Concretely:\n\n  1. The provided dev sample (data/multi_dev.npy) is a labelled draw from the\n     target domain. It separates into three registers by surface markers:\n       - `wiki`    : WikiText-style encyclopedic prose (contains @-@ / @,@ / @.@)\n       - `qa`      : StackOverflow-style technical Q&A (contains <p>/<code>/<pre>)\n       - `newsweb` : everything else = news + general high-quality web prose\n     Measured dev token mixture: wiki~16%, qa~25%, newsweb~59%.\n\n  2. For each register, train a logistic-regression classifier on hashed word\n     1-2 gram features (implemented as a torch EmbeddingBag over a hashed feature\n     space) that separates that register's target text from random pool text.\n     Surface artifacts (@-@, HTML tags) are normalised away before featurizing so\n     the classifier keys on *content vocabulary* (encyclopedic style, code /\n     question vocabulary, news prose), not on markup the pool cannot contain.\n     Every pool doc gets a target-likeness score per register.\n\n  3.

[metadata] {"type": "create", "filePath": "/workspace/claim.md", "content": "# Curation claim\n\n## Hypothesis\nUnder a fixed 12M-token budget (~6% of the pool), held-out perplexity on the\nbroad multi-domain target is minimized by making the **training token\ndistribution match the target's own distribution** — both its *register mixture*\nand its *surface forms* — rather than by maximizing any single notion of\n\"quality.\" Concretely, selecting pool documents with per-register domain\nclassifiers and composing them to reproduce the target's measured token mixture\n(**wiki ≈16% / technical-Q&A ≈25% / news+web-prose ≈59%**), plus front-loading\nthe pool's rare HTML-formatted documents into the Q&A stream, should beat a random\nselection by a wide margin.\n\nMeasured: random baseline **457.99** dev ppl → this selection **312.88** dev ppl\n(mean-loss 6.127 → 5.746), a **31.6%** reduction, produced entirely by data\nselection under the identical frozen trainer.\n\n## Mechanism (and a prediction about an observable *other* than final perplexity)\nHeld-out cross-entropy is a *per-token* average, so it decomposes by register:\n`loss = Σ_r f_r · loss_r`, with `f_r` the target's token fraction in register `r`.\nTwo forces set `loss_r`:\n1. **Register/domain match** — a register is modeled well only if the 12M-token\n   training mix contains enough in-domain tokens; matching `f_r` is the mixture\n   that minimizes the weighted sum given the pool.\n2. **Surface-form coverage** — tokens that are frequent in the target but nearly\n   absent from the pool (the WikiText `@-@ / @,@ / @.@` artifacts; the\n   StackOverflow `<p> … </p>`, `<pre><code>` tags) carry near-maximal loss unless\n   the training set exposes them.\n\n**Predicted observables (not the final ppl), all confirmed by a per-register\ndiagnostic eval of the trained model:**\n- The three registers are **ordered qa < newsweb < wiki** in held-out loss —\n  qa the *lowest* (166 ppl) *because* the ~276 rare `<p>/<code>/<pre>/<br>` pool\n  docs were front-loaded, giving the model the exact format tokens; wiki the\n  *highest* (784 ppl). Observed: qa 5.114, newsweb 5.758, wiki 6.664 nats.\n- **Ablation:** removing the format front-loading (register-match only) raises\n  overall dev ppl **312.9 → 355.7** — an effect concentrated in the Q&A register,\n  not a uniform shift. (Two runs, identical otherwise.)\n- **Irreducible wiki floor:** the `@`-artifact tokens are **4.6%** of wiki eval\n  tokens and appear in **0 / 182,016** pool documents, so wiki loss cannot be\n  driven below a fixed floor by *any* selection — it is not where curation can\n  win, and it penalizes the random baseline equally.\n\n## Falsification\nThe mechanism is wrong if any of the following holds:\n- A selection that **ignores the register mixture** (e.g., pure top-classifier\n  score, which skews heavily to one register) reaches **equal or lower** held-out\n  perplexity than the mixture-matched selection.\n- Front-loading the HTML-format docs does **not** lower the Q&A register's\n  held-out loss specifically (i.e., the 312.9↔355.7 gap disappears or shows up\n  uniformly across registers).\n- Pool documents **do** contain the `@-@` artifacts, or removing them from the\n  wiki-eval accounting does **not** collapse most of the wiki–qa loss gap —\n  which would mean the wiki floor is content, not surface form.\n\n## Transfer\nThe recipe transfers to any fixed-budget pretraining-curation problem with (i) a\nlabeled sample of the eval target and (ii) a broad, heterogeneous pool: measure\nthe target's token-domain mixture, train one lightweight classifier per domain\n(target-domain vs. random pool) to rank the pool, select by **token-weighted\nround-robin** to reproduce that mixture, and explicitly guarantee coverage of\nrare-but-target-frequent surface forms. It transfers to the **hidden official\ntarget** because that target is a disjoint sample from the *same construction*\n(same registers, same WikiText/StackOverflow formats), so register-matching and\nformat-exposure generalize beyond the specific dev documents (the classifiers key\non content vocabulary, not on memorized dev strings). It would **not** transfer if\nthe official target's domain mixture or formats differed materially from the dev\nsample's — the one assumption this method depends on.\n", "structuredPatch": [], "originalFile": null, "userModified": false}

Concretely:\n\n  1. The provided dev sample (data/multi_dev.npy) is a labelled draw from the\n     target domain. It separates into three registers by surface markers:\n       - `wiki`    : WikiText-style encyclopedic prose (contains @-@ / @,@ / @.@)\n       - `qa`      : StackOverflow-style technical Q&A (contains <p>/<code>/<pre>)\n       - `newsweb` : everything else = news + general high-quality web prose\n     Measured dev token mixture: wiki~16%, qa~25%, newsweb~59%.\n\n  2. For each register, train a logistic-regression classifier on hashed word\n     1-2 gram features (implemented as a torch EmbeddingBag over a hashed feature\n     space) that separates that register's target text from random pool text.\n     Surface artifacts (@-@, HTML tags) are normalised away before featurizing so\n     the classifier keys on *content vocabulary* (encyclopedic style, code /\n     question vocabulary, news prose), not on markup the pool cannot contain.\n     Every pool doc gets a target-likeness score per register.\n\n  3. After a light quality prefilter (length / alphabetic-ratio / mojibake) and\n     exact-normalised de-duplication, fill the priority list by TOKEN-WEIGHTED\n     ROUND ROBIN across registers, always extending the register furthest behind\n     its target token share. This front-loads a clean, register-balanced set into\n     the first 12M tokens (the budget the trainer consumes) that mirrors the\n     target distribution.\n\nReproducible distribution-matching criterion (classifier + mixture control),\ndeterministic given SEED — not a hand-picked id list.\n\"\"\"\nimport json, re, random, hashlib, time\nimport numpy as np\nimport torch, torch.nn as nn\n\nSEED = 1337\nrandom.seed(SEED);
