Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele a49b3ba7ed Update default net to nn-5af11540bbfe.nnue
Created by retraining the sparsified master net (nn-cd2ff4716c34.nnue) on
a 100% minified dataset including Leela transformers data from T80 may2023.

Weights permuted with the exact methods and code in:
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4620

LEB128 compression done with the new serialize.py param in:
https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/pull/251

Initially trained with max epoch 800. Around epoch 780, training was paused
and max epoch raised to 960.

Linmiao XuandStéphane Nicolet 932f5a2d65 Update default net to nn-ea57bea57e32.nnue
Created by retraining an earlier epoch (ep659) of the experiment that led to the first SFNNv6 net:
- First retrained on the nn-0dd1cebea573 dataset
- Then retrained with skip 20 on a smaller dataset containing unfiltered Leela data
- And then retrained again with skip 27 on the nn-0dd1cebea573 dataset

The equivalent 7-step training sequence from scratch that led here was:

1. max-epoch 400, lambda 1.0, constant LR 9.75e-4, T79T77-filter-v6-dd.min.binpack
   ep379 chosen for retraining in step2

2. max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.75, T60T70wIsRightFarseerT60T74T75T76.binpack
   ep679 chosen for retraining in step3

3. max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.75, skip 28, nn-e1fb1ade4432 dataset
   ep799 chosen for retraining in step4

4. max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.7, skip 28, nn-e1fb1ade4432 dataset
   ep759 became nn-8d69132723e2.nnue (first SFNNv6 net)
   ep659 chosen for retraining in step5

5. max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.7, skip 28, nn-0dd1cebea573 dataset
   ep759 chosen for retraining in step6

6. max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.7, skip 20, leela-dfrc-v2-T77decT78janfebT79aprT80apr.binpack
   ep639 chosen for retraining in step7

7. max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.7, skip 27, nn-0dd1cebea573 dataset
   ep619 became nn-ea57bea57e32.nnue

Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele 373359b44d Update default net to nn-0dd1cebea573.nnue
Created by retraining an earlier epoch of the experiment leading to the first SFNNv6 net
on a more-randomized version of the nn-e1fb1ade4432.nnue dataset mixed with unfiltered
T80 apr2023 data. Trained using early-fen-skipping 28 and max-epoch 960.

The trainer settings and epochs used in the 5-step training sequence leading here were:
1. train from scratch for 400 epochs, lambda 1.0, constant LR 9.75e-4, T79T77-filter-v6-dd.min.binpack
2. retrain ep379, max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.75, T60T70wIsRightFarseerT60T74T75T76.binpack
3. retrain ep679, max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.75, skip 28, nn-e1fb1ade4432 dataset
4. retrain ep799, max-epoch 800, end-lambda 0.7, skip 28, nn-e1fb1ade4432 dataset
5. retrain ep439, max-epoch 960, end-lambda 0.7, skip 28, shuffled nn-e1fb1ade4432 + T80 apr2023

This net was epoch 559 of the final (step 5) retraining:

During data preparation, most binpacks were unminimized by removing positions with
score 32002 (`VALUE_NONE`). This makes the tradeoff of increasing dataset filesize
on disk to increase the randomness of positions in interleaved datasets.

Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele c1fff71650 Update NNUE architecture to SFNNv6 with larger L1 size of 1536
Created by training a new net from scratch with L1 size increased from 1024 to 1536.
Thanks to Vizvezdenec for the idea of exploring larger net sizes after recent
training data improvements.

A new net was first trained with lambda 1.0 and constant LR 8.75e-4. Then a strong net
from a later epoch in the training run was chosen for retraining with start-lambda 1.0
and initial LR 4.375e-4 decaying with gamma 0.995. Retraining was performed a total of
3 times, for this 4-step process:

1. 400 epochs, lambda 1.0 on filtered T77+T79 v6 deduplicated data
2. 800 epochs, end-lambda 0.75 on T60T70wIsRightFarseerT60T74T75T76.binpack
3. 800 epochs, end-lambda 0.75 and early-fen-skipping 28 on the master dataset
4. 800 epochs, end-lambda 0.7 and early-fen-skipping 28 on the master dataset

In the training sequence that reached the new nn-8d69132723e2.nnue net,
the epochs used for the 3x retraining runs were:

1. epoch 379 trained on T77T79-filter-v6-dd.min.binpack
2. epoch 679 trained on T60T70wIsRightFarseerT60T74T75T76.binpack
3. epoch 799 trained on the master dataset

For training from scratch:

python3 easy_train.py \

  --training-dataset /data/T77T79-filter-v6-dd.min.binpack \

Linmiao XuandJoost VandeVondele c3ce220408 Created by retraining the master net with these changes to the dataset:
* Extending v6 filtering to data from T77 dec2021, T79 may2022, and T80 nov2022
* Reducing the number of duplicate positions, prioritizing position scores seen later in time
* Using a binpack minimizer to reduce the overall data size

Trained the same way as the previous master net, aside from the dataset changes:

```

The new v6-dd filtering reduces duplicate positions by iterating over hourly data files within leela test runs, starting with the most recent, then keeping positions the first time they're seen and ignoring positions that are seen again. This ordering was done with the assumption that position scores seen later in time are generally more accurate than scores seen earlier in the test run. Positions are de-duplicated based on piece orientations, the first token in fen strings.

The binpack minimizer was run with default settings after first merging monthly data into single binpacks.

The v3 filtering used for data from T77dec 2021 differs from v2 filtering in that:

* To improve binpack compression, positions after ply 28 were skipped during training by setting position scores to VALUE_NONE (32002) instead of removing them entirely
* All early-game positions with ply <= 28 were removed to maximize binpack compression
* Only bestmove captures at d6pv2 search were skipped, not 2nd bestmove captures
* Binpack compression was repaired for the remaining positions by effectively replacing bestmoves with "played moves" to maintain contiguous sequences of positions in the training game data

After improving binpack compression, The T77 dec2021 data size was reduced from 95G to 19G.

The v6 filtering used for data from T80augsepoctT79aprT78aprtosep 2022 differs from v2 in that:

* All positions with only one legal move were removed
* Tighter score differences at d6pv2 search were used to remove more positions with only one good move than before
* d6pv2 search was not used to remove positions where the best 2 moves were captures

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:

* 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

```

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.
