Reprioritize Modify Data generation to include Object Recursion, no Subject Recursion Modify data generation to include depth generalization/random samples Add Weight Decay and test for grokking generalization Shrink model size Visualize the cosine similarity of token embeddings of terminals as a heatmap Modify heatmap visualization to be the same order/shifted by one Add visualization with arcs Patching experiment TBD
