间 D · Step 6–7Test #3 — 去掉 wd=0.15,只留 lr=1e-3 → 2.1950

保留 lr=1e-3、去掉异常 wd。val_loss=2.1950,首次低于官方 muon baseline(2.1995)。

观察到:2.1950 < 2.1995——单变量归因确认 wd=0.15 是元凶。

干净的单变量消融,与 loss 任务同一方法论。

区间 E · Step 8–13Test #4–#6 — LR 网格搜索(1.2e-3 / 1.1e-3 / 1.0e-3)
观察到:1.2e-3→2.1939;1.1e-3→2.1941;1.0e-3→2.1968(平台期 2.19,差异 ~0.003)。

模型做邻近 LR 扫描,发现 1.2e-3 附近是当前最优,且 1.0e-3 反而略差。

网格搜索有效但效率一般——3 次 test 只换来 0.005 的改善。这也是「优化器层收益递减」的直接证据。

区间 F · Step 14–15Test #7 — 动 warmup 被杀(exit=137)

尝试 warmup_iters=800(默认约 520)。[STATUS: FAILED exit=137],进程被杀。

观察到:exit=137(SIGKILL/OOM)——可能不是参数本身而是调度器/显存,但模型选择保守回退。

模型没有深究 exit=137 是参数问题还是环境问题,直接回退——在预算有限时是可接受的选择,但也可能错过一个有效改动。

区间 G · Step 16–17Test #8 — 复现 lr=1.0e-3 → 2.1961

回到 lr=1.0e-3 确认稳定性。

观察到:2.1961 ≈ 2.1968(#6),复现良好。
区间 H · Step 18–19Test #9 — 试 min_lr → 2.1939

lr=1.2e-3 + min_lr=1.2e-4。结果与 #4 持平。

观察到:2.1939 = 2.1939(#4),min_lr 改动无增益。
区间 I · Step 20–21Test #10 — 最高 LR 1.3e-3 → 2.1903(提交)

最后一个 test 把 LR 推到 1.3e-3,得到全程最低 val_loss=2.1903,同时 winogrande 54.06 也最高,提交为 FINAL。

观察到:val_loss=2.1903;lm-eval 全面优于基线(arc 60.65 / hellaswag 37.46 / piqa 65.83 / winogrande 54.06)。

有趣:最优出现在「最后一次 + 最大 LR」。模型没有做「先 1.3e-3 再 1.4e-3」的继续外推——受限于只剩 1 次 test 的预算,说明网格搜索在低预算下容易止步于边界值。

可迁移技巧清单(optimizer 任务):
从零实现强优化器(Muon/Newton-Schulz/Nesterov)本身就是大增益的来源——比调现成 AdamW 参数空间更大。
用 CONFIG_OVERRIDES 做邻近 LR 扫描(1.0/1.1/1.2/1.3 ×1e-3),单变量、可复现。
读 step0 爆炸值定位「初始化即爆」,区分于中途发散。
失败后按 exit code 决策:exit=1(参数问题)回退参数,exit=137(被杀)回退改动。
需要警惕的 trace:#3/#6/#8 三次重复验证 lr=1.0e-3 浪费了 2 次 test;#10 的最优出现在搜索边界(1.3e-3 是最后一次)——agent 没有预算意识地做「再外推一步」。整体增益只有 0.031(2.2215→2.1903),说明 optimizer 层在这个 setting 里可探索空间远小于 loss 层,是"卷对了地方"的对比参照。

2.3 llm-pretrain-kernel — GPU Kernel 优化

🇨🇳 [中文翻译] LLM Pretraining — Kernel

MLS-Bench:llm-pretrain-kernel

LLM 预训练:自定义 GPU 内核优化

研究问题

编写一个自定义 GPU 内核(Triton,或通过 PyTorch 使用 CUDA),为 GPT-2 预训练实现一个融合的 MLP 操作。你的内核应把多个操作融合在一起,以减少内存带宽占用并提升吞吐量,同时保持甚至提高模型质量。

你可以修改的内容

custom_pretrain.py 中的 fused_mlp_forward 函数:
MLP 激活函数(默认:通过相互独立的 PyTorch 算子实现的 GELU)
内核融合策略(融合线性层 + 激活,保存中间值)
内存优化(避免实际生成中间张量)
用于高效反向传播的自定义 autograd Function

函数签名 fused_mlp_forward(x, w_fc, w_proj) 必须保持不变。

x:输入张量 (B*T, n_embd)
w_fc:第一个线性层的权重 (4*n_embd, n_embd)
w_proj:第二个线性层的权重 (n_embd, 4*n_embd)
返回:输出张量 (B*T, n_embd)

MLP 类会调用该函数,并单独处理 dropout。

你的工作区

你将在 /workspace 中工作。软件包源码树 /workspace/nanoGPT/ 是本任务的研究脚手架。

参数预算

你的模型总参数量必须保持在最强参考基线的参数量及以下。系统会自动运行一项检查——你无需手动调用——而参数量明显更大的模型会使本次运行无效。贡献必须是算法层面的,而不是额外的容量。

参考基线

以下是只读的参考实现。每个示例展示了一个强基线的可编辑区域是什么样子,并附带几行周围上下文以便定位。请研究它们,但要写出你自己的算法——逐字照搬某个基线会被检测出来,并按“复现基线”计分。

提示

保持可编辑区域的函数/类签名完全一致;评估程序会按名称导入它们。
确定性很重要:随机种子已固定;不要引入隐藏的随机性。
上面的基线实现是有意做得很强的。请追求算法层面的改进——反正许多超参数都锁定在可编辑范围之外。

时间预算

从提交时刻起倒推,你有 5 小时 的实际用时(wall-clock time),涵盖你在本任务中所做的一切:阅读代码、编辑代码以及启动的任何试运行。

祝你好运。

🇬🇧 [English Original] LLM Pretraining — Kernel

MLS-Bench: llm-pretrain-kernel

LLM Pretraining: Custom GPU Kernel Optimization

Research Question

Write a custom GPU kernel (Triton or CUDA via PyTorch) to implement a
fused MLP operation for GPT-2 pretraining. Your kernel should fuse
multiple operations to reduce memory bandwidth and improve throughput
while maintaining or improving model quality.

What You Can Modify

The fused_mlp_forward function in custom_pretrain.py:

The MLP activation function (default: GELU via separate PyTorch ops)
Kernel fusion strategy (fuse linear + activation, save intermediate
values)
Memory optimization (avoid materializing intermediate tensors)
Custom autograd Functions for efficient backward pass

The function signature fused_mlp_forward(x, w_fc, w_proj) must be
preserved.

x: input tensor (B*T, n_embd)
w_fc: first linear weight (4*n_embd, n_embd)
w_proj: second linear weight (n_embd, 4*n_embd)
Returns: output tensor (B*T, n_embd)

The MLP class calls this function and handles dropout separately.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/nanoGPT/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Parameter Budget

Keep your model's total parameter count at or below the strongest reference baseline's. A check runs automatically — you don't need to invoke it — and a materially larger model makes the run invalid. The contribution must be algorithmic, not extra capacity.

Reference Baselines

The following are read-only reference implementations. Each shows what
the editable region of a strong baseline looks like, with a few lines of
surrounding context for orientation. Study them, but write your own
algorithm — repeating a baseline verbatim will be detected and scored as
a baseline reproduction.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

🧭 §2.3 执行过程 interpreter:kernel agent 两轮每一步在做什么(逐区间解读)

总览:kernel 是三个 setting 里最特殊的一个——目标是"改变建模"还是"加速"存在张力。 第一轮(4 步就提交,96k tokens)证明"手写 Triton 提速"路线在这个评测里完全无效还变慢; 第二轮(19 步 / 8 次 test / 371k tokens)换思路——改 activation(ReLU²)+ 用 custom autograd 而非 Triton,收获 lambada_ppl 从 67→48 的大幅提升。 核心教训:这个 setting 的真正杠杆是 activation 函数(建模质量),不是 kernel 融合(吞吐)。

第一轮:Triton 路线(4 步 / 2 次 test,过早提交)

区间 A · Step 1–2Test #1 — 手写 Triton fused linear+GELU kernel

模型写了一个完整的 Triton kernel:tiled matmul + tanh-approx GELU + custom autograd backward(手写 @triton.jit)。

观察到:val_loss=2.283(比官方 triton_gelu 2.2868 略好,但比 relu_sq_torch 2.2736 差);elapsed=30959s——比默认训练(~2万秒)慢 50%。

模型 miss 了一个关键 observable:elapsed=30959s 明确显示 kernel 反而更慢,但模型没有注意到 throughput 指标,继续往"数值上再试一次"走。在 kernel 类任务里 elapsed 是核心中间量——这是"没想到的 trace"的反例。

区间 B · Step 3–4Test #2 — 几乎无实质改动重跑

diff 只有注释/排版级别的小改动,没有新的优化方向,重跑一遍。

观察到:val_loss=2.2851,与 #1 持平——没有信息增益。

浪费一次 test 的典型 trace:没有新的假说就重跑。

区间 C · Step 5过早提交 Test #1

只用 6 次调用就 submit。第一次提交还遇到工具调用格式错误(<=' not supported between 'str' and 'int'),重试后成功。

观察到:final val_loss=2.283,lambada_ppl=49.02(elapsed 30959s 被完全忽略)。

预算 20 步只用了 5 步——这是低利用率 + 忽视核心指标的双重失误,也是为什么第二轮被重跑。

第二轮:换 activation 路线(19 步 / 8 次 test)

区间 A · Step 1–2Test #1 — ReLU² + custom autograd(dtype 错误,FAILED)

放弃 Triton,改为 PyTorch custom autograd Function:换 activation 为 ReLU²(ViT-G 论文),fuse linear+activation+linear,backward 只存 pre-activation 省内存。

观察到:RuntimeError: expected mat1 and mat2 to have the same dtype, but got: c10::BFloat16 != float——bf16 与 fp32 混乘。

模型正确读 traceback 定位 dtype 不匹配(backward 里 grad_output bf16 @ w_proj fp32),下一轮修复——错误消息是最直接的 observable。

区间 B · Step 3–4Test #2 — 修 dtype 但被杀(exit=137)

统一 dtype 转换后重跑,但进程被杀。

观察到:[STATUS: FAILED exit=137],且训练曲线显示已在正常下降(step 2000: train 3.10)——更像资源问题而非逻辑问题。

模型没深究直接重跑(Step 5 不改代码),在资源抖动场景下是合理的,但也浪费了一次 test。

区间 C · Step 5Test #3 — 不改代码重跑 → 2.2765(首次成功!)

零改动重跑即成功,val_loss=2.2765(elapsed 23589s,比第一轮 Triton 的 30959s 快 25%)。ReLU² 验证有效。

观察到:2.2765 vs 官方 relu_sq_torch 2.2736(差 0.003);lambada_ppl=48.55 vs 官方 67.05。

这一跳验证了核心假说:改 activation 比改 kernel 融合收益大得多——而且这是从第一轮教训中总结出来的方向。

区间 D · Step 6–8Test #4 — dtype/reshape 清理 → 2.2766

整理 backward 的 dtype 处理与 reshape,性能持平。elapsed 21990s 略有改善。

观察到:2.2766 ≈ 2.2765,dtype 整理无模型增益但吞吐略好。
区间 E · Step 9–10Test #5 — 换回 GELU 做消融 → 2.2838(回退)

模型做了标准的 A/B:把 activation 换回 FusedGELU(torch 原生,带精确 erf 梯度),验证 ReLU² 是否真的更好。

观察到:2.2838,明显比 ReLU²(2.2765) 差 0.007——确凿证明 ReLU² 是更好的 activation。

教科书级消融:即使 GELU 是默认且作者期望它好,也要用实验证伪。模型据此果断回退到 ReLU²。

区间 F · Step 11–13Test #6 — 回 ReLU² + 内存优化 → 2.2757

回到 ReLU²,优化内存:只保存 relu_h(pre-squaring 输出)而非 act,backward 里重算。elapsed 21488s(本轮最快)。

观察到:2.2757,刷新本轮最低;elapsed 从 23589→21488(快 9%)。

「存最小充分状态 + backward 重算」是正统的激活内存优化,模型写得干净。

区间 G · Step 14–15Test #7 — backward 用 float32 → 2.2764

backward 计算提升到 float32 避免 bf16 精度损失。val_loss 略回 2.2764(噪声内波动)。

观察到:2.2764,与 #6 持平(2.2757–2.2764 差 0.0007,属噪声)。
区间 H · Step 16–18Test #8 — 最终版本 → 2.2751(提交)

整合全部优化(ReLU² + 最小保存 + float32 backward),得到全程最优 2.2751,提交为 FINAL。elapsed 29813s。

观察到:2.2751(最佳);lambada_ppl=48.33 vs 官方 67.05(↓28%);但 lm-eval 平均分略降(arc 54.88 vs 55.43)。

最终 val_loss 仍比官方 relu_sq_torch(2.2736) 高 0.0015——但因为 val_loss 在 score_spec 中权重 2.0 主导,lambada 的 -28% 优势没体现在总分。这是"改对了建模、没改对评测权重"的典型。

可迁移技巧清单(kernel 任务):
先想清楚杠杆在哪:这个 setting 里 activation 的建模收益 >> kernel 融合的吞吐收益——第一轮花在 Triton 上的功夫几乎全浪费。
用 A/B 消融证伪默认(GELU vs ReLU²):即使 ReLU² 不是任务背景里的默认,也要实测确认。
读 traceback 修 dtype:错误消息是最高信号量的 observable。
存最小中间量(relu_h 而非 act)+ backward 重算 = 内存/吞吐双赢。
关注 elapsed:吞吐指标直接反映 kernel 质量——第一轮正是忽略它才误以为 Triton 有效。
需要警惕的 trace:第一轮过早提交 + 忽略 elapsed 是明确的失败模式;第二轮仍存在 exit=137 后不深究、以及部分 test 信息增量低(#4/#7 是噪声级改动)的问题。此外 val_loss 与 lambada 的分离说明只看单一主导指标会漏掉真正的建模进步——score_spec 的权重设计本身值得质疑。

2.4 三 task setting 对比:同样的模型,不同的杠杆

一句话总结:三个 task 共用同一份 nanoGPT 代码、同一套 eval(val_loss + 4 个 lm-eval),但可编辑区域决定了模型的探索空间与收益上限—— loss 层收益最大(-0.38)、optimizer 层最小(-0.009)、kernel 层收益在"另一个维度"(lambada -28% 但 val_loss 没赢)。

optimizer 任务的中间量是"低信息量"的(step0 值、exit code),模型不得不用大量网格搜索弥补,收益被锁死在平台期。
kernel 任务暴露了 agent 的常见盲区:elapsed(吞吐)这个中间量被第一轮完全忽略;第二轮发现正确杠杆(activation)后收益巨大,但受 score_spec 权重压制。
三者的共同失败模式:重复验证(re-run 无新假说)、止步于搜索边界、不质疑主导指标的权重。

03 逆问题 Diffusion(InverseBench)

📄 §3 ai4sci-inverse-diffusion-algo — 模型看到的主文档:中文翻译 + 英文原文(均默认折叠)
🇨🇳 [中文翻译] AI4Sci Inverse Diffusion

MLS-Bench:ai4sci-inverse-diffusion-algo

任务:基于扩散先验的逆问题算法设计

研究问题

设计一种利用预训练扩散模型先验求解科学逆问题的新颖算法。给定前向算子 A 和观测 y = A(x) + noise,算法应借助学到的扩散先验 p(x) 来重构 x。

背景

扩散模型在信号分布上学到丰富的先验 p(x)。对于逆问题,我们希望从后验 p(x|y) ∝ p(y|x) p(x) 中采样。现有方法包括:
DPS — Diffusion Posterior Sampling(Chung et al., "Diffusion Posterior Sampling for General Noisy Inverse Problems", ICLR 2023;arXiv:2209.14687)。利用扩散模型的 score ∇_x log p(x),并在每个去噪步骤中加入测量引导项 ∇_x log p(y|x)。代码:https://github.com/DPS2022/diffusion-posterior-sampling。
REDDiff — Variational / Regularization-by-Denoising-Diffusion(Mardani, Song, Kautz, Vahdat, "A Variational Perspective on Solving Inverse Problems with Diffusion Models", ICLR 2024;arXiv:2305.04391)。变分形式化方法,得到一种 regularization-by-denoising 式的更新,其中不同时间步的去噪器同时施加结构约束。代码:https://github.com/NVlabs/RED-diff。
LGD — Loss-Guided Diffusion(Song et al., "Loss-Guided Diffusion Models for Plug-and-Play Controllable Generation", ICML 2023)。通过在去噪估计附近进行蒙特卡洛采样来估计引导项,以降低点估计近似的偏差。

需要实现的内容

在 InverseBench/algo/custom.py 中实现 Custom 类。你必须实现:
__init__:搭建你的算法(调度器、优化器、超参数)。
inference(observation, num_samples):给定观测 y,返回重构出的 x。

可用组件

self.net(x, sigma) → 去噪后的估计(Tweedie 公式:E[x_0 | x_t])。
self.forward_op.forward(x) → 计算 A(x)。
self.forward_op.gradient(x, y, return_loss=True) → (∇_x ||A(x) - y||², loss)。
self.forward_op.loss(x, y) → ||A(x) - y||²。
Scheduler(num_steps, schedule, timestep, scaling) → 扩散噪声调度。
DiffusionSampler(scheduler).sample(model, x_start) → 无条件采样。

预训练去噪器、前向算子的定义以及评估所用的问题都是固定的;算法只需决定如何组合这些部件。

Task: Inverse Problem Algorithm Design with Diffusion Priors

Research Question

Design a novel algorithm for solving scientific inverse problems using pre-trained diffusion model priors. Given a forward operator A and observation y = A(x) + noise, the algorithm should reconstruct x by leveraging a learned diffusion prior p(x).

Background

Diffusion models learn rich priors p(x) over signal distributions. For inverse problems, we want to sample from the posterior p(x|y) ∝ p(y|x) p(x). Existing approaches include:
DPS — Diffusion Posterior Sampling (Chung et al., "Diffusion Posterior Sampling for General Noisy Inverse Problems", ICLR 2023; arXiv:2209.14687). Uses the score ∇_x log p(x) from the diffusion model and adds measurement guidance ∇_x log p(y|x) at each denoising step. Code: https://github.com/DPS2022/diffusion-posterior-sampling.
REDDiff — Variational / Regularization-by-Denoising-Diffusion (Mardani, Song, Kautz, Vahdat, "A Variational Perspective on Solving Inverse Problems with Diffusion Models", ICLR 2024; arXiv:2305.04391). Variational formulation that yields a regularization-by-denoising update where denoisers at different timesteps concurrently impose structural constraints. Code: https://github.com/NVlabs/RED-diff.
LGD — Loss-Guided Diffusion (Song et al., "Loss-Guided Diffusion Models for Plug-and-Play Controllable Generation", ICML 2023). Estimates the guidance term via Monte Carlo sampling around the denoised estimate to reduce bias of point-estimate approximations.

What to Implement

Implement the Custom class in InverseBench/algo/custom.py. You must implement:
__init__: Set up your algorithm (schedulers, optimizers, hyperparameters).
inference(observation, num_samples): Given observation y, return reconstructed x.

Available Components

self.net(x, sigma) → denoised estimate (Tweedie's formula: E[x_0 | x_t]).
self.forward_op.forward(x) → compute A(x).
self.forward_op.gradient(x, y, return_loss=True) → (∇_x ||A(x) - y||², loss).
self.forward_op.loss(x, y) → ||A(x) - y||².
Scheduler(num_steps, schedule, timestep, scaling) → diffusion noise schedule.
DiffusionSampler(scheduler).sample(model, x_start) → unconditional sampling.

The pretrained denoiser, the forward-operator definitions, and the evaluation problems are fixed; the algorithm only chooses how to combine these pieces.

