# Эксперимент: Heavy-Tail Path-Adaptive Optimizer Pool (#576) { "worked": false, "confidence": 9, "verdict": "Built a NumPy MVP of restarted diagonal AdaGrad experts with geometric horizons and the centered variance-normalized exponential meta-controller. Two quantitative checks matched the predicted mechanism: displacement had log-log slope 0.537 versus 0.5 for sqrt(H), and meta log-odds had slope 0.530 versus 0.5 with asymptotic ratios approaching 1. However, the dynamic recovery sweep did not show the claimed O(H) dependence (lags were 4, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8 for H=1,2,4,8,16,32), so the required mechanism criterion was not fully met; the exploratory comparison was also not equal-FLOP fair.", "metrics": { "baseline": "Shifted quadratic fixed AdaGrad: post-shift loss 6.19796, recovery lag 8 steps", "idea": "Pool: post-shift loss 0.04840 +/- 0.00161, recovery lag 12.5 steps; the strong loss result is confounded by multiple expert updates and unequal compute" }, "how_to_run": "/home/maxwelhelp/main/bin/python3 optimizer_pool.py", "files": [ "optimizer_pool.py", "results.txt", "README.md" ], "limitations": "Only a small scalar shifted-quadratic toy was tested; no neural fine-tuning, CIFAR, GPU, equal-backward-FLOP study, optimizer wall-clock analysis, or systematic heavy-tail noise-order sweep was performed. The restart implementation resets accumulators but does not reset expert parameters from the weighted model." }
