- Around line 715-716: The current code calls
SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.TryGetEffectiveGradient(context, param, Engine,
out var grad) before attempting the sparse scatter, which can materialize sparse
rows into a dense tensor and defeat the sparse fast path; change the control
flow so the optimizer first attempts the sparse scatter (the block that performs
the sparse scatter/row-scatter operation around the later call, e.g., the
ScatterSparseRows/TryApplySparseGradient block) using available sparse-check
helpers (or inspecting grad metadata) and only if that sparse scatter path fails
or is not applicable then call TryGetEffectiveGradient to materialize a dense
grad and continue the dense update path; specifically move the
TryGetEffectiveGradient call out of the top of the loop and place it after the
sparse-scatter attempt for the same parameter handling code (refer to
TryGetEffectiveGradient(context, param, Engine, out var grad) and the subsequent
sparse scatter block) so sparse gradients are handled without unnecessary dense
materialization.
In `@src/Optimizers/AdamWOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 619-620: In the AdamWOptimizer loop, defer calling
SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.TryGetEffectiveGradient for a parameter until
after attempting the sparse-embedding AdamW path: try the
sparse-scatter/sparse-update block (the sparse AdamW path around the sparse
scatter starting near line 643) first without materializing a full gradient, and
only invoke TryGetEffectiveGradient when falling back to the dense update path;
in short, move or duplicate the TryGetEffectiveGradient call so it runs only in
the dense-update branch of AdamWOptimizer and not before the sparse-scatter
attempt.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.cs`:
- Around line 175-183: The double branch is allocating full dense arrays via
param.Data.ToArray(), m.Data.ToArray(), v.Data.ToArray() inside the call to
ApplyAdamSparseDouble which defeats the sparse-path memory benefit; change the
sparse fast path to avoid creating these ToArray() copies by making
ApplyAdamSparseDouble accept and use the underlying storage or a span/segment
view (e.g., pass the original tensor buffers or
ReadOnlySpan<double>/Span<double> wrappers instead of arrays) and update callers
accordingly (same change for the other occurrence around ApplyAdamSparseDouble
at the 253-265 region); specifically remove the three ToArray() calls on
param.Data, m.Data, and v.Data and pass references/streams/spans that let
ApplyAdamSparseDouble operate only on the sparse indices (sparseList,
embeddingDim) without allocating full N-sized arrays.

…e fast path Review #1526 (3 threads): 1+2. AdamOptimizer / AdamWOptimizer resolved the "effective" gradient at the top of the parameter loop via TryGetEffectiveGradient, which ToDense's a sparse-only embedding grad into a full [vocab, dim] tensor — and then the sparse scatter fast path ran and `continue`d, throwing that dense tensor away. For a 250k-vocab table that's the exact O(vocab*dim) allocation the sparse path exists to avoid. Reordered: a cheap presence check (HasSparseEmbeddingGrad — a dictionary lookup, no materialization) gates the skip; the sparse scatter runs first (it reads the sparse grads directly, not the dense `grad`); only if it declines (AMSGrad / non-rank-2 / no sparse grads) do we call TryGetEffectiveGradient to materialize the dense gradient the GPU/dense paths genuinely need. Numerically identical — only the timing of materialization changes. 3. ApplyAdamSparse's double branch allocated three full-tensor copies (param/m/v .ToArray()) every call and passed them as _paramSnap/_mSnap/_vSnap parameters that the method never reads — it re-derives writable spans from the tensors directly (exactly like the float branch). Removed the dead parameters and the three ToArray() allocations, so the double sparse path no longer does O(N) dense work it then ignores. Added internal HasSparseEmbeddingGrad<T> helper (cheap count check, no ToDense). Verified: library + tests build; sparse-optimizer tests pass; FusedOptimizer parity tests pass 8/8 in isolation. The 5 failures in the full parallel ~Adam filter (TADAM x2, QuIP, FlashAttention, fused-parity) are pre-existing on the branch tip without these changes (confirmed by stash/baseline run — the set even varies run-to-run, i.e. parallel-order flakes) and are unrelated to the optimizer reorder.

