Fix hyperparameter_tuning memory crashes: auto-reduce trials for large datasets

Browse files

CRITICAL BUG FIXES:

1. MEMORY CRASH PREVENTION:
- Large datasets (>100K rows): Reduce n_trials from 50 to 20 automatically
- Medium datasets (>50K rows): Reduce n_trials from 50 to 30 automatically
- Prevents Hugging Face Spaces timeout/OOM on earthquake dataset (175K rows)

2. UPDATED DOCUMENTATION:
- Added warning in hyperparameter_tuning() docstring: 'VERY expensive, 5-10 minutes'
- Added warning in orchestrator workflow step 11
- Clarified that n_trials auto-reduces for large datasets

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS:
- Earthquake dataset: 175,947 rows
- hyperparameter_tuning with 50 trials + 5-fold CV = 250 model training runs
- XGBoost on 175K rows 250 = memory exhaustion
- Hugging Face Spaces killed the container mid-execution
- User saw: 'Executing: hyperparameter_tuning' then crash (no SSE events)

EVIDENCE FROM LOGS:
- Log shows: 'Executing: hyperparameter_tuning'
- Then: '[I 2026-01-02 09:11:01,535] A new study created in memory'
- Then: SILENCE (container killed)
- New startup log shows fresh boot (crash recovery)

WORKFLOW ISSUE (SEPARATE):
- SSE stream cancelled (user refreshed page)
- New workflow started while old hyperparameter_tuning still running in background
- TWO SIMULTANEOUS WORKFLOWS competing for memory
- This doubled the memory pressure

SOLUTION:
Auto-reduce trials based on dataset size BEFORE starting Optuna:
- 175K rows 20 trials instead of 50 (60% reduction)
- Still gets good hyperparameters but prevents crash
- User can manually specify n_trials=50 if they have more resources
