"""Architecture and feature ablation on the best target, with naive baselines.
Answers the two questions the thesis methodology asks (3.1.5 baselines, 3.1.9
ablation) on a target that demonstrably carries signal, so that a component
contributing nothing is a finding rather than a failure to learn anything at
all.
**The ladder.** Every rung sees identical folds, identical features and
identical scaling, so a difference between rungs is attributable to the rung:
majority always answer the more common class
persistence carry the previous period's answer forward
logistic one linear layer on the latest row
MLP non-linear, still one row: no temporal structure
GRU recurrence over the window
Transformer attention over the window, no latent variable
VAE+Transformer the deployed architecture
The two baselines come first on purpose. On this project's own screening a
target reached 94.71% accuracy while losing to its majority class, and traded
volume had the highest ROC-AUC of eight candidates while losing to persistence.
A ladder without naive rungs can rank seven architectures and still not
establish that any of them works.
**The feature arm** repeats the deployed architecture on market data alone,
market plus Fear & Greed, and market plus on-chain, which is the historic
versus sentiment comparison. Both external sources are daily and are lagged a
full day, so no feature describes the hour it scores.
**Implementation note.** The models are defined here rather than imported from
src/pipeline, which pulls in scikit-learn estimators. That keeps this script
runnable where those estimators are unavailable, and keeps the ablation
self-contained: a reader can see every architecture being compared in one file.
Usage (Colab for the full grid, roughly 2 hours on an A100):