Inline comments:
In `@src/Optimizers/AdaDeltaOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 420-421: The sparse-parameter branch in AdaDeltaOptimizer is
hardcoding lr: 1.0 (alongside _options.Rho, _options.Epsilon, weightDecay: 0.0)
which causes a mismatch with the dense path that uses CurrentLearningRate;
update the sparse branch to pass the same learning rate semantics (use
CurrentLearningRate instead of 1.0) so sparse and dense updates scale
identically—modify the call that currently provides lr: 1.0 in the sparse update
path of AdaDeltaOptimizer (the same place where _options.Rho and
_options.Epsilon are passed) to use CurrentLearningRate.
In `@src/Optimizers/AdamOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 715-723: The pre-step anomaly and global-norm scans
(AnyGradientIsAnomalous() and ApplyGlobalNormGradientClipping()) currently only
iterate context.Gradients and therefore miss sparse-only embedding grads; update
the pre-step logic so it includes sparse embedding gradients for each parameter
by either materializing sparse grads into context.Gradients before those scans
or by having those scans also call
DifferentiableOps.GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor(param) (or equivalent) when
examining each parameter; ensure TryApplyAdamSparse(...) still uses the sparse
fast path but that AnyGradientIsAnomalous() and
ApplyGlobalNormGradientClipping() account for
SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.HasSparseEmbeddingGrad(param) and the actual
sparse rows to avoid NaN/Inf poisoning and undercounting global norm.
In `@src/Optimizers/AMSGradOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 303-309: The sparse AMSGrad path uses bc2 (second-moment bias
correction) causing divergence from the dense path which does not apply this
correction; update the call to
SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.TryApplyAmsgradSparse in AMSGradOptimizer (the
method invoking bc1/bc2) to stop applying second-moment bias correction by
passing 1.0 (no correction) for the bc2 argument (leave bc1 and other parameters
unchanged) so the sparse update matches the dense branch behavior.
In `@src/Optimizers/BFGSOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 507-513: After calling context.Reevaluate() the code retries
reading flat gradients but never re-materializes sparse-only embedding
gradients; ensure you call
SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.MaterializeSparseIntoGradientsDict(context,
Engine) again immediately after context.Reevaluate() and before the subsequent
GetFlatGradients/Hessian assembly logic (the retry path around lines where
GetFlatGradients and Hessian assembly are invoked) so sparse embedding
contributions are present on the retry.
In `@src/Optimizers/LAMBOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 561-577: The sparse-path call to
SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.TryApplyLambSparse in the HasSparseEmbeddingGrad
branch doesn't honor _options.WeightDecay or the ClipTrustRatio/MaxTrustRatio
semantics; modify the guard so that before invoking TryApplyLambSparse (inside
the if (SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.HasSparseEmbeddingGrad(param)) block)
you check _options.WeightDecay == 0 && !_options.ClipTrustRatio (or otherwise
ensure ClipTrustRatio is disabled and MaxTrustRatio is irrelevant), and if those
conditions are not met fall through to the dense LAMB path (i.e., do not call
TryApplyLambSparse and let the later dense logic handle this param) so weight
decay and trust-ratio clipping remain consistent with the dense branch.
In `@src/Optimizers/LARSOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 462-474: The sparse branch (HasSparseEmbeddingGrad +
TryApplyLarsSparse) skips untouched embedding rows so weight decay from
_options.WeightDecay is not applied uniformly; either apply weight decay across
the full param tensor before/after the sparse fast path or disable the sparse
fast path when _options.WeightDecay != 0. Update the code around
HasSparseEmbeddingGrad/TryApplyLarsSparse to check _options.WeightDecay (e.g.,
NumOps.ToDouble(baseLr) and _options.WeightDecay) and if non‑zero fall back to
the dense LARS path (or call a full-tensor decay routine that applies weight
decay to param and then proceed with sparse updates), ensuring
_tapeVelocity/velSp logic remains consistent.
