Predicting the Shooting Percentage of Basketball Stars

Start with the made-shot fraction as an accuracy baseline.

Scale the two position coordinates using training data only.

Use a small nonlinear MLP to approximate the spatial success surface.

Check the exact layer count and output threshold before packaging the model.

A compliant two-feature 2 → 8 → 8 → 1 MLP reaches 0.5978 default-threshold OOF accuracy on an unlicensed community mirror; organizer hidden-test performance is unmeasured.

"""Train a constraint-compliant classifier for the NOAI China 2024 task 1.

The network receives only ``loc_x`` and ``loc_y``. Run with ``--mode validate``
to measure stratified cross-validation accuracy, or ``--mode train`` to fit all
available labeled rows and save a checkpoint for inference.
