Project Status — v2 Pipeline
Deadline: 2026-04-24 | Started: 2026-04-03 | Updated: 2026-04-05 (Holdout eval done: cat F1=0.934, spec F1=0.895 vs GPT-5.4 proxy gold)
Carried Forward (not re-done)
- 72,045 paragraphs (all annotated in v2), quality tiers, 6 surgical patches
- DAPT checkpoint (eval loss 0.7250, ~14.5h) + TAPT checkpoint (eval loss 1.0754, ~50min)
- v1 data preserved: 150K Stage 1 annotations, 10-model benchmark, 6-annotator human labels, gold adjudication
- v2 codebook approved (5/6 group approval 2026-04-04)
Pipeline Steps
1. Codebook Finalization — DONE
- Draft v2 codebook (LABELING-CODEBOOK.md)
- Draft codebook ethos (CODEBOOK-ETHOS.md)
- Group approval (5/6, 2026-04-04)
2. Holdout Selection — DONE
- Heuristic v2 specificity prediction (keyword scan of v1 L1 → predicted L2, v1 L3 → predicted L4)
- Stratified holdout: 185 per non-ID category, 90 ID = 1,200 exact
- Max 2 paragraphs per company per category stratum
- Specificity floors met: L1=621, L2=119, L3=262, L4=198 (all ≥100)
- 1,042 companies represented, max 3 from any one company
- Output:
data/gold/v2-holdout-ids.json,data/gold/v2-holdout-manifest.jsonl - Script:
scripts/sample-v2-holdout.py - Dev set drawn from holdout (first 200 paragraphs used for prompt iteration)
3. Prompt Iteration — DONE
- Full rewrite of SYSTEM_PROMPT for v2 codebook (v4.0 → v4.5, ~8 iterations)
- Principle-first restructure: ERM test for L2, "unique to THIS company" for L3, external verifiability for L4
- Lists compressed to boundary-case disambiguation only (not exhaustive checklists)
- Category/specificity independence explicitly stated (presence check, not relevance judgment)
- Hard vs soft number boundary clarified for QV; lower bounds ("more than 20 years") count as hard
- VP/SVP title boundary: VP-or-above with IT/Security qualifier → L3; Director of IT without security qualifier → L1
- Schema updated: "Sector-Adapted" → "Domain-Adapted", 2+ QV → 1+ QV
- Piloted on 200 holdout paragraphs with GPT-5.4 across 5 iterations (~$6 total)
- v4.5 iteration: mechanical bridge (specific_facts → specificity level), expertise-vs-topic L1/L2 clarification, SI negative-assertion L4 fix, fact storage in output
- v4.4 results (200 paragraphs): L1=65, L2=41, L3=51, L4=43; category 95.5% agreement with v1
- Cost per 200: ~$1.20 (GPT-5.4)
- Prompt version: v4.5 (locked)
4. Full Holdout Validation — DONE
- Run GPT-5.4 on all 1,200 holdout paragraphs with v4.4 prompt ($5.70)
- Identified 34.5% medium-confidence specificity calls, concentrated at L1/L2 and L2/L3 boundaries
- Identified SI materiality assertions being false-promoted to L4 (negative assertions not verifiable)
- Identified specific_facts field not being stored to disk (toLabelOutput stripped it)
- Iterated to v4.5: mechanical bridge, expertise-vs-topic, SI L4 fix, fact storage
- Re-ran full 1,200 with v4.5 ($6.88)
- Verified bridge consistency: L1=all empty, L2+=all populated (100%)
- Verified SI L4 false positives eliminated (0 remaining)
- Verified TP L2→L1 drops are correct (generic vendor language, not cybersecurity expertise)
- v4.5 results (1,200 paragraphs): L1=618 (51.5%), L2=168 (14.0%), L3=207 (17.2%), L4=207 (17.2%)
- Confidence: 989 high (82.4%), 211 medium (17.6%) — down from 414 medium in v4.4
- Category stability: 96.8% agreement between v4.4 and v4.5
- L2 at 14%: below 15% target on holdout, but holdout oversamples TP (14.4% vs 5% in corpus). On full corpus (46% RMP, 5% TP), L2 should be ~15-17% since RMP L2 held up.