In `@src/Optimizers/LBFGSOptimizer.cs`:
- Around line 533-539: The retry path calls context.Reevaluate() and then reads
gradients again via GetFlatGradients() but misses rematerializing sparse-only
embedding gradients, so ensure you call
SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.MaterializeSparseIntoGradientsDict(context,
Engine) again after context.Reevaluate() and before the second
GetFlatGradients() invocation; update the retry flow in LBFGSOptimizer (around
the code that calls context.Reevaluate(), GetFlatGradients(), and
AssembleHessian/ApplyUpdate) to re-run MaterializeSparseIntoGradientsDict to
include sparse grads on retries.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.AdaDelta.cs`:
- Around line 52-82: The code applies AdaDelta updates once per sparse
occurrence so repeated token ids update accumGrad/accumDelta multiple times;
instead coalesce duplicate rows so each unique vocab row gets a single
aggregated gradient vector before computing updates. Modify the loop that
iterates sparseList / sparse.NumIndices (symbols: sparseList, sparse.NumIndices,
sparse.Values, sparse.Indices, embeddingDim) to first aggregate per-row
gradients into a temporary map/array keyed by row (sum values[valBase + c] for
duplicates), then iterate the unique rows and perform the existing AdaDelta
update logic using the aggregated gradient g (and still apply weight decay via
hasWd/wdT to the summed gradient) to update accumGrad, accumDelta and param
exactly once per row (using accumGrad, accumDelta, param, ops, lrT, rhoT, omRho,
epsT as in the current inner loop).
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.Adamax.cs`:
- Around line 23-45: The sparse fast-path must bail to the dense path for
regularized or multi-chunk sparse grads: before calling
ApplyAdamaxSparseDouble/Float (after obtaining sparseList from
DifferentiableOps.GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor and validating shapes), add a guard
that returns false if weightDecay != 0.0 or if sparseList contains multiple
gradient entries targeting the same embedding row (i.e., duplicate row indices /
multi-chunk updates) — alternatively coalesce those entries first; this ensures
we don't skip decay for untouched rows or advance Adamax state incorrectly when
a parameter has multiple sparse contributions.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.Amsgrad.cs`:
- Around line 26-49: The sparse fast-path changes AMSGrad semantics when
weightDecay != 0 or when multiple sparse chunks are present, so update the guard
in the helper that calls DifferentiableOps.GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor (the
function that eventually calls ApplyAmsgradSparseDouble /
ApplyAmsgradSparseFloat) to return false if weightDecay != 0 or sparseList.Count
> 1; place these checks after obtaining sparseList and before any
rank/shape/type-specific calls so the dense/materialized fallback is used in
those cases.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.cs`:
- Around line 77-91: The loop currently skips materializing sparse grads when
context.Gradients contains the key even if the value is null; change the
presence check to treat null entries as missing by using TryGetValue (or
checking value != null) so only non-null dense gradients cause a skip.
Specifically, in the loop over context.Parameters, replace the ContainsKey check
with something like: if (context.Gradients.TryGetValue(param, out var existing)
&& existing != null) continue; leaving the rest (GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor,
ToDense, TensorAdd and assigning context.Gradients[param] = materialised)
unchanged.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.Lamb.cs`:
- Around line 27-49: The sparse LAMB fast path (GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor ->
ApplyLambSparseDouble/ApplyLambSparseFloat) computes norms/ trust ratio from
only touched rows, which is invalid when weightDecay != 0 or when
sparseList.Count > 1 (per-chunk m/v and uNorm differ from the summed gradient);
add a guard early in the caller (before calling ApplyLambSparseDouble/Float)
that returns false if weightDecay != 0 or sparseList.Count > 1 so callers fall
back to dense materialization, or alternatively coalesce the sparse gradients /
implement lazy decay so the trust ratio is computed on the summed
gradient—prefer the simple guard: check weightDecay and sparseList.Count and
return false.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.Lars.cs`:
- Around line 25-42: Sparse LARS must not run for regularized or multi-chunk
sparse gradients; add a guard in the block that calls
ApplyLarsSparseDouble/ApplyLarsSparseFloat to return false when weightDecay is
nonzero or when sparseList indicates multiple chunks. Specifically, before the
typeof(T) branches (after retrieving sparseList), check if weightDecay != 0 or
sparseList.Count > 1 (or any condition your sparse payload type exposes for
multi-chunk) and return false so the dense/materialized LARS path handles those
cases; keep references to GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor, sparseList,
ApplyLarsSparseDouble, and ApplyLarsSparseFloat to locate the change.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.Lion.cs`:
- Around line 21-41: The current sparse helper uses
DifferentiableOps.GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor(param) and processes each
sparseList entry independently in ApplyLionSparseDouble / ApplyLionSparseFloat,
which causes incorrect sign(cEff) and per-row momentum updates and skips rows
when weightDecay != 0; update the helper so it either coalesces sparseList into
a single combined gradient per index and applies global/lazy weight decay before
computing sign(c) and updating momentum, or if you cannot implement coalescing
and lazy decay here, make OptimizeSparseEmbeddingLion return false so callers
will fall back to dense materialization; reference the functions
GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor, ApplyLionSparseDouble, ApplyLionSparseFloat and the
optimizer helper method to locate and change the behavior.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.Nadam.cs`:
- Around line 23-45: The sparse Nadam path should early-reject cases it can't
match to dense semantics: before calling
ApplyNadamSparseDouble/ApplyNadamSparseFloat, add guards to return false when
weightDecay != 0 (regularization) or when any entry in sparseList represents
multiple contributions/sources (i.e., where an entry's
contribution-count/grads-length > 1), because the current code applies
corrections per entry rather than on the summed gradient; place these checks
right after obtaining sparseList from
DifferentiableOps.GetSparseEmbeddingGradsFor and before the typeof(T) branches
so dense fallback is used instead.
In `@src/Optimizers/SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.Sgd.cs`:
- Around line 55-110: The generic sparse SGD path applies momentum/weight-decay
per occurrence instead of per aggregated row, causing incorrect updates for
repeated token ids; restrict the sparse generic branch to only handle plain SGD
by returning false (declining the sparse path) unless momentum == 0.0 and
weightDecay == 0.0, or alternatively implement aggregation of sparse rows before
applying momentum/weight-decay. Concretely, in the generic-T fallback (the block
that computes ops, lrT/momT/wdT, hasWd and iterates sparseList/indices/values
updating param and velocity), add a guard that if momentum != 0.0 || weightDecay
!= 0.0 then do not perform the sparse update (return false) so callers will fall
back to a safe dense/aggregating path; if you prefer correctness instead,
replace the per-occurrence loop with logic that first scatter-adds values by row
(aggregating gradients for repeated indices) before applying momentum and
weight-decay to velocity and param.

…erges (PR #1526) CodeRabbit flagged 16 cases where the sparse fast paths produced different results than the dense path. The shared root cause: sparse-only updates touch indexed rows but dense applies semantics across all rows or all sparse-list chunks. Fix: bail to dense materialization for every case the sparse helper can't honor exactly. Adam continues to use scatter for the common case. Specific bails added to each helper (LAMB/LARS/Lion/Nadam/Adamax/AMSGrad/ AdaDelta/Adagrad/RMSProp/FTRL/ProximalL1/Adam8Bit + the shared Adam helper + SGD-family): * sparseList.Count != 1 — multi-chunk per-chunk advances state once per chunk instead of once on the summed gradient. * weightDecay != 0 — dense applies decay to every parameter index even when grad is sparse; sparse-only would leave untouched embedding rows undecayed. * HasDuplicateRows(sparseList) — when the same token id appears twice in one batch, dense scatter-adds the duplicates BEFORE the optimizer step; per-occurrence sparse would advance moments/accumulators twice and corrupt state. New shared helper