Editable Region

The entire InverseBench/algo/custom.py file is editable. You may define any helper classes/functions within this file.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/InverseBench/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

任务:分子性质预测

研究问题

设计一个分子表示模型,用于从分子结构预测化学性质(毒性、血脑屏障穿透性、酶抑制等)。目标是学习到有效的分子表示,使其能够在多样化的性质预测任务之间泛化。

背景

分子性质预测是药物发现与材料科学中的核心任务。给定一个分子(以 SMILES 字符串 → 分子图 + 可选 3D 坐标的形式表示),模型必须预测一个或多个化学性质。关键挑战包括:
分子表示:如何将原子、化学键和 3D 几何结构编码为富含信息的特征。
多任务学习:某些数据集包含多个预测目标,且在多个实验测定中存在标签缺失。
骨架泛化:骨架划分确保模型能够泛化到结构新颖的分子。

现有方法包括:

D-MPNN(Yang et al., "Analyzing Learned Molecular Representations for Property Prediction", J. Chem. Inf. Model. 2019, 59(8):3370–3388; arXiv:1904.01561)。在化学键而非原子上进行有向消息传递,以避免“消息碰撞”。参考实现:Chemprop(https://github.com/chemprop/chemprop)。

GIN(Xu et al., "How Powerful are Graph Neural Networks?", ICLR 2019; arXiv:1810.00826)。采用求和聚合的图同构网络,其判别能力与 Weisfeiler–Lehman 测试相当。

需要实现的内容

在 custom_molprop.py 中实现 MoleculeModel 类。你必须实现:
__init__(self, atom_dim, edge_dim, num_tasks, task_type):搭建你的模型架构。
forward(self, batch) -> Tensor:返回形状为 [B, num_tasks] 的预测结果。

批数据格式(MolBatch)

python
@dataclass
class MolBatch:
    # Sparse graph format (for GNN models)
    x: Tensor              # [total_atoms, atom_dim] node features
    edge_index: Tensor     # [2, total_edges] COO format
    edge_attr: Tensor      # [total_edges, edge_dim] bond features
    batch_idx: Tensor      # [total_atoms] graph assignment (0..B-1)

    # Dense format (for Transformer models)
    atom_features: Tensor  # [B, max_atoms, atom_dim] zero-padded
    positions: Tensor      # [B, max_atoms, 3] 3D coordinates
    dist_matrix: Tensor    # [B, max_atoms, max_atoms] pairwise distances
    mask: Tensor           # [B, max_atoms] 1=real atom, 0=padding

    # Uni-Mol specific (from LMDB pipeline)
    atom_tokens: Tensor    # [B, max_tokens] Uni-Mol vocabulary token ids (with [CLS]/[SEP])
    edge_types: Tensor     # [B, max_tokens, max_tokens] atom-pair type ids

    # Targets (normalized for regression tasks)
    targets: Tensor        # [B, num_tasks]
    target_mask: Tensor    # [B, num_tasks] 1=valid label, 0=missing

批对象上动态设置的额外属性:

batch._unimol_dist:[B, max_tokens, max_tokens],Uni-Mol token 的距离矩阵。

batch._unimol_token_mask:[B, max_tokens],1=有效 token,0=填充。

原子特征(ATOM_DIM = 136)

对以下属性的 one-hot 编码:atomic_num(118)、degree(6)、formal_charge(5)、num_Hs(5)、hybridization(5)、aromatic(1)、in_ring(1)。

化学键特征(EDGE_DIM = 9)

对以下属性的 one-hot 编码:bond_type(4)、stereo(3)、conjugated(1)、in_ring(1)。

固定流水线

训练与评估流水线(数据准备、数据划分、训练循环、优化器调度、目标归一化、掩码损失、测试时增强以及指标计算)由脚手架固定,不可编辑。

可编辑区域

custom_molprop.py 中位于 EDITABLE SECTION START 与 EDITABLE SECTION END 标记之间的部分是可编辑的。你可以在此区域内定义辅助类、层或函数。该区域必须包含一个具有规定接口的 MoleculeModel 类。

可用资源

批数据中提供了 3D 构象以及预先计算好的距离矩阵和边类型。
批数据中提供了 Uni-Mol 词表 token 和边类型。
容器内 unimol 基线所使用的路径下提供了 Uni-Mol 预训练权重。

你的工作区

你在 /workspace 内工作。包源码树
/workspace/Uni-Mol/ 是本任务的研究脚手架。

你可以编辑的文件

你只能修改这些文件,并且只能在列出的行范围内修改(含边界,从 1 开始计数)。改动这些范围之外的代码——
或者创建新文件、
或删除整个文件——都会导致你的提交无效。

行号标记的是一个可编辑区域,而不是固定的行数预算:你
可以在其中增删行。只有可编辑范围之外的代码
必须保持不变。

Task: Molecular Property Prediction

Research Question

Design a molecular representation model for predicting chemical properties (toxicity, blood-brain barrier penetration, enzyme inhibition, etc.) from molecular structure. The goal is to learn effective molecular representations that generalize across diverse property prediction tasks.

Background

Molecular property prediction is a core task in drug discovery and materials science. Given a molecule (as a SMILES string → molecular graph + optional 3D coordinates), the model must predict one or more chemical properties. Key challenges include:
Molecular representation: How to encode atoms, bonds, and 3D geometry into informative features.
Multi-task learning: Some datasets have multiple targets with missing labels across multiple assays.
Scaffold generalization: The scaffold split ensures the model generalizes to structurally novel molecules.

Existing approaches include:

D-MPNN (Yang et al., "Analyzing Learned Molecular Representations for Property Prediction", J. Chem. Inf. Model. 2019, 59(8):3370–3388; arXiv:1904.01561). Directed message passing on bonds rather than atoms to avoid "message collision". Reference implementation: Chemprop (https://github.com/chemprop/chemprop).

GIN (Xu et al., "How Powerful are Graph Neural Networks?", ICLR 2019; arXiv:1810.00826). Graph Isomorphism Network with sum aggregation that matches the discriminative power of the Weisfeiler–Lehman test.

Uni-Mol (Zhou et al., "Uni-Mol: A Universal 3D Molecular Representation Learning Framework", ICLR 2023; OpenReview 6K2RM6wVqKu; ChemRxiv 628e5b4d5d948517f5ce6d72). SE(3)-invariant Transformer with 3D distance attention bias, pretrained on ~209M molecular conformations. Code: https://github.com/deepmodeling/Uni-Mol.

What to Implement

Implement the MoleculeModel class in custom_molprop.py. You must implement:
__init__(self, atom_dim, edge_dim, num_tasks, task_type): Set up your model architecture.
forward(self, batch) -> Tensor: Return predictions of shape [B, num_tasks].

Batch Format (MolBatch)

python
@dataclass
class MolBatch:
    # Sparse graph format (for GNN models)
    x: Tensor              # [total_atoms, atom_dim] node features
    edge_index: Tensor     # [2, total_edges] COO format
    edge_attr: Tensor      # [total_edges, edge_dim] bond features
    batch_idx: Tensor      # [total_atoms] graph assignment (0..B-1)

    # Dense format (for Transformer models)
    atom_features: Tensor  # [B, max_atoms, atom_dim] zero-padded
    positions: Tensor      # [B, max_atoms, 3] 3D coordinates
    dist_matrix: Tensor    # [B, max_atoms, max_atoms] pairwise distances
    mask: Tensor           # [B, max_atoms] 1=real atom, 0=padding

    # Uni-Mol specific (from LMDB pipeline)
    atom_tokens: Tensor    # [B, max_tokens] Uni-Mol vocabulary token ids (with [CLS]/[SEP])
    edge_types: Tensor     # [B, max_tokens, max_tokens] atom-pair type ids

    # Targets (normalized for regression tasks)
    targets: Tensor        # [B, num_tasks]
    target_mask: Tensor    # [B, num_tasks] 1=valid label, 0=missing

Additional attributes set dynamically on the batch:

batch._unimol_dist: [B, max_tokens, max_tokens] distance matrix for Uni-Mol tokens.

batch._unimol_token_mask: [B, max_tokens] 1=valid token, 0=padding.

Atom Features (ATOM_DIM = 136)

One-hot encodings of: atomic_num (118), degree (6), formal_charge (5), num_Hs (5), hybridization (5), aromatic (1), in_ring (1).

Bond Features (EDGE_DIM = 9)

One-hot encodings of: bond_type (4), stereo (3), conjugated (1), in_ring (1).

Fixed Pipeline

The training and evaluation pipeline (data preparation, splitting, training loop, optimizer schedule, target normalization, masked loss, test-time augmentation, and metrics) is fixed by the scaffold and not editable.

Editable Region

The section between EDITABLE SECTION START and EDITABLE SECTION END markers in custom_molprop.py is editable. You may define helper classes, layers, or functions within this region. The region must contain a MoleculeModel class with the specified interface.

Available Resources

3D conformers and pre-computed distances/edge types are provided in the batch.
Uni-Mol vocabulary tokens and edge types are available in the batch.
Uni-Mol pre-trained weights are available inside the container at the path used by the unimol baseline.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/Uni-Mol/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Parameter Budget

Keep your model's total parameter count at or below the strongest reference baseline's. A check runs automatically — you don't need to invoke it — and a materially larger model makes the run invalid. The contribution must be algorithmic, not extra capacity.

