The results show that all datasets except permutation achieved high validation accuracy (>99%). The permutation dataset still struggles to generalize, with a final validation accuracy of onl 4.5%. The MDL tracking implementation allows us to observe the relationship between MDL and validation accuracy, which will be analyzed in the next run. >>>>>>> REPLACE Now that we have implemented MDL tracking and gathered results for both ModDivisionDataset and PermutationGroup, our next step is to analyze the MDL transition points, grokking points, and the correlation between MDL reduction and improvement in validation accuracy across all datasets.

The grokking point was reached at step 4403, which is slightly later than in Run 3 but still consistent with previous observations. 3. x_plus_y: This dataset showed perfect validation accuracy (100%), improving upon Run 3. The grokking point was reached at step 2350, which is later than i Run 3 but still significantly earlier than the other datasets. 4.

The grokking point (95% accuracy) was not reached within the 7500 steps, but the improvement suggests some progress in learning. The comprehensive analysis in this run, including the new visualization techniques and analysis methods, provides deeper insights into the relationshi between MDL and grokking: 1. MDL Transition Points: The analysis of MDL transition points across dataset reveals the varying speeds at which models compress their representations of t data. 2. Correlation between MDL and Validation Accuracy: The correlation analysis helps quantify the relationship between MDL reduction and improvement in validation accuracy, potentially revealing the strength of the connection between compression and generalization. 3. MDL Evolution: Comparing the MDL evolution between grokking and non-grokkin scenarios (especially in the permutation dataset) may provide insights into th differences in learning dynamics. 4. MDL Transition Rate: The analysis of MDL transition rates offers a new perspective on the speed of compression and its potential relationship to grokking speed. 5. Generalization Gap: The examination of the generalization gap (difference between training and validation accuracy) in relation to MDL provides insights into how compression relates to a model's ability to generalize. These results and analyses contribute to our understanding of the information-theoretic perspective on sudden generalization, highlighting the complex relationship between MDL, grokking, and the learning dynamics across different types of datasets. The improved performance on the permutation dataset, while still not achieving high generalization, suggests that the relationship between MDL and grokking may be more nuanced for more complex tasks. >>>>>>> REPLACE Now that we have updated our notes with the results from Run 4, let's proceed with the next step in our analysis.

The grokking point (95% accuracy) was not reached within the 7500 steps, but the improvement suggests some progress in learning. The comprehensive analysis in this run, including the new visualization techniques and analysis methods, provides deeper insights into the relationshi between MDL and grokking: 1. MDL Transition Points: The analysis of MDL transition points across dataset reveals the varying speeds at which models compress their representations of t data. 2. Correlation between MDL and Validation Accuracy: The correlation analysis helps quantify the relationship between MDL reduction and improvement in validation accuracy, potentially revealing the strength of the connection between compression and generalization. 3. MDL Evolution: Comparing the MDL evolution between grokking and non-grokkin scenarios (especially in the permutation dataset) may provide insights into th differences in learning dynamics. 4. MDL Transition Rate: The analysis of MDL transition rates offers a new perspective on the speed of compression and its potential relationship to grokking speed. 5. Generalization Gap: The examination of the generalization gap (difference between training and validation accuracy) in relation to MDL provides insights into how compression relates to a model's ability to generalize. These results and analyses contribute to our understanding of the information-theoretic perspective on sudden generalization, highlighting the complex relationship between MDL, grokking, and the learning dynamics across different types of datasets. The improved performance on the permutation dataset, while still not achieving high generalization, suggests that the relationship between MDL and grokking may be more nuanced for more complex tasks. >>>>>>> REPLACE Now that we have updated our notes with the results from Run 4, let's proceed with the next step in our analysis.

