4 years agoDo not use lazy evaluation inside NNUE
Stéphane Nicolet [Wed, 26 May 2021 23:10:00 +0000]
Do not use lazy evaluation inside NNUE

This simplification patch implements two changes:

1. it simplifies away the so-called "lazy" path in the NNUE evaluation internals,
   where we trusted the psqt head alone to avoid the costly "positional" head in
   some cases;
2. it raises a little bit the NNUEThreshold1 in evaluate.cpp (from 682 to 800),
   which increases the limit where we switched from NNUE eval to Classical eval.

Both effects increase the number of positional evaluations done by our new net
architecture, but the results of our tests below seem to indicate that the loss
of speed will be compensated by the gain of eval quality.

Stéphane Nicolet [Sat, 22 May 2021 17:44:15 +0000]
Sometimes change the (materialist, positional) balance

Our new nets output two values for the side to move in the last layer.
We can interpret the first value as a material evaluation of the
position, and the second one as the dynamic, positional value of the
location of pieces.

This patch changes the balance for the (materialist, positional) parts
of the score from (128, 128) to (121, 135) when the piece material is
equal between the two players, but keeps the standard (128, 128) balance
when one player is at least an exchange up.

4 years agoRemove Tempo
Stéphane Nicolet [Tue, 18 May 2021 23:24:51 +0000]
Remove Tempo

The Tempo variable was introduced 10 years ago in our search because the
classical evaluation function was antisymmetrical in White and Black by design
to gain speed:

    Eval(White to play) = -Eval(Black to play)

Nowadays our neural networks know which side is to play in a position when
they evaluate a position and are trained on real games, so the neural network
encodes the advantage of moving as an output of search. This patch shows that
the Tempo variable is not necessary anymore.

https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60a4eebcce8ea25a3ef03db5

Note: there are two locations left in search.cpp where we assume antisymmetry
of evaluation (in relation with a speed optimization for null moves in lines
770 and 1439), but as the values are just used for heuristic pruning this
approximation should not hurt too much because the order of magnitude is still
true most of the time.

This patch increases lmrDepth threshold for continuation history based pruning in search.
This part of code for a long time was known to be really TC sensitive - decreasing
this threshold easily passed lower time controls but failed badly at LTC,
on the other hand it increase was part of a tuning that resulted
in being negative at STC but was +12 elo at 180+1.8.

After recent simplification of special conditions that sometimes
increase it from 4 to 5 it was logical to overall test at longer
time controls if 5 is better than 4 with deeper searches.

This network also contains a few architectural changes with respect to the current master:

    Size changed from 256x2-32-32-1 to 512x2-16-32-1
        ~15-20% slower
        ~2x larger
        adds a special path for 16 valued ClippedReLU
        fixes affine transform code for 16 inputs/outputs, buy using InputDimensions instead of PaddedInputDimensions
            this is safe now because the inputs are processed in groups of 4 in the current affine transform code
    The feature set changed from HalfKP to HalfKAv2
        Includes information about the kings like HalfKA
        Packs king features better, resulting in 8% size reduction compared to HalfKA
    The board is flipped for the black's perspective, instead of rotated like in the current master
    PSQT values for each feature
        the feature transformer now outputs a part that is fowarded directly to the output and allows learning piece values more directly than the previous network architecture. The effect is visible for high imbalance positions, where the current master network outputs evaluations skewed towards zero.
        8 PSQT values per feature, chosen based on (popcount(pos.pieces()) - 1) / 4
        initialized to classical material values on the start of the training
    8 subnetworks (512x2->16->32->1), chosen based on (popcount(pos.pieces()) - 1) / 4
        only one subnetwork is evaluated for any position, no or marginal speed loss

4 years agoExporting the currently loaded network file
Tomasz Sobczyk [Fri, 7 May 2021 10:24:12 +0000]
Exporting the currently loaded network file

This PR adds an ability to export any currently loaded network.
The export_net command now takes an optional filename parameter.
If the loaded net is not the embedded net the filename parameter is required.

Two changes were required to support this:

* the "architecture" string, which is really just a some kind of description in the net, is now saved into netDescription on load and correctly saved on export.
* the AffineTransform scrambles weights for some architectures and sparsifies them, such that retrieving the index is hard. This is solved by having a temporary scrambled<->unscrambled index lookup table when loading the network, and the actual index is saved for each individual weight that makes it to canSaturate16. This increases the size of the canSaturate16 entries by 6 bytes.

xoto10 [Sat, 24 Apr 2021 13:46:01 +0000]
Change tempo with time and threads

Introduce variable tempo for nnue depending on logarithm of estimated
strength, where strength is the product of time and number of threads.

The original idea here was that NNUE is best with a slightly different
tempo value to classical, since its style of play is slightly different.
It turns out that the best tempo for NNUE varies with strength of play,
so a formula is used which gives about 19 for STC and 24 for LTC under
current fishtest settings.