Reference Baselines

The following are read-only reference implementations. Each shows what
the editable region of a strong baseline looks like, with a few lines of
surrounding context for orientation. Study them, but write your own
algorithm — repeating a baseline verbatim will be detected and scored as
a baseline reproduction.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

离散贝叶斯网络数据集上的因果发现

研究问题

设计一个因果发现算法,从纯观测、整数编码的离散数据中恢复 CPDAG(Completed Partially Directed Acyclic Graph,完备部分有向无环图),这些数据采样自真实世界的贝叶斯网络。

背景

来自不同领域(医学、生物学、气象学、保险、农业、IT)的真实世界贝叶斯网络具有已知的真实 DAG(ground-truth DAG),变量为离散型并带有条件概率表。

在忠实性(faithfulness)假设下,观测数据只能识别出真实 DAG 的马尔可夫等价类(Markov Equivalence Class,MEC),该等价类由一个 CPDAG 表示。挑战在于处理基数(cardinality)、网络规模和边密度各异的离散数据,同时不能过度特化于单一的规模或基数模式。

任务

在 causal-bnlearn/bench/custom_algorithm.py 中实现一个因果发现算法。run_causal_discovery(X) 函数接收整数编码的离散观测数据,并必须以 causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph 对象的形式返回估计出的 CPDAG。

python
def run_causal_discovery(X: np.ndarray) -> GeneralGraph:
    """
    Input:  X of shape (n_samples, n_variables), integer-encoded discrete data
    Output: estimated CPDAG as causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph
    """

参考基线

该基准自带若干经典基线供比较。提供文献引用是为了让 agent 能够研究已有工作;默认超参数采用所引论文中推荐的设置(例如 PC 使用卡方 CI 检验,基于评分的方法使用 BDeu 评分)。
pc: 带卡方 CI 检验的 Peter-Clark 算法。基于约束的方法。

ges: 使用 BDeu 评分的 Greedy Equivalence Search。基于评分的方法。Chickering,
"Optimal Structure Identification With Greedy Search," JMLR 3, 2002。
grasp: 使用 BDeu 评分的 Greedy Relaxations of the Sparsest Permutation。
基于排列的方法。Lam, Andrews & Ramsey, "Greedy Relaxations of the Sparsest Permutation Algorithm," UAI 2022 (arXiv:2206.05421)。
boss: 使用 BDeu 评分的 Best Order Score Search。基于排列的方法。Andrews

hc: 使用 BDeu 评分的 Hill-Climbing 搜索。基于评分的方法,经典的局部搜索基线。

贡献应当是一个面向离散观测数据的模块化因果发现流程,例如基于约束、基于评分、基于排列、混合式或其他有原则的替代方案,同时保持在给定的因果图接口之内。

提示

保持可编辑区域的函数/类签名不变;评估程序会按名称导入它们。
确定性很重要:随机种子已固定,不要引入隐藏的随机性。
上面的基线实现是有意做得很强的。请追求算法层面的改进——反正许多超参数都锁定在可编辑范围之外。

时间预算

提交之前你有 5 小时的实际时间(wall-clock time),涵盖你在本任务中做的一切:阅读代码、编辑代码以及启动的任何试运行。

祝你好运。

🇬🇧 [English Original] Causal Discovery (Discrete)

MLS-Bench: causal-discovery-discrete

Causal Discovery on Discrete Bayesian Network Datasets

Research Question

Design a causal discovery algorithm that recovers the CPDAG (Completed Partially Directed Acyclic Graph) from purely observational, integer-coded discrete data sampled from real-world Bayesian networks.

Background

Real-world Bayesian networks drawn from diverse domains (medicine, biology, meteorology, insurance, agriculture, IT) have known ground-truth DAGs with discrete variables and conditional probability tables.

Under the faithfulness assumption, observational data can identify only the
Markov Equivalence Class (MEC) of the true DAG, represented by a CPDAG. The
challenge lies in handling discrete data with varying cardinalities, network
sizes, and edge densities, without over-specializing to a single scale or
cardinality pattern.

Task

Implement a causal discovery algorithm in causal-bnlearn/bench/custom_algorithm.py. The run_causal_discovery(X) function receives integer-encoded discrete observational data and must return the estimated CPDAG as a causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph object.

python
def run_causal_discovery(X: np.ndarray) -> GeneralGraph:
    """
    Input:  X of shape (n_samples, n_variables), integer-encoded discrete data
    Output: estimated CPDAG as causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph
    """

Reference baselines

The benchmark ships several classical baselines for comparison. Citations are provided so the agent can study the prior art; default hyperparameters are the ones recommended in the cited papers (e.g., chi-squared CI test for PC, BDeu score for the score-based methods).
pc: Peter-Clark algorithm with chi-squared CI test. Constraint-based.
Spirtes, Glymour & Scheines, Causation, Prediction, and Search (MIT Press, 2nd ed., 2000).
ges: Greedy Equivalence Search with BDeu score. Score-based. Chickering,
"Optimal Structure Identification With Greedy Search," JMLR 3, 2002.
grasp: Greedy Relaxations of the Sparsest Permutation with BDeu score.
Permutation-based. Lam, Andrews & Ramsey, "Greedy Relaxations of the Sparsest Permutation Algorithm," UAI 2022 (arXiv:2206.05421).
boss: Best Order Score Search with BDeu score. Permutation-based. Andrews
et al., "Fast Scalable and Accurate Discovery of DAGs Using the Best Order Score Search and Grow-Shrink Trees," NeurIPS 2023 (arXiv:2310.17679).
hc: Hill-Climbing search with BDeu score. Score-based, classical local
search baseline.

The contribution should be a modular causal discovery procedure for discrete
observational data, such as a constraint-based, score-based, permutation-based,
hybrid, or otherwise principled alternative, while staying within the provided
causal graph interface.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/causal-bnlearn/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

从线性高斯观测数据进行因果发现(CPDAG 恢复)

研究问题

实现一个因果发现算法,从由线性高斯结构方程模型(SEM)生成的纯观测数据中恢复 CPDAG。

背景

在线性高斯假设下,观测数据通常只能识别出真实 DAG 的马尔可夫等价类(Markov Equivalence Class,MEC),而非唯一的全有向 DAG。MEC 由一个 CPDAG 表示。该基准考察方法在稀疏图与较稠密图、不同噪声水平下的鲁棒性,且方法不应依赖针对特定数据集的常数。

任务

在 causal-learn/bench/custom_algorithm.py 中实现 run_causal_discovery(X)。它必须返回一个表示估计出的 CPDAG 的 causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph。

python
def run_causal_discovery(X: np.ndarray) -> GeneralGraph:
    """
    Input:  X of shape (n_samples, n_variables), real-valued observations
    Output: estimated CPDAG as causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph
    """

你在 /workspace 中工作。包源码树 /workspace/causal-learn/ 是本任务的研究脚手架。

你可以编辑的文件

你只能修改这些文件,并且只能在列出的行范围内修改(含端点,行号从 1 开始)。改动这些范围之外的代码——或创建新文件、或删除整个文件——都会导致你的提交无效。

行号标示的是一个可编辑的区域,而不是固定的行数预算:你可以在其中增加或删除行。只有可编辑范围之外的代码必须保持不变。

Causal Discovery from Linear Gaussian Observations (CPDAG Recovery)

Research Question

Implement a causal discovery algorithm that recovers the CPDAG from purely observational data generated by a linear Gaussian structural equation model (SEM).

Background

Under linear Gaussian assumptions, observational data generally identifies only the Markov Equivalence Class (MEC) of the true DAG, not a unique fully directed DAG. The MEC is represented by a CPDAG. The benchmark studies robustness across sparse and denser graphs and across noise levels, and the method should not rely on dataset-specific constants.

Task

Implement run_causal_discovery(X) in causal-learn/bench/custom_algorithm.py. It must return a causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph representing the estimated CPDAG.

python
def run_causal_discovery(X: np.ndarray) -> GeneralGraph:
    """
    Input:  X of shape (n_samples, n_variables), real-valued observations
    Output: estimated CPDAG as causallearn.graph.GeneralGraph.GeneralGraph
    """

Valid contributions may use constraint tests, score search, ordering or
permutation search, hybrid criteria, or a new modular CPDAG estimation
strategy, provided the output respects the expected causal-graph
representation.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/causal-learn/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Reference Baselines

The following are read-only reference implementations. Each shows what
the editable region of a strong baseline looks like, with a few lines of
surrounding context for orientation. Study them, but write your own
algorithm — repeating a baseline verbatim will be detected and scored as
a baseline reproduction.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

因果发现:观测性线性非高斯数据(LiNGAM)

研究问题

实现一个因果发现算法,从由线性非高斯无环模型(LiNGAM)生成的纯观测数据中恢复有向 DAG。

背景

基于 LiNGAM 的方法利用非高斯噪声,仅凭观测数据即可实现完整的 DAG 可辨识性,从而超越了基于约束(PC)与基于评分(GES)方法的马尔可夫等价类限制。这一原始可辨识性结果出自 Shimizu、Hoyer、Hyvarinen 与 Kerminen 的 "A Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Model for Causal Discovery"(JMLR 7, 2006)。

该方法应能处理中等至较大规模的变量数量,并避免假设单一固定的噪声分布或图族。数据由带有符号线性边权重和独立非高斯噪声的合成 DAG 生成。

任务

在 causal-learn/bench/custom_algorithm.py 中实现 run_causal_discovery(X)。它必须返回一个与基准评估兼容的有向 DAG(骨架 + 正确的边方向)。

科学贡献应当是一种利用非高斯观测结构的模块化方法,例如独立分量思想、直接因果排序、连续优化、混合筛选,或一种新的有向图恢复流程。

你的工作区

你在 /workspace 中工作。包源码树 /workspace/causal-learn/ 是本任务的研究脚手架。

你可以编辑的文件

你只能修改这些文件,并且只能在列出的行范围内(含端点,行号从 1 开始计数)修改。改动这些范围之外代码的编辑——或者创建新文件、或者删除整个文件——都会导致你的提交无效。

行号标记的是一个可编辑的区域,而不是固定的行数预算:你可以在其中增加或删除行。只有可编辑范围之外的代码必须保持不变。

🇬🇧 [English Original] Causal Observational (Linear Non-Gaussian)

Causal Discovery: Observational Linear Non-Gaussian Data (LiNGAM)

Research Question

Implement a causal discovery algorithm that recovers the directed DAG from purely observational data generated by a Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Model (LiNGAM).

Background

LiNGAM-based methods exploit non-Gaussian noise to achieve full DAG identifiability from observational data alone, going beyond the Markov Equivalence Class limit of constraint-based (PC) and score-based (GES) methods. The original identifiability result is due to Shimizu, Hoyer, Hyvarinen & Kerminen, "A Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Model for Causal Discovery," JMLR 7, 2006.

