Everything claude-opus-4-8 did on this task, in order.
download JSON ↗Solid: my selection 408 vs random baseline 458 — an 11% PPL reduction. I have ~72 min left. The eval target is equal parts 4 registers, so register coverage likely matters. Let me check whether the target is arranged in register blocks (cheap, no training) — if so, per-register matching + balancing could improve coverage.

[metadata] {"noOutputExpected": false}Clear structure: the target is contiguous register blocks — Wikipedia (~0–260k, ~25%), news/web prose (~280k–750k, ~50%), technical Q&A/code (~760k–1M, ~25%). My combined-target unigram under-weights the code-heavy QA register (its tokens are rare in the 75%-non-QA target). Let me build per-register matching with balanced quotas and test it against my current 408. Backing up the current selection first.

[metadata] {"noOutputExpected": false}Major improvement: balanced register-matched selection scores 323.4 — vs 408 (combined unigram) and 458 (random). Register balancing was the key lever: the combined-target unigram starved the code-heavy QA register. Let me fold this into the deliverable curate.py.
args
{
"file_path": "/workspace/curate.py",
"content": "\"\"\"Curate a raw web pool into a priority-ordered selection for training a small LM.\n\nSTATED CRITERION (reproducible; no hand-picked ids)\n---------------------------------------------------\nThe scoring target is a BROAD, multi-domain high-quality English corpus made of\nfour equal registers: encyclopedic (Wikipedia), high-quality web prose, news, and\ntechnical Q&A. Inspecting the provided dev target (data/multi_dev.npy) shows it is\nlaid out in three contiguous register blocks:\n Wikipedia tokens 0 .. 260k (~25%)\n web + news tokens 280k .. 750k (~50%)\n technical QA tokens 760k .. 1000k (~25%)\n\nWe select documents by DSIR-style n-gram importance weighting (Xie et al. 2023),\napplied *per register* and then balanced to the target's register proportions:\n\n 1. Estimate a smoothed unigram model p_r for each register r and a background\n unigram model q over the whole pool.\n 2. Score every pool doc for register r by the mean per-token log importance\n weight s_r(d) = mean_{t in d} [ log p_r(t) - log q(t) ] -- how much more\n \"register-r-like\" than \"generic-pool-like\" its tokens are.\n 3. Drop web junk first: too short/long, exact duplicates, and low-diversity /\n whitespace-dominated boilerplate (one token > 30% of the doc, or type/token\n ratio < 0.30) -- these otherwise win the raw DSIR score (Apache \"Index of /\"\n listings, nav menus).\n 4. Fill the 12M-token budget by round-robin across registers in the target's\n proportion (wiki:web+news:qa = 1:2:1), taking each register's best unused\n docs.

It's a smooth valley (not a noisy spike), so 35/30/35 is a stable, transferable optimum — the middle register can't be starved below ~30%. Adopting 35/30/35. Let me update curate.py.

Inspecting the provided dev target (data/multi_dev.npy) shows it is\nlaid out in three contiguous register blocks:\n Wikipedia tokens 0 .. 260k (~25%)\n web + news tokens 280k .. 750k (~50%)\n technical QA tokens 760k .. 1000k (~25%)\n\nWe select documents by DSIR-style n-gram importance weighting (Xie et al. 2023),\napplied *per register* and then balanced to the target's register proportions:\n\n 1. Estimate a smoothed unigram model p_r for each register r and a background\n unigram model q over the whole pool.\n 2. Score every pool doc for register r by the mean per-token log importance\n weight s_r(d) = mean_{t in d} [ log p_r(t) - log q(t) ] -- how much more\n \"register-r-like\" than \"generic-pool-like\" its tokens are.\n 3. Drop web junk first: too short/long, exact duplicates, and low-diversity /\n whitespace-dominated boilerplate (one token > 30% of the doc, or type/token\n ratio < 0.30) -- these otherwise win the raw DSIR score (Apache \"Index of /\"\n listings, nav menus).\n 4. Fill the 12M-token budget by round-robin across registers in the target's\n proportion (wiki:web+news:qa = 1:2:1), taking each register's best unused\n docs. This guarantees the code-heavy QA register (which the *combined*-target\n unigram starves, since its tokens are rare in the 75%-non-QA target) gets its\n fair share -- the single biggest driver of held-out perplexity here.\n\nMatching the training MIXTURE to the eval mixture (not memorizing the dev sample)\nis what transfers to the hidden, disjoint official target of the same domain.\n\"\"\"\nimport json, os, sys, time, numpy as np\nfrom transformers import AutoTokenizer\n\nPOOL = \"/workspace/data/pool.jsonl\"\nTARGET = \"/workspace/data/multi_dev.npy\"\nOUT = \"/workspace/submission/selection.json\"\nCACHE = \"/tmp/pool_tok.npz\"\nV = 50257\nALPHA = 0.5 # add-alpha smoothing for the unigram models\nMINTOK, MAXTOK = 50, 20000\nTOP1MAX, TTRMIN = 0.30, 0.30\nBUDGET = 12_000_000\n# register token-index ranges in the dev target;

Summary
Result: dev held-out PPL 318.07 vs 457.99 random baseline — a ~30% reduction.
What I did
I framed pool curation as domain-matched data selection against the disclosed multi-domain target, and discovered two levers that drove the gains:
- Junk filtering. Pure per-token DSIR importance scoring rewarded repetitive boilerplate (Apache "Index of /" listings dominated the top). I dropped exact duplicates (11.7k of them), whitespace-dominated docs (one token >30%), and low-diversity docs (type/token ratio <0.30). Non-English sinks automatically.
- Per-register matching + capacity-aware balancing (the big win). Decoding
multi_dev.npy(GPT-2 tokens are reversible) revealed the target is three contiguous register blocks: Wikipedia (~25%), web+news prose (~50%), technical Q&A/code (~25%). A combined-target unigram starves the code-heavy Q&A register (0.8% of selected docs vs the target's ~25%). Scoring each doc per-register and filling the budget with balanced quotas restored coverage (→ 2.4% code docs, PPL 408→323). Sweeping the mixture showed a smooth convex valley minimized at 35/30/35 (over-weighting the higher-loss wiki+QA registers), reaching 318.
Progression (each a real training run)
| Selection | dev PPL |
|---|---|
| Random baseline | 457.99 |
| Combined-DSIR + junk filter | 408.46 |
| Balanced 25/50/25 | 323.41 |
| Capacity-tuned 35/30/35 (submitted) | 318.07 |
Deliverables
/workspace/submission/selection.json— 182,016 unique ordered ids (fills 12M tokens with ~20.7k docs)./workspace/submission/curate.py— reproducible; regenerates the exact byte-identical selection from the stated criterion./workspace/claim.md— Hypothesis / Mechanism (with two confirmed non-PPL observables: the 3× code-doc composition shift and the convex mixture valley) / Falsification / Transfer.
The submitted mixture sits in a flat valley (±3 PPL vs neighbors), so it's robust to slight register-proportion differences in the hidden official target, which shares the same domain.
