Scoring¶
Scoring turns a trained model into per-timeline outcome predictions. Cotorra
offers two complementary approaches, both driven by a scoring.yaml
configuration and both operating on the held-out split: generation-based scoring,
which lets the model simulate the future directly, and representation-based
scoring, which fits a classifier on extracted features. In each case the
target_tokens glob patterns in the configuration select which vocabulary tokens
count as outcomes of interest.
GenerativeScorer¶
GenerativeScorer predicts outcomes by generating them. Using the
quick_sco_re implementation of the
SCORE and REACH algorithms, it autoregressively samples many possible
continuations of each timeline and estimates the probability that a target
outcome token occurs. For every outcome it reports three Monte-Carlo estimates —
a raw occurrence score (mc), a SCOPE score, and a REACH score — computed only
for subjects who have not already experienced the outcome. Generation runs
asynchronously in batches and the scores are written to a parquet file.

RepBasedScorer¶
RepBasedScorer predicts outcomes from the representations dumped by the
Extractor. It loads the extracted feature vectors
for the train, tuning, and held-out splits, fits a supervised classifier per
outcome token to predict whether that outcome occurs, and writes the held-out
predicted probabilities to a parquet file. The classifier family is chosen with
EstimatorType; it errors with a helpful message if the
features are missing, prompting you to run cotorra extract first.

EstimatorType¶
EstimatorType enumerates the classifier families available to
RepBasedScorer: k-nearest-neighbors, LightGBM (the default),
XGBoost, and several logistic-regression variants (plain, standardized/z-scored,
and cross-validated). It exists so the choice of estimator can be passed as a
plain string on the CLI or in configuration.
