Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele 876906965b Update default net to nn-52471d67216a.nnue
Created by retraining the master net with modifications to the previous best dataset:

* Improving T80 oct+nov 2022 endgame lambda accuracy by rescoring with 12-16tb of syzygy 7p tablebases
* Filtering T78 jun+jul+aug 2022 with d6pv2 search to remove positions with bestmove captures or one good move
* Adding T80 sep 2022 data, rescored with 16tb of 7p tablebases, unfiltered

Trained with max-epoch 900, end-lambda 0.7, and early-fen-skipping 28.

Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele 69639d764b Reintroduce nnue pawn scaling with lower lazy thresholds
Params found with the nevergrad TBPSA optimizer via nevergrad4sf modified to:

* use SPRT LLR with fishtest STC elo gainer bounds [0, 2] as the objective function
* increase the game batch size after each new optimal point is found

The params were the optimal point after TBPSA iteration 7 and 160 nevergrad evaluations with:

* initial batch size of 96 games per evaluation
* batch size increase of 64 games after each iteration
* a budget of 512 evaluations
* TC: fixed 1.5 million nodes per move, no time limit

nevergrad4sf enables optimizing stockfish params with TBPSA:
https://github.com/vondele/nevergrad4sf

Using pentanomial game results with smaller game batch sizes was inspired by:

Use of SPRT LLR calculated from pentanomial game results as the objective function was an experiment at maximizing the information from game batches to reduce the computational cost for TBPSA to converge on good parameters.

Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele 05dea2ca46 Update default net to nn-1337b1adec5b.nnue
Created by retraining the master net on a dataset composed of:

* Most of the previous best dataset filtered to remove positions likely having only one good move
* Adding training data from Leela T77 dec2021 rescored with 16tb of 7-piece tablebases

Trained with end lambda 0.7 and max epoch 900. Positions with ply <= 28 were removed from most of the previous best dataset before training began. A new nnue-pytorch trainer param for skipping early plies was used to skip plies <= 24 in the unfiltered and additional Leela T77 parts of the dataset.

The depth6 multipv2 search filtering method is the same as the one used for filtering recent best datasets, with a lower eval difference threshold to remove slightly more positions than before. These parts of the dataset were filtered:

* 96% of T60T70wIsRightFarseerT60T74T75T76.binpack
* 99% of dfrc_n5000.binpack
* T80 oct + nov 2022 data, no positions with castling flags, rescored with ~600gb 7p tablebases
* T79 apr + may 2022 data, rescored with 12tb 7p tablebases
* T60 nov + dec 2021 data, rescored with 12tb 7p tablebases

These parts of the dataset were not filtered. Positions with ply <= 24 were skipped during training:

* T78 aug + sep 2022 data, rescored with 12tb 7p tablebases
* 84% of T77 dec 2021 data, rescored with 16tb 7p tablebases

While the local elo ratings during this experiment were much lower than in recent master nets, several later epochs had a consistent elo above zero, and this was hypothesized to represent potential strength at slower time controls.

Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele 3d2381d76d Update default net to nn-1e7ca356472e.nnue
Created by retraining the master net on a dataset composed of:

* The Leela-dfrc_n5000.binpack dataset filtered with depth6 multipv2 search to remove positions with only one good move, in addition to removing positions where either of the two best moves are captures
* The same Leela T80 oct+nov 2022 training data used in recent best datasets
* Additional Leela training data from T60 nov+dec 2021 and T79 apr+may 2022

Trained with end lambda 0.7 and started with max epoch 800. All positions with ply <= 28 were skipped:

```

  --max_epoch 800
```

Around epoch 780, training was manually paused and max epoch increased to 920 before resuming.

During depth6 multipv2 data filtering, positions were considered to have only one good move if the score of the best move was significantly better than the 2nd best move in a way that changes the outcome of the game:

* the best move leads to a significant advantage while the 2nd best move equalizes or loses
* the best move is about equal while the 2nd best move loses

The modified stockfish branch and exact score thresholds used for filtering are at:
https://github.com/linrock/Stockfish/tree/tools-filter-multipv2-eval-diff/src/filter

About 95% of the Leela portion and 96% of the DFRC portion of the Leela-dfrc_n5000.binpack dataset was filtered. Unfiltered parts of the dataset were left out.

The additional Leela training data from T60 nov+dec 2021 and T79 apr+may 2022 was WDL-rescored with about 12TB of syzygy 7-piece tablebases where the material difference is less than around 6 pawns. Best moves were exported to .plain data files during data conversion with the lc0 rescorer.

More of the Leela-dfrc_n5000.binpack part of the dataset was pre-filtered with depth6 multipv2 search to remove bestmove captures. About 93% of the previous Leela/SF data and 99% of the SF dfrc data was filtered. Unfiltered parts of the dataset were left out. The new Leela T80 oct+nov data is the same as before.

The new Leela T80 part of the dataset was prepared by downloading test80 training data from all of Oct 2022 and Nov 2022, rescoring with syzygy 6-piece tablebases and ~600 GB of 7-piece tablebases, saving best moves to exported .plain files, removing all positions with castling flags, then converting to binpacks and using interleave_binpacks.py to merge them together. Scripts used in this data conversion process are available at:
https://github.com/linrock/lc0-data-converter

Filtering binpack data using depth6 multipv2 search was done by modifying transform.cpp in the tools branch:
