# # A third way to read the same window
#
# [`09_dl_lstm`](09_dl_lstm.ipynb) put two readings of the 60-settlement window against each other:
# NLinear, which applies one linear map to the whole window at once, and an LSTM, which walks the
# window one settlement at a time and carries a state. This notebook adds a third, fitted against
# the identical request contract so that the comparison is architecture and nothing else.
#
# A **temporal convolutional network** slides a small filter along the window instead of stepping
# through it. The filter here is `kernel_size: 3`, so one convolution sees three consecutive
# settlements. Stacking convolutions with growing **dilations** - `1, 2, 4, 8`, meaning each
# successive block skips one, three, then seven settlements between the positions it combines -
# lets a shallow stack reach far back without one filter per lag. Every convolution is **causal**:
# it is padded on the left and the padding is trimmed from the right, so the value at a position is
# computed only from that position and earlier ones. A model that reads its own future within the
# window would score well and mean nothing.
#
# The arithmetic is worth doing once, because it is what the dilation schedule is chosen for. Each
# of the four blocks applies two convolutions at its dilation, so a block extends the reach by
# `2 x (3 - 1) x d`. Summed over `d` in `1, 2, 4, 8`, the receptive field is
# `1 + 4 x (1 + 2 + 4 + 8) = 61` settlements against a declared lookback of 60. **The stack is
# sized so the last position sees the entire window**, with one settlement to spare - and a
# shorter dilation schedule would leave the earliest part of the window unreachable no matter how
# long the lookback said it was.
#
# ## Where this differs from the LSTM, and why it might matter here
#
# The two architectures aggregate over time in genuinely different ways, and on this data that is
# not a detail.
#
# - The LSTM's prediction is read off the state after the **last** settlement, so information from
#   early in the window has to survive being carried through sixty updates to be used.
# - This TCN pools its representation by **averaging over all positions** before the output layer.
#   Nothing has to survive a recurrence, and a pattern that occurred early in the window
#   contributes on the same footing as one that occurred late.
#
# For a premium that mean-reverts on a timescale of days, the two are different hypotheses about
# where the signal sits: at the end of the window, or spread across it. Neither is obviously right,
# which is the reason to fit both rather than to pick one.
#
# ## Same contract, same gaps, same checkpoints
#
# Everything [`09_dl_lstm`](09_dl_lstm.ipynb) establishes about the observation grid applies here
# unchanged, because it is the same request contract. The grid is the 8-hour funding settlement
# cadence, so a lookback of 60 is about 20 days. A window that would cross a settlement the grid
# expects and the data does not have is dropped rather than imputed
# (`exclude_windows_crossing_missing_expected_periods`), so `eligible_rows` in the contracts table
# below, not the panel height, is the sample the model is fitted on. Training runs 100 epochs with
# a checkpoint every 5, and each of the resulting 20 checkpoints is registered as its own
# prediction identity.
#
# **Learning objectives.** By the end of this notebook you will be able to:
#
# - Explain what causal padding is for, and what a convolutional sequence model would be measuring
#   without it.
# - Compute the receptive field of a dilated stack and check it against the declared lookback,
#   rather than assuming the two agree.
# - State how a convolutional model's time aggregation differs from a recurrent model's, and why
#   that is a hypothesis about the data rather than an implementation choice.
# - Read a resolved request and say what will be fitted, on how many eligible rows, before any
#   fitting happens.
#
# **Book reference:** Chapter 19, convolutional sequence models.
#
# **Prerequisites:** [`03_financial_features`](03_financial_features.ipynb) and
# [`04_model_based_features`](04_model_based_features.ipynb) have written the feature matrices, and
# [`05_evaluation`](05_evaluation.ipynb) has established the walk-forward folds. The canonical run
# uses CUDA; the reduced run in CI does not.
#
# **What it writes:** one training run per configuration and one complete validation prediction set
# per checkpoint, grouped under a named population that [`13_backtest`](13_backtest.ipynb) reads.
# **Selection happens there, on validation backtest Sharpe.** Nothing here ranks anything.

# ## Key takeaways and limitations
#
# - **The receptive field is a property of the architecture, not of the lookback.** Four blocks at
#   dilations 1, 2, 4, 8 with kernel 3 reach 61 settlements; the lookback is 60. Change either
#   without checking the other and the model quietly stops seeing part of the window it is handed.
# - **Causal padding is what makes the number honest.** Without trimming the right-hand padding,
#   each position would be computed partly from later ones, and the validation score would be
#   measuring a model that had seen the answer.
# - **Averaging over positions is a hypothesis.** This TCN pools its representation across the whole
#   window, so it treats a pattern early in the window as no less usable than one at the end. The
#   LSTM in [`09_dl_lstm`](09_dl_lstm.ipynb) does the opposite. Which is right is an empirical
#   question about where in the window the premium's information sits, and the backtest is where it
#   gets answered.
# - **Batch normalization pools across windows, not across time within one.** The statistics used to
#   normalize a training window come from the other windows in its batch, which may be
#   chronologically later within the same fold. Fold boundaries are respected, so no validation
#   information reaches training - but the training objective is not a pure per-window causal
#   function, and that is worth knowing before attributing a result entirely to the convolutions.
# - **Two folds is what the history supports.** The reach of the dilation schedule is not the
#   binding constraint on what this model can learn here; the length of the usable perpetual
#   funding record is.