The method should handle moderate-to-large variable counts and avoid assuming a single fixed noise distribution or graph family. Data is generated from synthetic DAGs with signed linear edge weights and independent non-Gaussian noise.

Task

Implement run_causal_discovery(X) in causal-learn/bench/custom_algorithm.py. It must return a directed DAG (skeleton + correct edge orientation) compatible with the benchmark evaluation.

Continuous Optimization for Structure Learning," NeurIPS 2018 (arXiv:1803.01422). Continuous score-based DAG learning via a smooth acyclicity constraint.

The scientific contribution should be a modular method for exploiting
non-Gaussian observational structure, such as independent component ideas,
direct causal ordering, continuous optimization, hybrid screening, or a new
directed-graph recovery procedure.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/causal-learn/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

The following are read-only reference implementations. Each shows what
the editable region of a strong baseline looks like, with a few lines of
surrounding context for orientation. Study them, but write your own

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

因果发现:观测性非线性数据(加性噪声模型)

研究问题

实现一个因果发现算法,从由非线性加性噪声模型(ANM)生成的纯观测数据中恢复有向 DAG。

背景

加性噪声模型(Additive Noise Models)假设结构方程形如 x_j = f_j(parents(j)) + e_j,其中 f_j 是非线性函数,e_j 是相互独立的噪声项。在对 f_j 和噪声分布的温和条件下,因果 DAG 仅凭观测数据即可辨识(Hoyer、Janzing、Mooij、Peters 与 Scholkopf,"Nonlinear causal discovery with additive noise models",NeurIPS 2008;Peters、Mooij、Janzing 与 Scholkopf,"Causal Discovery with Continuous Additive Noise Models",JMLR 15, 2014)。这超越了假设线性关系的线性方法(LiNGAM、PC、GES)。

关键挑战包括:(1) 在高维非线性场景中进行独立性检验,(2) 扩展到更大的图,(3) 处理多样的非线性函数类型(MLP、GP、多项式、sigmoid),以及 (4) 在噪声为高斯时的鲁棒性——此时 ANM 的可辨识性变得更加微妙。

任务

在 causal-learn/bench/custom_algorithm.py 中实现 run_causal_discovery(X)。它必须返回一个与基准评估兼容的有向 DAG。

你的工作区

你在 /workspace 中工作。包源码树 /workspace/causal-learn/ 是本任务的研究脚手架。

你可以编辑的文件

你只能修改这些文件,并且只能在列出的行范围内(含端点,行号从 1 开始计数)修改。改动这些范围之外代码的编辑——或者创建新文件、或者删除整个文件——都会导致你的提交无效。

行号标记的是一个可编辑的区域,而不是固定的行数预算:你可以在其中增加或删除行。只有可编辑范围之外的代码必须保持不变。

Causal Discovery: Observational Nonlinear Data (Additive Noise Models)

Research Question

Implement a causal discovery algorithm that recovers the directed DAG from purely observational data generated by a nonlinear Additive Noise Model (ANM).

Background

Additive Noise Models assume structural equations of the form x_j = f_j(parents(j)) + e_j, where f_j are nonlinear functions and e_j are independent noise terms. Under mild conditions on f_j and the noise distribution, the causal DAG is identifiable from observational data alone (Hoyer, Janzing, Mooij, Peters & Scholkopf, "Nonlinear causal discovery with additive noise models," NeurIPS 2008; Peters, Mooij, Janzing & Scholkopf, "Causal Discovery with Continuous Additive Noise Models," JMLR 15, 2014). This goes beyond linear methods (LiNGAM, PC, GES) that assume linearity.

Key challenges include: (1) testing independence in high-dimensional nonlinear
settings, (2) scaling to larger graphs, (3) handling diverse nonlinear function
types (MLP, GP, polynomial, sigmoid), and (4) robustness when noise is
Gaussian, where ANM identifiability becomes more delicate.

Task

Implement run_causal_discovery(X) in causal-learn/bench/custom_algorithm.py. It must return a directed DAG compatible with the benchmark evaluation.

Suitable contributions include nonlinear independence tests, additive-noise
scoring, differentiable DAG learning, hybrid ordering methods, or other
modular procedures that exploit nonlinear causal asymmetry while remaining
practical at the evaluated graph sizes.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/causal-learn/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

因果处理效应估计

研究问题

设计一个新颖的估计器,用于从观测数据中估计条件平均处理效应(CATE),要求其准确、对混杂具有鲁棒性,并能在多种合成数据生成过程之间泛化。

背景

估计异质性处理效应——即处理的因果效应如何在个体之间变化——是因果推断中的一个核心问题。给定包含协变量 X、二值处理 T 和结果 Y 的观测数据,目标是估计 tau(x) = E[Y(1) - Y(0) | X = x],即条件平均处理效应。

主要挑战包括:

混杂:处理分配依赖于协变量,因此朴素的比较是有偏的。

异质性:处理效应在整个协变量空间中以复杂、非线性的方式变化。

模型误设:真实的响应面可能不符合参数化假设。

双重稳健性:理想情况下,只要结果模型或倾向得分模型之一正确,估计器就是一致的。

经典方法包括 S-Learner(单模型)、T-Learner(为每个处理组分别拟合结果模型)和 IPW(倾向得分重加权)。现代方法利用正交化或去偏技术以获得更好的收敛速率:参见 Athey & Wager, "Estimation and Inference of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects using Random Forests," JASA 113(523), 2018 (arXiv:1510.04342);Kennedy, "Towards optimal doubly robust estimation of heterogeneous causal effects," Electronic Journal of Statistics 17(2), 2023 (arXiv:2004.14497);以及 Nie & Wager, "Quasi-Oracle Estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects," Biometrika 108(2), 2021 (arXiv:1712.04912)。

任务

修改 custom_cate.py 中的 CATEEstimator 类。该估计器必须实现:

python
class CATEEstimator:
    def fit(self, X, T, Y) -> "CATEEstimator":
        """Learn from observational covariates X, binary treatment T, outcome Y."""

    def predict(self, X):
        """Return predicted individual treatment effects tau_hat for each row of X."""

scikit-learn、numpy 和 scipy 均可用。

有效的方案可以组合结果建模、倾向得分建模、正交化、加权、残差化、森林方法、神经网络模型或其他模块化的 CATE 思路,只要能够应对混杂和处理效应异质性即可。

你的工作区

你正在 /workspace 中工作。软件包源码树 /workspace/scikit-learn/ 是本任务的研究脚手架。

你可以编辑的文件

你只能修改这些文件,并且只能在列出的行范围内修改(含端点,行号从 1 开始计数)。改动这些范围之外代码的编辑——或创建新文件、或删除整个文件——都将导致你的提交无效。

这些行号标示的是一个可编辑的区域,而不是固定的行数预算:你可以在该区域内增删行。只有可编辑范围之外的代码必须保持不变。

🇬🇧 [English Original] Causal Treatment Effect

MLS-Bench: causal-treatment-effect

Causal Treatment Effect Estimation

Research Question

Design a novel estimator for Conditional Average Treatment Effects (CATE) from observational data that is accurate, robust to confounding, and generalizes across synthetic data-generating processes.

Background

Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects -- how the causal effect of a treatment varies across individuals -- is a core problem in causal inference. Given observational data with covariates X, binary treatment T, and outcome Y, the goal is to estimate tau(x) = E[Y(1) - Y(0) | X = x], the conditional average treatment effect.

Key challenges include:

Confounding: treatment assignment depends on covariates, so naive

comparisons are biased.
Heterogeneity: treatment effects vary across the covariate space in

complex, nonlinear ways.
Model misspecification: true response surfaces may not match parametric

assumptions.
Double robustness: ideally, the estimator is consistent if either the

outcome model or the propensity model is correct.

Classical approaches include S-Learner (single model), T-Learner (separate
outcome models per arm), and IPW (propensity reweighting). Modern methods use
orthogonalization or debiasing for better convergence rates: see Athey & Wager,
"Estimation and Inference of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects using Random
Forests," JASA 113(523), 2018 (arXiv:1510.04342); Kennedy, "Towards optimal
doubly robust estimation of heterogeneous causal effects," Electronic Journal
of Statistics 17(2), 2023 (arXiv:2004.14497); and Nie & Wager, "Quasi-Oracle
Estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects," Biometrika 108(2), 2021
(arXiv:1712.04912).

Task

Modify the CATEEstimator class in custom_cate.py. The estimator must implement:

python
class CATEEstimator:
    def fit(self, X, T, Y) -> "CATEEstimator":
        """Learn from observational covariates X, binary treatment T, outcome Y."""

    def predict(self, X):
        """Return predicted individual treatment effects tau_hat for each row of X."""

scikit-learn, numpy, and scipy are available.

Valid contributions may combine outcome modeling, propensity modeling,
orthogonalization, weighting, residualization, forests, neural models, or other
modular CATE ideas, as long as they address confounding and treatment-effect
heterogeneity.

Your Workspace

You are working inside /workspace. The package source tree
/workspace/scikit-learn/ is the research scaffold for this task.

Files You May Edit

You may only modify these files, and only within the listed line ranges
(inclusive, 1-indexed)
. Edits that change code outside these ranges — or creating new files, or
deleting whole files — will cause your submission to be invalid.

The line numbers mark an editable region, not a fixed line-count budget: you
may add or remove lines inside it. Only code outside the editable ranges must
stay unchanged.

Reference Baselines

The following are read-only reference implementations. Each shows what
the editable region of a strong baseline looks like, with a few lines of
surrounding context for orientation. Study them, but write your own
algorithm — repeating a baseline verbatim will be detected and scored as
a baseline reproduction.

Tips

Keep the function/class signatures of the editable regions identical;
evaluation imports them by name.
Determinism matters: seeds are fixed; don't introduce hidden randomness.
The baseline implementations above are deliberately strong. Aim for an
algorithmic improvement — many hyperparameters are locked outside the editable surface anyway.

Time Budget

You have 5 hours of wall-clock time before submission, covering
everything you do here: reading the code, editing it, and any trial runs
you launch.

Good luck.

