Training Loss Plots (train_loss_[dataset].png): These plots show the training loss across different initialization methods for each dataset. The x-axis represents the number of update steps, and the y-axis shows the training loss. Each line represents a different initializatio method, allowing for easy comparison of how quickly and effectively each metho reduces the training loss over time. The shaded areas around each line represe the standard error, giving an indication of the variability across different runs. 2. Validation Loss Plots (val_loss_[dataset].png): Similar to the training loss plots, these graphs display the validation los for each initialization method across update steps. These plots are crucial fo understanding how well the model generalizes to unseen data and for detecting potential overfitting. Lower validation loss generally indicates better generalization. 3. Training Accuracy Plots (train_acc_[dataset].png): These plots illustrate the training accuracy over time for each initialization method. The x-axis shows the number of update steps, while the y-axis represents the training accuracy. These graphs help visualize how quick and accurately each method learns the training data, with higher accuracy indicating better performance on the training set. 4. Validation Accuracy Plots (val_acc_[dataset].png): These graphs show the validation accuracy over time for each initialization method. They are crucial for understanding how well the model generalizes to unseen data. Higher validation accuracy suggests better performance on new, unseen examples. The comparison between different initialization methods can reveal which approach leads to better generalization. 5. Summary Plot (summary_plot.png): This comprehensive plot compares all initialization methods across datasets for three key metrics: a. Final Training Accuracy Mean: The average final training accuracy for ea method across all datasets. b. Final Validation Accuracy Mean: The average final validation accuracy fo each method across all datasets. c. Steps to 99% Validation Accuracy Mean: The average number of steps required to reach 99% validation accuracy for each method across all datasets. This plot provides a high-level overview of the performance of each initialization method, allowing for quick comparisons across different dataset and metrics. It's particularly useful for identifying which initialization methods consistently perform well across various tasks. These plots collectively provide a comprehensive view of how different weight initialization strategies affect the learning process, generalization ability, and overall performance of the Transformer model across various arithmetic tasks. They allow for in-depth analysis of the grokking phenomenon and how it' influenced by different initialization approaches. >>>>>>> REPLACE 11317 prompt tokens, 865 completion tokens, $0.046926 cost Applied edit to notes.txt
