That original approach used a 5-gram cache with fixed mixing and an oracle safety gate that was subsequently ruled illegal by organizers (comparing mixed vs original NLL peeks at the target). + +This submission replaces the illegal oracle gate with entropy-adaptive mixing and multi-order backoff, combined with a drift-free TTT configuration. + +## Technique + +### 1. Multi-order N-gram Backoff (orders 2-7) + +Instead of a single fixed n-gram order, we try the highest order first and cascade down on miss. Each order uses 4M hash buckets to reduce collisions. This dramatically improves coverage: a fixed 7-gram misses when the exact 6-token context has not been seen, but backoff to 6, 5, 4, 3, 2-gram catches those cases. + +N-gram counts are accumulated from already-scored tokens only. Updated after scoring each chunk. + +### 2. Entropy-Adaptive Alpha +``` +alpha = 0.05 + 0.55 * sigmoid(2 * (H - 4.0)) +``` + +where H is the neural model's own entropy over its output distribution. When the model is uncertain (high entropy), we trust n-gram statistics more. When confident (low entropy), we trust the model. This depends solely on the model's output distribution, never on the true target. No oracle selection. + +The mixed probability is always applied: +``` +p_mixed = (1 - alpha) * p_neural + alpha * p_ngram +``` + +### 3. Drift-Free TTT Configuration + +Standard TTT configurations suffer from late-chunk drift: BPB bottoms around chunk 21 then climbs as cumulative adaptation becomes destructive. We use a conservative configuration that produces monotonic improvement through all 60 chunks: + +| Parameter | Setting | +|-----------|---------| +| Unfrozen params | Q projections only (QTTT=1) | +| Mixer eta | 0.02 | +| TTT LR | 0.00003 | +| Chunk size | 1M tokens (60 chunks) | +| Epochs per chunk | 1 | +| Adaptive LR | Disabled | +| Polyak averaging | Disabled | + +The most impactful hyperparameters are mixer eta and TTT learning rate. Reducing eta from 0.1 to 0.02 prevents expert weight runaway. Reducing TTT LR from 1e-4 to 3e-5 prevents destructive late-chunk weight updates. Together these eliminate the drift pattern entirely: BPB drops monotonically from 1.15 at chunk 1 to 0.67 at chunk 60, never reversing. + +## Ablation + +| Configuration | val_bpb | Delta | +|---------------|---------|-------| +| Base model (no mixer, no TTT) | 1.1363 | baseline | +| TTT only (no mixer) | 1.1369 | -0.000 | +| Mixer only (no TTT) | 0.6712 | -0.465 | +| **Full system** | **0.6663** | **-0.470** | + +The ablation is unambiguous: the BackoffNgramMixer is the dominant innovation, contributing 99% of the total improvement (-0.465 of -0.470 BPB). TTT alone with drift-free settings contributes essentially nothing in isolation. When combined with the mixer, TTT adds a marginal 0.005 BPB through slightly improved base predictions that the entropy-adaptive alpha can exploit. + +The practical implication: the n-gram backoff with entropy-adaptive mixing is a general technique applicable to any language model evaluation. It does not require TTT, architectural changes, or retraining. It is a pure eval-time improvement that treats BPB as a compression problem and applies adaptive compression statistics from already-scored tokens. + +## Compliance + +- **Score-first TTT:** Each chunk scored under `torch.inference_mode()` before any training on that chunk +- **Backward-looking n-gram:** Counts from already-scored tokens only, updated after scoring +- **No oracle selection:** Alpha depends on model entropy, never compares mixed vs original NLL +- **No training data at eval:** Naive int5 per-row quantization only.