8/27 补充重测:上表第 12/13 行(ml-ensemble-boosting / ml-missing-data-imputation)此前因 「数据集注册异常 / budget_check 超时」登记失败,根因是部署侧问题而非任务本身。8/27 在 360-1 上定位并修复后成功重测:
  • 根因:① 360 的 holdout/ 目录缺 ml-ensemble-boosting / ml-missing-data-imputation 的 dgp.py(且原拷入的 ensemble dgp 是 anomaly 任务版本,数据集注册必然失败);② 缺 mlsbench-scikit-learn conda env (prepare 脚本 conda run 直接报 EnvironmentLocationNotFound);③ sklearn 数据缓存 (cal_housing 等)未就位。
  • 修复:从 ophis 同步正确 dgp.py 到 360 holdout;conda create --clone mlsbench 出 mlsbench-scikit-learn;用 fetch_california_housing 预下载 sklearn 缓存。
  • 结果(deepseek-chat,官方 interactive agent): ensemble-boosting acc=0.9649(breast_cancer)/ rmse=93.21(diabetes)/ 2.81(california), 显著优于任务内置 knn baseline(acc≈0.62);missing-data rmse=0.6013 / 0.8299 / 0.7649, 同样优于 knn baseline。

JEPA 世界模型规划:算法设计

目标

设计一个规划算法,利用学习到的 JEPA(联合嵌入预测架构)世界模型进行目标条件导航。评测使用 Two Rooms 环境:agent 必须绕开墙壁、穿过门洞,到达随机采样的目标位置。

研究问题

你能设计一个规划算法,通过更好地利用学习到的 JEPA 世界模型的结构,超越 CEM 和 MPPI 等标准无导数方法吗?

背景

JEPA 世界模型预测未来的潜在编码(latent encoding)而非未来的观测,因此规划完全在表征空间中进行。近期工作研究用 JEPA 式目标离线学习潜在动力学模型,并在其上使用无导数规划器——见 Sobal et al. 2025, "Learning from Reward-Free Offline Data: A Case for Planning with Latent Dynamics Models"(arXiv:2502.14819)。此类潜在世界模型常用的两种标准无导数规划器是:

CEM(交叉熵方法):基于模型 rollout 代价,用 top-k 精英样本对动作序列上的高斯分布进行迭代重拟合。
MPPI(模型预测路径积分):对采样动作序列做重要性加权更新(Williams et al., arXiv:1509.01149)。

JEPA 世界模型的 checkpoint 是固定的,由评测环境提供;任务是改进规划,而不是重训模型。

你可以修改什么

你在 custom_planner.py 中实现 CustomPlanner 类。该类继承 Planner 抽象基类,必须实现 plan() 方法。

接口

CustomPlanner 构造函数

def __init__(self, unroll, action_dim=2, plan_length=15,
             num_samples=200, n_iters=20, **kwargs):

unroll:通过世界模型做前向仿真的函数
action_dim:动作空间维度(2 维 x/y 移动)
plan_length:最大规划时域
num_samples:动作采样数(可调)
n_iters:优化迭代次数(可调)

plan() 方法

def plan(self, obs_init, steps_left=None, eval_mode=True,
         t0=False, plan_vis_path=None) -> PlanningResult:

obs_init:初始观测编码 [1, C, 1, H, W]
steps_left:回合剩余步数
返回:PlanningResult(actions=Tensor[T, A], ...)

可用方法(继承而来)

self.unroll(obs_init, actions):将动作序列通过世界模型前向仿真。
obs_init:[1, C, 1, H, W] 初始观测编码
actions:[B, A, T] 批量动作序列
返回:[B, D, T+1, H, W] 预测状态编码
self.objective(encodings):计算预测状态编码的代价。
encodings:[B, D, T, H, W]
返回:[B] 每个样本的代价(越低越好)

JEPA World Model Planning: Algorithm Design

Objective

Design a planning algorithm that exploits a learned JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture) world model for goal-conditioned navigation. The evaluation uses a Two Rooms environment in which the agent must navigate around walls and through doorways to reach a randomly sampled goal location.

Research Question

Can you design a planning algorithm that outperforms standard derivative-free methods such as CEM and MPPI by better exploiting the structure of a learned JEPA world model?

Background

JEPA world models predict future latent encodings rather than future observations, so planning happens entirely in representation space. Recent work studies offline learning of latent dynamics models with JEPA-style objectives and uses derivative-free planners on top of them — see Sobal et al. 2025, "Learning from Reward-Free Offline Data: A Case for Planning with Latent Dynamics Models" (arXiv:2502.14819). Two standard derivative-free planners used for this kind of latent world model are:

CEM (Cross-Entropy Method): iteratively refits a Gaussian over action sequences using the top-k elites under the model rollout cost.
MPPI (Model Predictive Path Integral): importance-weighted update over sampled action sequences (Williams et al., arXiv:1509.01149).

The JEPA world model checkpoint is fixed and provided by the evaluation environment; the task is to improve planning, not to retrain the model.

What You Can Modify

You implement the CustomPlanner class in custom_planner.py. The class extends the Planner abstract base class and must implement the plan() method.

Interface

CustomPlanner Constructor

def __init__(self, unroll, action_dim=2, plan_length=15,
             num_samples=200, n_iters=20, **kwargs):

unroll: function that forward-simulates through the world model
action_dim: action space dimensionality (2 for x/y movement)
plan_length: maximum planning horizon
num_samples: number of action samples (adjustable)
n_iters: number of optimization iterations (adjustable)

plan() Method

def plan(self, obs_init, steps_left=None, eval_mode=True,
         t0=False, plan_vis_path=None) -> PlanningResult:

obs_init: initial observation encoding [1, C, 1, H, W]
steps_left: remaining steps in the episode
Returns: PlanningResult(actions=Tensor[T, A], ...)

Available Methods (Inherited)

self.unroll(obs_init, actions): forward-simulate actions through the world model.
obs_init: [1, C, 1, H, W] initial observation encoding
actions: [B, A, T] batch of action sequences
Returns: [B, D, T+1, H, W] predicted state encodings
self.objective(encodings): compute cost for predicted state encodings.
encodings: [B, D, T, H, W]
Returns: [B] cost per sample (lower is better)
self.cost_function(actions, obs_init): convenience method that calls unroll then objective.
Returns: [B] cost per sample

Evaluation

Environment: Two Rooms (65×65 grid with wall and door)
Episodes: 20 with random start and goal positions controlled by the MLS-Bench SEED
Max steps per episode: 200
Success threshold: Euclidean distance < 4.5 from goal
Benchmarks: three planning horizons (30, 60, 90 steps) test the algorithm across short, medium, and long-range planning
Metric: success_rate (fraction of successful episodes) per horizon, higher is better

🇨🇳 [中文翻译] Temporal JEPA Prediction Loss

时序 JEPA 预测损失优化

研究问题

为多步时序 JEPA(联合嵌入预测架构)设计更好的预测代价函数。预测损失衡量潜在空间中预测表征与目标表征之间的差异,直接影响预测器学习建模时序动力学的能力。

背景

JEPA 式自监督模型(Assran et al., I-JEPA, CVPR 2023, arXiv:2301.08243)联合训练一个编码器和一个预测器,预测器匹配上下文与目标的潜在表征。在本任务使用的时序扩展中,编码器为每一帧产生空间特征图,预测器在 Moving MNIST 序列上随时间自回归地操作。训练损失为以下两项之和:

预测损失:比较预测与目标的潜在特征图(这是你要重新设计的组件),以及
VCLoss(方差-协方差)正则:防止表征坍缩,其思想来自 VICReg(Bardes, Ponce, LeCun, ICLR 2022, arXiv:2105.04906)。

当前基线使用普通的 F.mse_loss(state, predicted),它对每个通道和空间位置一视同仁,忽略了时序结构。

你可以修改什么

custom_prediction_loss.py 中的 CustomPredictionLoss 类。你可以修改 __init__ 和 forward 方法,添加辅助方法,并导入额外模块。

接口

class CustomPredictionLoss(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def forward(self, state, predicted):
        """
        Args:
            state:     [B, C, T, H, W] - 来自编码器的目标编码表征
            predicted: [B, C, T, H, W] - 来自预测器的预测表征

        Returns:
            标量损失张量(越低表示预测越接近 state)
        """

该损失在 JEPA 的 unroll() 方法中以 predcost(state, predicted_states) 调用,两个张量形状相同。返回的标量会加到正则损失上并反向传播。

评测

Moving MNIST 上跨预测时间步的 mean detection Average Precision(AP)。越高越好。模型用 Adam 优化器(lr=1e-3)训练 50 个 epoch,报告最终 mean detection AP。

预测损失在三种模型规模上评测,以检验泛化能力:

small:henc=16, dstc=8, hpre=16
base:henc=32, dstc=16, hpre=32
large:henc=64, dstc=32, hpre=64

提示

编码器产生空间特征图(不只是向量),因此空间结构很重要。
预测器随时间步自回归地操作,因此可以利用时间加权/排序。
VCLoss 正则由训练器单独计算并添加;你只设计预测项。
🇬🇧 [English Original] Temporal JEPA Prediction Loss

Temporal JEPA Prediction Loss Optimization

Research Question

Design a better prediction cost function for multi-step temporal Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA). The prediction loss measures discrepancy between predicted and target representations in the latent space, directly influencing how well the predictor learns to model temporal dynamics.

Background

JEPA-style self-supervised models (Assran et al., I-JEPA, CVPR 2023, arXiv:2301.08243) train an encoder and a predictor jointly, with the predictor matching latent representations of context and target. In the temporal extension used here, the encoder produces a spatial feature map for each frame and the predictor operates autoregressively over time on a Moving MNIST sequence. The training loss is the sum of:

a prediction loss comparing predicted and target latent feature maps (the component you redesign), and
a VCLoss (Variance–Covariance) regularizer that prevents collapse, in the spirit of VICReg (Bardes, Ponce, LeCun, ICLR 2022, arXiv:2105.04906).

The current baseline uses a plain F.mse_loss(state, predicted), which treats every channel and spatial location identically and ignores temporal structure.