added to SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers.cs. * Plain-SGD-only constraint (momentum == 0 && weightDecay == 0) for the SGD helper, since momentum + weight decay aren't linear in the gradient. Specific math-divergence fixes: * AMSGrad sparse helper was dividing vMax by bc2; the dense AMSGradOptimizer does NOT (sqrt(vMax) + eps, not sqrt(vMax/bc2) + eps). Removed bc2 division in both the generic and the double/float fast paths. * AdaDeltaOptimizer was passing hard-coded lr=1.0 to TryApplyAdaDeltaSparse; use NumOps.ToDouble(CurrentLearningRate) so sparse updates scale the same as dense under the same configuration. * LAMBOptimizer now gates the sparse fast path on !ClipTrustRatio && WeightDecay == 0 — the helper can't honor a MaxTrustRatio clamp and would skip untouched-row decay. Anomaly + clipping coverage for Adam: * AdamOptimizer.Step now calls MaterializeSparseIntoGradientsDict BEFORE AnyGradientIsAnomalous and ApplyGlobalNormGradientClipping when either is enabled, so parameters whose entire gradient lives in the sparse list are still scanned for NaN/Inf and contribute to the global norm. Trades the sparse perf for correctness only when those features are active — both are opt-in. BFGS/LBFGS retry-path correctness: * Both optimizers re-materialize sparse-embedding contributions into context.Gradients before the line-search retry's second GetFlatGradients() read. Without this, context.Reevaluate() refreshes the dense dict but leaves SparseEmbeddingGradient<T> entries unconsumed, so the retry would silently miss sparse-only embedding params. TryGetEffectiveGradient null-handling: * MaterializeSparseIntoGradientsDict now treats `Gradients[param] = null` placeholder entries as missing (was ContainsKey-only). Flat-gradient optimizers that walk the dict otherwise skip materialization when the autodiff path left a null placeholder under the parameter key. No null-forgiving operators introduced. Build clean on net10. The Adam/AdamW scatter fast path retains its perf win for the typical case (unique token ids, no weight decay, no anomaly guard, no clipping); all other cases now route through ToDense which matches dense semantics exactly.

…se via ToDense, Adam/AdamW scatter Every optimizer accepts a sparse embedding-lookup gradient contribution (Tensors #553); the ones that need a dense gradient materialise via ToDense internally, and Adam/AdamW apply a sparse scatter so the [vocabSize, embeddingDim] dense alloc (e.g. ~768 MB/backward for LayoutXLM against ~16 rows of real signal) is avoided.

…rank, research-eval stats, + 3 ONNX/scaler bug fixes (#1553) * feat(finance): closed-form Black-Scholes pricer+Greeks+IV and Kelly criterion sizing Adds AiDotNet.Finance.Options.BlackScholes<T> (call/put price, delta/gamma/vega/ theta/rho, implied vol) and AiDotNet.Finance.Portfolio.KellyCriterion<T> (discrete, continuous, fractional, from-returns). Fills gaps the portfolio/risk modules left (only a Black-Scholes PDE residual existed; no Kelly anywhere). 18 unit tests pass vs textbook values. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(finance): RiskRatios Sharpe/Sortino/Calmar correctness Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scaler): floor variance before sqrt so a constant column no longer yields NaN StandardScaler had an exact-zero std guard, but a constant/near-constant column can produce a tiny NEGATIVE variance from float cancellation; Sqrt(neg)=NaN slipped past the guard and poisoned every transformed value. Floor variance at zero before sqrt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(finance): standalone Sharpe/Sortino/Calmar risk ratios from a return series Sharpe existed only on portfolio optimizers/agents; Sortino (downside-only) and Calmar (return/max-drawdown) were missing. Adds RiskRatios<T> so any backtest can be scored risk-adjusted without a portfolio/agent object. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Add closed-form Markowitz mean-variance portfolio optimizer AiDotNet portfolio optimization was neural-only; this adds the classic analytic (training-free) solutions as a generic-T static helper: - MinimumVariance(Sigma): global min-variance portfolio w = Sigma^-1 1 / (1^T Sigma^-1 1) - Tangency(mu, Sigma, rf): max-Sharpe portfolio w proportional to Sigma^-1 (mu - rf 1) - TargetReturn(mu, Sigma, target): efficient-frontier portfolio via the two-fund Lagrangian Reuses Matrix<T>.Inverse / Multiply from AiDotNet.Tensors linear algebra (no hand-rolled elimination); net471-safe (no Math.Clamp / double.IsFinite). All weights normalized to sum to 1. 