The grokking point (95% validation accuracy) was reached earlier at step 3983, showing faster learning compared to Run 3. 2. x_minus_y: Performance remained excellent, with near-perfect validation accuracy (99.98%). The grokking point was reached at step 4403, which is slightly later than in Run 3 but still consistent with previous observations. 3. x_plus_y: This dataset showed perfect validation accuracy (100%), improving upon Run 3. The grokking point was reached at step 2350, which is later than in Run 3 but still significantly earlier than the other datasets. 4. Permutation: This dataset showed a notable improvement in validation accuracy (33.93%) compared to previous runs, although it still struggles with generalization. The grokking point (95% accuracy) was not reached within the 7500 steps, but the improvement suggests some progress in learning. The comprehensive analysis in this run, including the new visualization techniques and analysis methods, provides deeper insights into the relationship between MDL and grokking: 1. MDL Transition Points: The analysis of MDL transition points across datasets reveals the varying speeds at which models compress their representations of the data. 2. Correlation between MDL and Validation Accuracy: The correlation analysis helps quantify the relationship between MDL reduction and improvement in validation accuracy, potentially revealing the strength of the connection between compression and generalization. 3. MDL Evolution: Comparing the MDL evolution between grokking and non-grokking scenarios (especially in the permutation dataset) may provide insights into the differences in learning dynamics. 4. MDL Transition Rate: The analysis of MDL transition rates offers a new perspective on the speed of compression and its potential relationship to grokking speed. 5. Generalization Gap: The examination of the generalization gap (difference between training and validation accuracy) in relation to MDL provides insights into how compression relates to a model's ability to generalize. These results and analyses contribute to our understanding of the information-theoretic perspective on sudden generalization, highlighting the complex relationship between MDL, grokking, and the learning dynamics across different types of datasets. The improved performance on the permutation dataset, while still not achieving high generalization, suggests that the relationship between MDL and grokking may be more nuanced for more complex tasks. >>>>>>> REPLACE ``` Now that we have updated our notes with the results from Run 4, let's proceed with the next step in our analysis. We'll focus on a more in-depth examination of the MDL transition rates and their relationship to grokking speed across all datasets. This will help us better understand the dynamics of compression and generalization.

The improved performance on the permutation dataset, while still not achieving high generalization, suggests that the relationship between MDL and grokking may be more nuanced for more complex tasks. Plot Descriptions: 1. Training Loss Plots (train_loss_{dataset}.png): These plots show the training loss over time for each dataset. They help visualize how quickly and effectively the model learns to fit the training dat A decreasing trend indicates improved performance on the training set. 2. Validation Loss Plots (val_loss_{dataset}.png): Similar to the training loss plots, these show the validation loss over time. They help identify overfitting (if validation loss increases while training lo decreases) and assess the model's generalization capabilities. 3. Training Accuracy Plots (train_acc_{dataset}.png): These plots display the training accuracy over time, showing how well the mode performs on the training data. An increasing trend indicates improved performance. 4. Validation Accuracy Plots (val_acc_{dataset}.png): These plots show the validation accuracy over time, indicating how well the model generalizes to unseen data. The point where the validation accuracy reaches 95% is considered the "grokking point". 5. Validation Accuracy and MDL Plots (val_acc_mdl_{dataset}.png): These plots combine validation accuracy and normalized MDL estimates over time They help visualize the relationship between model compression (MDL reduction) and improved generalization (increased validation accuracy). 6. MDL Transition vs Grokking Point Scatter Plot (mdl_transition_vs_grokking_scatter.png): This scatter plot compares the MDL transition point (steepest decrease in MDL) with the grokking point (95% validation accuracy) for all datasets and runs. I helps identify any correlation between these two events, potentially revealing insights into the relationship between compression and generalization. 7. MDL-Validation Accuracy Correlation Plot (mdl_val_acc_correlation.png): This bar plot shows the correlation between MDL reduction and validation accuracy improvement for each dataset. Higher correlation values suggest a stronger link between compression and generalization. 8. MDL Evolution and Generalization Gap Plots (mdl_gen_gap_{dataset}.png): These plots show the MDL evolution and generalization gap (difference between training and validation accuracy) over time for each dataset. They help visualize how compression relates to the model's ability to generalize. 9. MDL Transition Rate Plots (mdl_transition_rate_{dataset}.png): These plots display the rate of change in MDL over time for each dataset. They provide insights into the speed of compression and how it might relate to the learning dynamics. 10. MDL Transition Rate vs Grokking Speed Plot (mdl_transition_rate_vs_grokking_speed.png): This scatter plot compares the MDL transition rate (minimum gradient of MDL) with the grokking speed (inverse of the difference between grokking point and MDL transition point) for all datasets and runs. It helps identify any relationship between the speed of compression and the speed of grokking. 11. MDL Evolution and Validation Accuracy Plots (mdl_val_acc_evolution_{dataset}.png): These plots combine MDL evolution and validation accuracy over time for each dataset, including markers for the MDL transition point and grokking point. Th provide a comprehensive view of the relationship between compression, generalization, and key learning events. These plots collectively offer a multi-faceted view of the learning dynamics, compression, and generalization processes across different datasets and experimental runs. They help in understanding the complex interplay between Minimal Description Length (MDL) and grokking, providing valuable insights int the information-theoretic perspective on sudden generalization in neural networks. >>>>>>> REPLACE This modification adds detailed descriptions of each plot, including their filenames and what they represent.