What You Can Modify

The CustomPredictionLoss class in custom_prediction_loss.py. You may modify the __init__ and forward methods, add helper methods, and import additional modules.

Interface

class CustomPredictionLoss(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def forward(self, state, predicted):
        """
        Args:
            state:     [B, C, T, H, W] - target encoded representations from the encoder
            predicted: [B, C, T, H, W] - predicted representations from the predictor

        Returns:
            Scalar loss tensor (lower means predicted is closer to state)
        """

The loss is called during JEPA's unroll() method as predcost(state, predicted_states), where both tensors share the same shape. The returned scalar is added to the regularization loss and backpropagated.

Evaluation

Mean detection Average Precision (AP) across prediction timesteps on Moving MNIST. Higher is better. The model is trained for 50 epochs with the Adam optimizer (lr=1e-3) and the final mean detection AP is reported.

The prediction loss is evaluated across three model sizes to test generalization:

small: henc=16, dstc=8, hpre=16
base: henc=32, dstc=16, hpre=32
large: henc=64, dstc=32, hpre=64

Notes

The encoder produces spatial feature maps (not just vectors), so spatial structure matters.
The predictor operates autoregressively over time steps, so temporal weighting/ordering can be exploited.
The VCLoss regularizer is computed separately and added by the trainer; you only design the prediction term.

JEPA 自监督学习:防坍缩正则化

研究问题

为 JEPA(联合嵌入预测架构)自监督图像表征学习设计改进的防坍缩正则化损失。你的正则项应防止表征坍缩(所有输入映射到同一输出),同时鼓励模型学习有用、有判别力的特征。

背景

JEPA / 联合嵌入自监督方法(Assran et al., I-JEPA, CVPR 2023, arXiv:2301.08243)优化一个不变性目标,而该目标单独来看允许平凡解——编码器把所有输入映射到一个常量。防坍缩正则项以不同方式解决这一问题:

VICReg(Bardes, Ponce, LeCun, ICLR 2022, arXiv:2105.04906)组合了逐维方差 hinge、协方差非对角惩罚和 MSE 不变性项。
Barlow Twins 对两个视角之间的互相关矩阵做去相关。
白化/去相关方法直接强制单位协方差。

正则项的选择决定了偏好何种表征几何,以及如何迁移到下游线性探针。

你可以修改什么

custom_regularizer.py 中的可编辑区域是 CustomRegularizer 类加上 CONFIG_OVERRIDES 字典。该类接收来自同一图像不同增强视角的两个投影嵌入张量,必须返回一个损失字典。

接口:

输入:z1: [B, D] 和 z2: [B, D]——来自两个增强视角的投影嵌入
输出:dict,至少包含一个包含标量张量的 "loss" 键

你可以在 __init__ 中添加任何参数,定义辅助方法,并使用任意 PyTorch 操作。文件顶部的导入(torch、torch.nn、torch.nn.functional 等)均可用。

JEPA Self-Supervised Learning: Anti-Collapse Regularization

Research Question

Design an improved anti-collapse regularization loss for Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) self-supervised image representation learning. Your regularizer should prevent representation collapse (where all inputs map to the same output) while encouraging the model to learn useful, discriminative features.

Background

JEPA / joint-embedding self-supervised methods (Assran et al., I-JEPA, CVPR 2023, arXiv:2301.08243) optimize an invariance objective that, on its own, admits the trivial solution where the encoder maps every input to a constant. Anti-collapse regularizers solve this in different ways:

VICReg (Bardes, Ponce, LeCun, ICLR 2022, arXiv:2105.04906) combines a per-dimension variance hinge, a covariance off-diagonal penalty, and an MSE invariance term.
Barlow Twins decorrelates the cross-correlation matrix between two views.
Whitening / decorrelation approaches enforce identity covariance directly.

The choice of regularizer determines what representation geometry is preferred and how it transfers to downstream linear probing.

What You Can Modify

The editable region in custom_regularizer.py is the CustomRegularizer class plus the CONFIG_OVERRIDES dictionary. The class receives two projected embedding tensors from different augmented views of the same images and must return a loss dictionary.

Interface:

Input: z1: [B, D] and z2: [B, D] — projected embeddings from two augmented views
Output: dict with at least a "loss" key containing a scalar tensor

You may add any parameters to __init__, define helper methods, and use any PyTorch operations. The imports at the top of the file (torch, torch.nn, torch.nn.functional, etc.) are available.

Evaluation

Metric: val_acc — linear probe classification accuracy on CIFAR-10 (higher is better)
Benchmarks: three backbone architectures (ResNet-18, ResNet-34, ResNet-50) test regularizer generalization across model scales
Projector: features_dim → 2048 → 2048 MLP

Robo-Diffusion:引导采样策略设计

目标

为离线 D4RL MuJoCo 基准上的固定轨迹级扩散规划器设计一种改进的引导机制。本任务比 robo-diffusion-policy 更窄:研究问题是如何条件化或引导逆向扩散过程,而不是重新设计整个规划器或 model-free 的 actor-critic 训练循环。

背景

基于扩散的决策模型支持两种主要引导范式:

Classifier Guidance(CG,分类器引导):一个单独训练的分类器(此处为累积奖励预测器)向逆向过程注入梯度。参考文献:Dhariwal & Nichol, "Diffusion Models Beat GANs on Image Synthesis", NeurIPS 2021(arXiv:2105.05233);Janner et al., Diffuser, ICML 2022(arXiv:2205.09991)。
Classifier-Free Guidance(CFG,无分类器引导):扩散网络同时以带条件和不带条件(return-to-go)的方式训练,采样时将条件预测与无条件预测按 w_cfg 插值。参考文献:Ho & Salimans, "Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance"(arXiv:2207.12598);Ajay et al., Decision Diffuser, ICLR 2023(arXiv:2211.15657)。

引导策略及其权重调度的选择会强烈影响最终奖励和推理代价。

实现基于 CleanDiffuser(Dong et al., NeurIPS 2024, arXiv:2406.09509),一个用于决策的模块化扩散库。

已实现的内容(你要编辑的起始代码)

可编辑文件是 CleanDiffuser/pipelines/custom_guidance.py,由 mid_edit.py 从 edits/custom_template.py 生成。具体来说:

骨干:JannerUNet1d 1-D U-Net,扩散维度为 obs_dim + act_dim 的轨迹(状态+动作),kernel size 5,无 attention。
扩散过程:DiscreteDiffusionSDE,diffusion_steps=20,predict_noise=False,solver=ddpm,ema_rate=0.9999。
默认引导:通过 CumRewClassifier(HalfJannerUNet1d 头)做分类器引导。采样时使用 args.task.w_cg,每个环境步绘制 num_candidates=64 条轨迹,再按分类器 log-probability 重新排序。
已接线的条件化入口:每个任务 yaml 暴露 w_cg、w_cfg 和 target_return。w_cg 被默认(CG)路径使用;w_cfg 和 target_return 被 CFG / Decision Diffuser 变体消费。你可以使用其中任何一个。

不存在独立的 apply_guidance 函数——引导是通过 nn_condition / classifier 的选择、训练期间的 agent.update(...) 调用、以及推理期间的 agent.sample(..., w_cg=, w_cfg=, condition_cfg=) 调用配置的。

你可以修改什么

你可以修改 custom_guidance.py 可编辑区域内以下任何内容:

扩散模型的网络架构(必须与 DiscreteDiffusionSDE / ContinuousDiffusionSDE 兼容)。
分类器架构与训练目标(或移除它)。
条件网络(例如替换或增强 MLPCondition)。
训练循环:agent.update(...) 的调用方式、标签 dropout、回报归一化、混合 CG+CFG 调度。
采样循环:w_cg、w_cfg、时间相关引导权重、候选重排策略、EMA / 采样步数等。
新的引导策略:混合 CG+CFG、自适应 w_cfg(t)、仅晚期引导、梯度裁剪调度、新颖分类器目标。

什么是固定的

数据集与环境循环(D4RL MuJoCo,env.get_dataset(),gym.vector.make,归一化,奖励收集)。
环境名、种子、最终 D4RL 分数计算。
评测协议:10 个环境 × 10 个 episode,env.get_normalized_score。
mujoco.yaml 中的顶层训练超参:diffusion_gradient_steps=100000,batch_size=256,model_dim=32,solver=ddpm,diffusion_steps=20,sampling_steps=20。

评测

你将在三个 D4RL(Fu et al., 2020, arXiv:2004.07219)MuJoCo 环境上被评测:

hopper-medium-v2
walker2d-medium-v2
halfcheetah-medium-v2

主要指标:

Normalized Score:D4RL 归一化分数(越高越好),按环境报告。任务聚合器为三个环境的几何平均。

在 leaderboard 中与各环境训练墙钟时间一同报告。

Baselines

edits/ 中提供四个 baseline:

1. default — Diffuser(分类器引导,CG)

未修改的模板。JannerUNet1d + CumRewClassifier,hopper / walker2d / halfcheetah 的 w_cg = {0.3, 0.007, 0.0001}。
推理使用 64 个候选按分类器 log-prob 重排。
参考:Janner et al., 2022, Diffuser, arXiv:2205.09991。

2. cfg — default 的最小 CFG 消融

相同 JannerUNet1d 骨干、相同 DiscreteDiffusionSDE、与 default 相同的 obs+act 轨迹扩散。
将 CumRewClassifier 替换为基于归一化回报的 MLPCondition,用标签 dropout 训练。采样使用 condition_cfg=target_return,w_cfg = {4.4, 6.0, 3.2}(Decision Diffuser 论文值),w_cg = 0。无候选重排。

3. no_guidance — 无条件消融

JannerUNet1d 无任何分类器或条件网络训练。
采样 w_cg = w_cfg = 0,每个环境步单个样本(无重排)。

4. decision_diffuser — 带 DD 架构的完整 CFG

CleanDiffuser 的 dd_d4rl_mujoco.py 逐字移植(Ajay et al., 2022, arXiv:2211.15657)。
仅状态扩散(obs 而非 obs+act),DiT1d Transformer 骨干,MlpInvDynamic 恢复动作,ContinuousDiffusionSDE。

提示

引导强度在晚期时间步(小 t)最重要。时间相关 w_cfg(t) 调度是一个未充分探索的轴。
在 agent.sample 中加法组合 CG 和 CFG(w_cg > 0 且 w_cfg > 0)得到 DiscreteDiffusionSDE 支持。
通过学习价值头重排是 CG 性能的主要来源——考虑你的方法是否需要或替代它。

你要编辑的文件

CleanDiffuser/pipelines/custom_guidance.py——从 edits/custom_template.py 创建。可编辑区域覆盖网络设置、训练循环、推理设置、先验/条件初始化、以及动作采样。
🇬🇧 [English Original] Robo-Diffusion: Guided Sampling Strategy Design

Robo-Diffusion: Guided Sampling Strategy Design

Objective

Design one improved guidance mechanism for a fixed trajectory-level diffusion planner on offline D4RL MuJoCo benchmarks. This task is narrower than robo-diffusion-policy: the research question is how to condition or guide the reverse diffusion process, not how to redesign the whole planner or the model-free actor-critic training loop.

