Optimization Parity
Research Question
Can you improve a fixed two-layer MLP's ability to learn sparse parity by designing only its initialization, training dataset, and AdamW hyperparameters?
What You Can Modify
Edit the scaffold file pytorch-examples/optimization_parity/custom_strategy.py only inside the editable block containing:
init_model(model, config)make_dataset(secret, config, seed)get_optimizer_config(config)
The benchmark is evaluated on three configurations: (N=32, K=8), (N=50, K=8), and (N=64, K=8), all with W=512.
Fixed Setup
- Task:
y = (sum_{i in S} x_i) mod 2for a hidden secret subsetS - Inputs: binary vectors
x in {0,1}^N - Model:
Linear(N, W) -> ReLU -> Linear(W, 1) -> Sigmoid - Optimizer type:
AdamW - Loss: binary cross-entropy
- Batch size:
128 - Training budget: up to
100000steps, reshuffling every epoch - Evaluation: 10 hidden secrets, 10 random epoch-orderings per secret, mean held-out test accuracy over all 100 runs
Interface Notes
init_model(...)must not depend on the hidden secret.make_dataset(...)may use the provided secret and must return either(x, y)or{"x": x, "y": y}.xmust have shape[num_examples, N]with binary values only.ymust have shape[num_examples](or[num_examples, 1]) with binary labels.- Training dataset size must stay
<= 12_800_000examples. get_optimizer_config(...)must returnlr,wd,beta1, andbeta2.
Metric
The leaderboard metric is test_accuracy (also emitted as score), the mean test accuracy across all 100 training runs.
Hints
- The dataset generator knows the sampled secret even though the agent writing the code does not.
- Balanced or structured coverage of the secret coordinates can matter more than raw dataset size.
- The benchmark driver already handles training, evaluation, reproducibility, and logging.