- Dev vs unseen stable: no prompt overfitting
5. Holdout Benchmark — DONE
- Run 10 models from 8 providers on 1,200 holdout (GPT-5.4, Grok Fast, Gemini Lite, Gemini Pro, MIMO Flash, Kimi K2.5, GLM-5, MiniMax M2.7, Opus 4.6, + 3 pilots)
- Opus prompt-only vs codebook A/B test (prompt-only wins: 85.2% vs 82.4% both-match)
- MIMO Flash broken on specificity (91% L1 collapse, κw=0.662) — disqualified
- Pilot 3 cheap candidates (Qwen3-235B, Seed 1.6 Flash, Qwen3.5 Flash) — all below Flash Lite quality
- Grok self-consistency test: 8.5% specificity divergence on repeated runs at temp=0 (reasoning stochasticity)
- Decision: Grok ×3 self-consistency panel (Wang et al. 2022)
- Benchmark cost: $45.47
- Top models: Grok Fast (86.1% both), Opus prompt-only (85.2%), Gemini Pro (84.2%)
- Stage 1 panel: Grok 4.1 Fast ×3 ($96 estimated)
6. Stage 1 Re-Run — DONE
- Lock v2 prompt (v4.5)
- Model selection: Grok 4.1 Fast ×3 (self-consistency)
- Re-run Stage 1 on full corpus (72,045 paragraphs × 3 runs, concurrency 200)
- Cross-run agreement: category 94.9% unanimous, specificity 91.3% unanimous
- Consensus: 62,510 unanimous (86.8%), 9,323 majority (12.9%), 212 judge tiebreaker (0.3%)
- GPT-5.4 judge on 212 unresolved paragraphs — 100% agreed with a Grok label
- Distribution check: L2=22.7% (above 15% target), categories healthy
- Stage 1 cost: $129.75 (3 runs) + $5.76 (judge) = $135.51
- Run time: ~33 min per run at concurrency 200
7. Labelapp Update ← CURRENT
- Update quiz questions for v2 codebook (v2 specificity rules, fixed impossible qv-3, all 4 levels as options)
- Update warmup paragraphs with v2 explanations
- Update onboarding content for v2 (Domain-Adapted, 1+ QV, domain terminology lists)
- Update codebook reference page for v2
- DB migration to clear old 72k data (0002_v2-reset.sql)
- Seed script updated for 1,200 holdout paragraphs only
- Nuke admin account, joey is admin
- Quiz is one-time (at onboarding), warmup resets each login session
- Run migration + seed (
la:db:migratethenla:seed) - Generate new BIBD assignments (3 of 6 annotators per paragraph)
8. Parallel Labeling
- Humans: annotators label v2 holdout (~600 per annotator, 2-3 days)
- Models: full benchmark panel on holdout (10 models, 8 providers + Opus via Agent SDK) — $45.47
- Estimated cost: ~$0 remaining (models done)
9. Gold Set Assembly
- Compute human IRR (category α > 0.75, specificity α > 0.67)
- Gold = majority vote; all-disagree → model consensus tiebreaker
- Cross-validate against model panel
10. Stage 2
- GPT-5.4 judge resolved 212 tiebreaker paragraphs during Stage 1 consensus ($5.76)
- Bench Stage 2 accuracy against gold (if needed for additional disputed paragraphs)
- Cost so far: $5.76 | Remaining budget: ~$39
11. Training Data Assembly — DONE
- Merge Stage 1 consensus with paragraph data (
python/src/finetune/data.py) - Exclude 1,200 holdout paragraphs (reserved for eval)
- Exclude 614 individually truncated paragraphs (not entire filings — more targeted than original plan)
- Quality tier weights: clean/headed/minor 1.0, degraded 0.5
- Stratified train/val split (90/10) from training set
- Training set size: 70,231 paragraphs (72,045 − 1,200 holdout − 614 truncated)
- Train/val split: 63,214 / 7,024
12. Fine-Tuning — DONE
- Ablation round 1: {base, +DAPT, +DAPT+TAPT} × {±class weighting} × {CE vs focal loss} = 12 configs × 1 epoch
- Ablation round 1 winner: base_weighted_ce (CORAL head, [CLS] pooling)
- CORAL limitation identified: shared weight vector can't capture 3 different transition signals (L1→L2: domain terms, L2→L3: firm facts, L3→L4: quantified claims)
- Architecture iteration: replaced CORAL with independent threshold heads (3 separate MLP binary classifiers), attention pooling, specificity confidence filtering
- Final model (iter1-independent, epoch 8): Cat F1=0.943, Spec F1=0.945, QWK=0.952, Combined=0.944
- Architecture: ModernBERT-large → attention pooling → dropout →
- Category: Linear(1024, 7) + weighted CE
- Specificity: 3× IndependentThreshold(Linear(1024→256→1)) + cumulative BCE + ordinal consistency reg.
