What it does

The challenge predicts the next vector of anonymized market features from 1,000-step sequences, scored by average R².

My contribution

I built a memory-mapped dataset pipeline, augmentation, warmup normalization, residual model and CPU-safe inference export.

Technical highlight

A bidirectional GRU with attention pooling predicts residuals over mean, last-value, EMA and linear-trend baselines, with hand-built window features and bf16 GPU training.

Results and status

I did not finish a final submission. The project is a substantial partial challenge solution and should be read as work in progress.