Background

Diffusion-based decision-making models support two main guidance paradigms:

Classifier Guidance (CG): a separately trained classifier (here a cumulative-reward predictor) injects gradients into the reverse process. References: Dhariwal & Nichol, "Diffusion Models Beat GANs on Image Synthesis", NeurIPS 2021 (arXiv:2105.05233); Janner et al., Diffuser, ICML 2022 (arXiv:2205.09991).
Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG): the diffusion network is jointly trained with and without a condition (return-to-go) and at sample time the conditional and unconditional predictions are interpolated by w_cfg. References: Ho & Salimans, "Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance" (arXiv:2207.12598); Ajay et al., Decision Diffuser, ICLR 2023 (arXiv:2211.15657).

The choice of guidance strategy and its weight schedule strongly affects both final reward and inference cost.

The implementation builds on CleanDiffuser (Dong et al., NeurIPS 2024, arXiv:2406.09509), a modular diffusion library for decision making.

What Is Implemented (the starting code you edit)

The editable file is CleanDiffuser/pipelines/custom_guidance.py, which is created by mid_edit.py from edits/custom_template.py. Concretely:

Backbone: JannerUNet1d 1-D U-Net diffusing trajectories of dimension obs_dim + act_dim (state + action), with kernel size 5, no attention.
Diffusion process: DiscreteDiffusionSDE with diffusion_steps=20, predict_noise=False, solver=ddpm, ema_rate=0.9999.
Default guidance: classifier guidance via CumRewClassifier (HalfJannerUNet1d head). At sample time, args.task.w_cg is used and num_candidates=64 trajectories are drawn per env-step, then re-ranked by the classifier's log-probability.
Conditioning entry-points already wired by the config: each task yaml exposes w_cg, w_cfg, and target_return. w_cg is used by the default (CG) path; w_cfg and target_return are consumed by CFG / Decision Diffuser variants. You may use any of them.

There is no apply_guidance standalone function — guidance is configured by the choice of nn_condition / classifier, the agent.update(...) call during training, and the agent.sample(..., w_cg=, w_cfg=, condition_cfg=) call during inference.

What You Can Modify

You can modify any of the following inside the editable regions of custom_guidance.py:

Network architecture for the diffusion model (must remain compatible with DiscreteDiffusionSDE / ContinuousDiffusionSDE).
Classifier architecture and training objective (or remove it).
Condition network (e.g. swap or augment MLPCondition).
Training loop: how agent.update(...) is called, label dropout, return normalization, mixed CG+CFG schedules.
Sampling loop: w_cg, w_cfg, time-dependent guidance weights, candidate re-ranking strategy, EMA / sample steps, etc.
New guidance strategies: hybrid CG+CFG, adaptive w_cfg(t), late-only guidance, gradient-clipping schedules, novel classifier targets.

What Is Fixed

Dataset and environment loop (D4RL MuJoCo, env.get_dataset(), gym.vector.make, normalization, reward collection).
Environment names, seeds, and final D4RL score computation.
Evaluation protocol: 10 envs × 10 episodes, env.get_normalized_score.
Top-level training hyperparameters in mujoco.yaml: diffusion_gradient_steps=100000, batch_size=256, model_dim=32, solver=ddpm, diffusion_steps=20, sampling_steps=20.

Evaluation

You will be evaluated on three D4RL (Fu et al., 2020, arXiv:2004.07219) MuJoCo environments:

hopper-medium-v2
walker2d-medium-v2
halfcheetah-medium-v2

Primary metric:

Normalized Score: D4RL normalized score (higher is better), reported per env. The task aggregator is the geometric mean across the three envs.

Reported in the leaderboard alongside the per-env training wall-clock.

Baselines

Four baselines are provided in edits/:

1. default — Diffuser (Classifier Guidance, CG)

Unmodified template. JannerUNet1d + CumRewClassifier, w_cg = {0.3, 0.007, 0.0001} for hopper / walker2d / halfcheetah.
Inference uses 64 candidates re-ranked by classifier log-prob.
Reference: Janner et al., 2022, Diffuser, arXiv:2205.09991.

2. cfg — minimal CFG ablation of the default

Same JannerUNet1d backbone, same DiscreteDiffusionSDE, same obs+act trajectory diffusion as default.
Replaces CumRewClassifier with an MLPCondition over normalized return, trained with label dropout. Sampling uses condition_cfg=target_return, w_cfg = {4.4, 6.0, 3.2} (Decision Diffuser paper values), w_cg = 0. No candidate re-ranking.

3. no_guidance — unconditional ablation

JannerUNet1d trained without any classifier or condition network.
Sampling with w_cg = w_cfg = 0, single sample per env-step (no re-ranking).

4. decision_diffuser — full CFG with DD architecture

Verbatim port of CleanDiffuser's dd_d4rl_mujoco.py (Ajay et al., 2022, arXiv:2211.15657).
State-only diffusion (obs rather than obs+act), DiT1d Transformer backbone, MlpInvDynamic to recover actions, ContinuousDiffusionSDE.

Tips

Guidance strength matters most in late-time steps (small t). Time-dependent w_cfg(t) schedules are an underexplored axis.
Combining CG and CFG additively in agent.sample (w_cg > 0 AND w_cfg > 0) is supported by DiscreteDiffusionSDE.
Re-ranking by a learned value head is a major source of CG performance — consider whether your method needs or replaces it.

11.3 三个实例的完整 trajectory(日志原文摘录)

🧪 实例 A(v3_1):首测即高峰,预算管理失败案例
Step 1-3: agent 阅读 instruction.md,确认 editable 组件为 planner(world model 冻结)。 决定实现 CustomPlanner。 Step 4: 写入 custom_planner.py —— hybrid CEM+iCEM: - elite 复用(跨迭代保留 top-k 精英并加噪声扰动) - 动量项(均值漂移惯性) - 时序平滑(相邻 timestep 动作序列相关性) 初始超参: num_samples=64, elites_size=max(10, num_samples//10), var_scale=1.8 Step 5: test#1 → 跑 horizon-30/60/90 三档评测 [TEST] horizon-30: success_rate=0.75 mean_dist=7.92 elapsed=332s [TEST] horizon-60: success_rate=0.85 mean_dist=4.75 elapsed=417s [TEST] horizon-90: success_rate=0.90 mean_dist=4.26 elapsed=668s → 首次 test 即超过 CEM/random,接近 MPPI。 Step 6-8: agent 尝试继续改进,连续三次 edit 工具调用失败: ERROR: Invalid arguments for 'edit': WorkspaceTools.edit() missing 1 required positional argument: 'op' 另有 conda run horizon_30.sh / horizon_60.sh 执行失败记录。 → 剩余 step 预算被烧光,无法再产出新版本。 Step 9: 只能原样提交 test#1 结果 submit(1)。 最终 leaderboard 行: deepseek-chat is_final=true 0.75/0.85/0.90 (332/417/668s) 教训:预算管理本身是 autoresearch 能力的一部分——工具调用格式错误连续烧掉 全部剩余 step,导致拿到高分也无法继续优化。
🧪 实例 B(v3_2):主动权衡,最终提交追平最强 baseline
Step 1: 同样实现 CustomPlanner(hybrid CEM+iCEM),核心机制与实例 A 类似但独立调参: - elites_size=max(10, num_samples//10) - var_scale=1.8(采样方差放大) - 动量 + 时序平滑 Step 2: test#1 → 0.85(h30) / 0.90(h60) / 0.85(h90) 注意:h30 比 A 高(0.85 vs 0.75),但 h90 只有 0.85。 Step 3-4: agent 分析各 horizon 表现后重写 planner(约 190→230 行), 重点加强长 horizon 的规划稳定性(更保守的方差调度 + 更强的精英保留)。 Step 5+: 后续 test 达到 0.75(h30) / 0.95(h60) / 0.95(h90),elapsed 852/852/1046s。 agent 主动权衡:接受 h30 从 0.85 降到 0.75,换取 h60/h90 双 0.95。 最终 submit 该版本。 leaderboard 最终行: 2026-08-19T11:45:48+00:00,deepseek-chat,true,42,0.75,7.8933,21.33,0.95,3.3238,32.42,0.95,1.9261,39.37,852,852,1046 亮点:h90 mean_dist=1.93 为全场最低(MPPI 3.28、CEM 3.44); h60/h90 双 0.95 追平综合最强的 MPPI baseline。
🧪 实例 C(最早实例):checkpoint 缺失触发本地重训,22 小时超时被杀
启动后 agent 发现 checkpoint ac_jepa_e11.pth.tar 不在 /data/eb_jepa/checkpoints/, 决定本地重新训练 world model: ~26 s/it × 260 it/epoch × 12 epoch ≈ 22 小时 远超单次运行超时窗口,进程被 SIGTERM 杀死(exit=143),无任何分数写入 leaderboard。 该实例没有 leaderboard 行,但它解释了「同样的代码有时 5 分钟出分、有时跑不完」的现象: 取决于 checkpoint 是否已缓存。后续两个实例(A/B)都直接复用了已有 checkpoint。