- Key findings (ablation round 1):
- DAPT/TAPT pre-training did not help — base ModernBERT-large outperformed both
- Class weighting + CE is the best loss combination
- Focal loss + class weighting = too much correction (always bottom tier)
- TAPT consistently worst — likely overfitting on task paragraphs during MLM pre-training
- Key findings (architecture iteration):
- CORAL's shared weight vector was the primary bottleneck for specificity (0.517 → 0.940)
- Independent threshold heads let each L1→L2, L2→L3, L3→L4 transition learn different features
- Attention pooling captures distributed specificity signals (one "CISO" mention anywhere matters)
- Confidence filtering removes ~8.7% noisy boundary labels from specificity training
- Training speed: ~2.1 it/s, batch 32, seq 512, bf16, flash attention 2, torch.compile
- Peak VRAM: ~18-20 GB / 24.6 GB (RTX 3090)
- Improvement plan:
docs/SPECIFICITY-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md
13. Evaluation & Paper ← CURRENT
- Proxy eval: fine-tuned model on 1,200 holdout vs GPT-5.4 and Opus-4.6 proxy gold
- Full metrics suite: macro/per-class F1, precision, recall, MCC, AUC, QWK, MAE, Krippendorff's α, ECE, confusion matrices
- CORAL baseline comparison: same eval pipeline on CORAL epoch 5 checkpoint
- Figures: confusion matrices, calibration diagrams, per-class F1 bars, CORAL vs Independent comparison, speed/cost table
- Reference ceiling analysis: GPT-5.4 vs Opus-4.6 agreement = 0.885 macro spec F1 (our model exceeds this at 0.895)
- L2 error analysis: model L2 F1 (0.798) within 0.007 of reference ceiling (0.805)
- Sequence length analysis: only 139/72K paragraphs (0.19%) truncated at 512 tokens — negligible impact
- Opus labels completed: 1,200/1,200 (filled 16 missing from initial run)
- Macro F1 on holdout gold (target > 0.80 both heads) — blocked on human labels
- Per-threshold sigmoid tuning against human gold (potential +0.01-0.02 on L2 F1)
- Temperature scaling for improved calibration — T_cat=1.76, T_spec=2.46; ECE reduced 33%/40% (cat/spec); F1 unchanged
- Ensemble of 3 seeds for confidence intervals — seeds 42/69/420, val std ±0.002 spec, holdout +0.017 L2 F1, +0.007 spec F1 vs single seed
- Dictionary/keyword baseline (A-rubric "additional baselines") — Cat 0.55, Spec 0.66; gap to learned model documents value of context
- Confidence-filter ablation — null result, filtering does not affect F1; architecture changes carry the spec F1 improvement
- Error analysis against human gold, IGNITE slides
- Note in paper: specificity is paragraph-level (presence check), not category-conditional — acknowledge as limitation/future work
- Note in paper: DAPT/TAPT did not improve fine-tuning — noteworthy null result
- Note in paper: CORAL ordinal regression insufficient for multi-signal ordinal classification
- Note in paper: model exceeds inter-reference agreement — approaches ceiling of construct reliability
- Proxy gold results (vs GPT-5.4): Cat F1=0.934, Spec F1=0.895, MCC=0.923/0.866, AUC=0.992/0.982, QWK=0.932
- Proxy gold results (vs Opus-4.6): Cat F1=0.923, Spec F1=0.883, QWK=0.923
- Speed: 5.6ms/sample (178/sec) — 520× faster than GPT-5.4, 1,070× faster than Opus
- Next: deploy labelapp for human annotation, then gold evaluation + threshold tuning
