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 \
--experiment-name new-L1-1536-T77T79-filter-v6dd \
--training-dataset /data/T77T79-filter-v6-dd.min.binpack \
--max_epoch 400 \
--lambda 1.0 \
--start-from-engine-test-net False \
--engine-test-branch linrock/Stockfish/L1-1536 \
--nnue-pytorch-branch linrock/Stockfish/misc-fixes-L1-1536 \
--tui False \
--gpus "0," \
--seed $RANDOM
Retraining commands were similar to each other. For the 3rd retraining run:
python3 easy_train.py \
--experiment-name L1-1536-T77T79-v6dd-Re1-LeelaFarseer-Re2-masterDataset-Re3-sameData \
--training-dataset /data/leela96-dfrc99-v2-T60novdecT80juntonovjanfebT79aprmayT78jantosepT77dec-v6dd.binpack \
--early-fen-skipping 28 \
--max_epoch 800 \
--start-lambda 1.0 \
--end-lambda 0.7 \
--lr 4.375e-4 \
--gamma 0.995 \
--start-from-engine-test-net False \
--start-from-model /data/L1-1536-T77T79-v6dd-Re1-LeelaFarseer-Re2-masterDataset-nn-epoch799.nnue \