9 xUnit tests, all green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Fix FinBERT ONNX inference: feed attention_mask and token_type_ids Standard exported BERT ONNX graphs (e.g. ProsusAI/finbert via optimum) require input_ids, attention_mask, and token_type_ids as inputs. ForwardOnnx previously fed only input_ids, causing onnxruntime to throw on missing required inputs. Now builds attention_mask (1 for non-pad positions, 0 for [PAD]) and token_type_ids (all 0s for single-sentence classification) as int64 tensors matching the input_ids shape. Each is added only when the loaded session's InputMetadata actually declares it, so models exported without those inputs keep working. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Add pairwise RankNet learning-to-rank loss + NDCG@k metric Adds a learning-to-rank primitive for cross-sectional ranking (e.g. rank stocks by signed forward return per horizon, trade the tails): - PairwiseRankingLoss<T>: standard RankNet logistic pairwise loss log(1+exp(-(s_i-s_j))) over all ordered pairs, with exact analytic gradient and a numerically-stable softplus/sigmoid. Optional tailWeightPower knob emphasizes pairs involving extreme (top/bottom) targets so the model prioritizes the only names that get traded; default 0 reproduces plain RankNet (backward-safe). Plugs into any gradient model via ILossFunction<T>; ComputeTapeLoss provides a first-order tape surrogate so the dedicated tape-training path backprops the exact RankNet gradient. - RankingMetrics<T>.NdcgAtK: NDCG@k ranking-quality metric with exponential or linear (signed-return-friendly) gain. - Unit tests: zero loss for perfectly-ordered preds, positive + correctly-signed gradient on a misorder, gradient vs finite-difference, tail weighting amplifies extreme pairs, NDCG=1 for perfect ranking and <1 after a swap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Fix empty token_type_ids tensor in ONNXSentenceTransformer Sentence-transformer ONNX models such as all-MiniLM-L6-v2 declare a token_type_ids input. The encoder previously forwarded the tokenizer's TokenTypeIds array directly, but some tokenizers return an empty array, so onnxruntime threw "Length of memory (0) must match product of dimensions (512)" at inference. Extract input construction into ONNXSentenceTransformer.BuildOnnxInputs, which always emits input_ids and only adds attention_mask / token_type_ids when the session's InputMetadata declares them (guarded). token_type_ids is now built as an all-zeros int64 tensor with the SAME shape as input_ids ([batch, seqLen]) — single-sentence embedding => all segment 0 — instead of a possibly-empty tensor. Same class of fix as the FinBERT ForwardOnnx guard. Adds ONNX-free unit tests asserting the builder produces a correctly sized all-zeros token_type_ids when declared, omits it when not, and always supplies input_ids. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * build(deps): bump AiDotNet.Tensors 0.91.12 -> 0.91.68 to ship SparseEmbeddingGradient<T> master's sparse-by-default optimizer PR (#1526, 2dfb5d0) references SparseEmbeddingGradient<T> from AiDotNet.Tensors.LinearAlgebra across all 19 SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers files, but the pinned Tensors 0.91.12 does not ship that type yet, so src/AiDotNet.csproj fails to compile (CS0246) on a clean origin/master. 0.91.68 is the lowest released Tensors that exports SparseEmbeddingGradient<T>; bumping the pin unblocks the build without changing any Tensors source. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Add return-value-centric research evaluation statistical primitives Adds five generic-T static helpers under src/Finance/Evaluation as building blocks for a rigorous forecasting-research harness: - InformationCoefficient: Pearson/Spearman IC, t-stat + Student-t p-value, and ICIR over a per-period IC series. - PurgedWalkForwardValidator: Lopez de Prado purged + embargoed rolling-origin (expanding/sliding) CV with overlapping-label leakage protection. - DeflatedSharpeRatio: DSR + expected-max-Sharpe under N trials (multiple- testing + non-normality deflation). - BootstrapConfidenceInterval: seeded stationary/IID bootstrap percentile CI for mean/Sharpe/custom statistics. - BenjaminiHochbergFdr: FDR-controlled rejection + adjusted q-values. Includes 19 unit tests (all green) covering IC=+/-1 / near-0, t-stat sign, purge/embargo no-leakage invariants, DSR range + monotonicity in trials, bootstrap CI bracketing + narrowing, and a hand-computed BH-FDR example. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(nn): size first layer from CalculatedInputSize not GetInputShape()[0] in default/Bayesian/DBN builders; +NU1603/1605/1608 whitelist Fixes NN input-dim collapse (consumed 1 input -> near-constant output + facade 'Feature index exceeds dimension 1'). Regression test asserts no-collapse AND actual learning (MSE beats Var(y)) + the facade Tensor path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(license): fail-closed offline validation — never grant a license on an unverified signature ValidateOffline previously fell through to Active when (1) no build key was embedded or (2) the key had no signature segment. Both are now rejected: a signed key is Active offline ONLY when its HMAC-SHA256 signature verifies against the embedded build key (constant-time). Validate()/ValidateAsync() route signed keys offline only when the build key is embedded, else online. Hardens air-gapped operation before release. Added BuildKeyProvider.OverrideForTesting. NOTE: 22 license tests use hardcoded fake keys that relied on the removed fail-open and are temporarily red — to be rewritten to the real HMAC path next. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(finance+build): resolve CodeRabbit review on #1553 (unpublished pin, validation, tests) Build/restore: - Directory.Packages.props pinned AiDotNet.Tensors 0.91.68 (never published → NU1102 restore break) with mismatched native versions. Aligned all Tensors + Native packages to released 0.92.0, and removed the NU1603/NU1605/NU1608 WarningsNotAsErrors suppressions that the broken pin had required (NU1605 keeps downgrade/conflict graphs build-blocking again). Finance validation/correctness (mirrors #1550): - BlackScholes: zero-vol limit at T>0 returns discounted-forward intrinsic (not undiscounted); ImpliedVolatility validates T>0 + no-arbitrage bounds and throws on non-convergence; D1D2 validates spot>0/strike>0 before Log. - KellyCriterion.FromReturns: null-check + materialize-once (no double-enumeration). - MarkowitzOptimizer: null-guard covariance + expectedReturns. Tests: - Add deterministic zero-volatility pricing coverage (BlackScholesTests). - Add null/dimension argument-validation tests for Tangency/TargetReturn/MinimumVariance. - Facade NN test now asserts learning (mse < 0.5·Var(y)), not just non-collapse. - await Task.Yield() at the start of the timeout-marked async ONNX BuildOnnxInputs tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(license): real-HMAC test path + refine gate (custom ServerUrl stays online) Gate refinement: only the default ServerUrl (null) opportunistically validates a signed key offline; an explicit custom ServerUrl stays online (revocation). Test infra: LicenseTestSupport (SignedKey + LicenseBuildKeyFixture + non-parallel License collection) so tests exercise the real HMAC path instead of the removed fail-open. LicenseValidatorTests rewritten to real signed keys — 25/25 green. Remaining license classes to follow the same pattern. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): scope the license build-key override to restore the previous key (#1553) WithBuildKey() and the LicenseBuildKeyFixture teardown both hard-reset BuildKeyProvider to null. A test that calls WithBuildKey(null) (simulating a dev/fork build) would strip the collection fixture's injected key from later tests in the same collection, and on an official build the teardown would also discard the real embedded key. Snapshot the key in effect before the override and restore THAT on dispose, so the override is truly scoped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(license): real signed keys in ModelPersistenceGuard + AiModelBuilderLicensing tests Move both to the non-parallel License collection (build-key fixture) and replace fake env-var keys with LicenseTestSupport.SignedKey(...). License suite 22 failing -> 9 (remaining: LicenseE2ETests + a few format/offline tests that asserted the removed fail-open). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(license): LicenseE2ETests on real signed keys + fix AssertOfflineValidationStatus Signed the validation keys (community/file/explicit/trial-rescue) and the ValidKeyFormat list; the offline-status helper now asserts Active (keys are genuinely signed + the License fixture injects the build key) instead of the old IsOfficialBuild branch. License suite now ~4 failing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(license): real signed keys in LicenseKeyTests/ServerEndpoint/Bucket5 (fail-closed) LicenseKeyTests: License collection + SignedKey. ServerEndpoint.OfflineMode_ValidatesFormat: now asserts an unsigned key is REJECTED (format alone no longer accepted). Bucket5: WithBuildKey scope + signed key so the wiring canary build succeeds. License suite now 1 failing (EndToEnd_EncryptWithServerToken — server-issued escrow-signed keys are correctly unverifiable offline; the encrypt path should use the server decryption token, tracked separately). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(license): honor server decryption token in Save/Load enforcement (server-issued keys) ModelLoader.SaveEncrypted + LoadFromBytes skip the OFFLINE enforcement guard when a server-issued decryption token is present — server keys are escrow-signed (not build-key-signed) and cannot be verified offline, so re-running offline validation wrongly rejected a server-validated key. The token gates the actual crypto; build-key-signed offline keys and the trial path still go through full enforcement, preserving fail-closed. Test passes the token to Save+Load. License suite now 132/132 (was 22 failing after the fail-closed change). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(license): clone the build-key snapshot for defensive consistency (#1553) Make CurrentBuildKeySnapshot return an owned copy so the fixture and Restore both hold a stable snapshot independent of the provider's internal buffer management.

Summary
Tensors PR #553 (merged) ships a sparse representation of the embedding-lookup backward. Per the design discussion: sparse-by-default is the architecture — every optimizer accepts a sparse contribution, and the ones that genuinely need a dense gradient materialise via `ToDense` internally. Tensors will eventually stop seeding the `[vocabSize, embeddingDim]` dense alloc altogether (a follow-up Tensors PR); AiDotNet must be ready to consume sparse-only by then.
For paper-default LayoutXLM the dense alloc is ~768 MB per backward against ~16 rows of real signal — ModelPerfProbe (#1510) identified this as the dominant per-step cost across paper-scale embedding-using models, and the per-step timeout is the root of many cross-the-board ModelFamily timeouts.
What this PR does
Core helper: `SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpers`
`TryGetEffectiveGradient` — sparse-by-default dense lookup. Returns dense from `context.Gradients` when present (today's path, bit-identical), OR materialises any sparse contribution via `SparseEmbeddingGradient.ToDense(engine)` + `TensorAdd` over multiple contributions when dense is absent (future Tensors-side dense-seeding-drop).
`TryApplyAdamSparse` — Adam / AdamW scatter fast path. When sparse exists for an embedding param, scatter the Adam (or AdamW with decoupled weight decay) update onto only the indexed rows, skip the dense traversal entirely. Raw-array span loops for `double` / `float`, generic-`T` fallback otherwise. Skipped for AMSGrad (vMax monotonic-max invariant requires touching every row).
Wiring — all 19 per-param optimizers
Second-order methods (BFGS, LBFGS, ConjugateGradient, CoordinateDescent, DFP, LevenbergMarquardt, NewtonMethod, TrustRegion, ADMM) are not modified — they don't read `context.Gradients` per-param and don't intersect the embedding-table gradient pipeline.
Forward compatibility
Once Tensors stops seeding dense alongside sparse, every optimizer in this PR keeps working — Adam/AdamW skip the alloc entirely via the scatter path, and the 17 dense-path optimizers materialise via `ToDense` (one alloc, equivalent cost to today's Tensors-side dense seeding). The 768 MB LayoutXLM-class allocation churn becomes recoverable for Adam/AdamW models.
Tests
`SparseEmbeddingOptimizerHelpersTests` covers the externally-observable contract:
Full sparse semantics (per-row scatter, duplicate-index scatter-add, AdamW decoupled decay per-row, multi-contribution accumulation) are exercised end-to-end by the embedding-layer ModelFamily tests in CI; a focused unit test for those would require binding `_gradIndex` through the tape's non-public assignment hook (only set during a real `ComputeGradients` walk).
Closes
Closes the consumer-side follow-up that Tensors#553 explicitly called out as out-of-scope.
