Comment on A.I. groks 66%-76% faster with data augmentation strategies.

  I read the abstract, and the connection to your title is a mystery. Are you using “grock” as in “transcendental understanding” or as Musk’s branded AI?

    No c, just grok, originally from Stranger in a Strange Land. But a more technical definition is provided and expanded upon in the paper. Mystery easily dispelled!

      In that case I refer you to u/catloaf 's post. A machine cannot grock, not at any speed.

      Thanks for clarifying, now please refer to the poster’s original statement:

      AI doesn’t grok anything. It doesn’t have any capability of understanding at all. It’s a Markov chain on steroids.

        We follow the classic experimental paradigm reported in Power et al. (2022) for analyzing “grokking”, a poorly understood phenomenon in which validation accuracy dramatically improves long after the train loss saturates. Unlike the previous templates, this one is more amenable to open-ended empirical analysis (e.g. what conditions grokking occurs) rather than just trying to improve performance metrics
