Researchers are proposing a project to build a toy language using known computational primitives like induction heads and skip-trigrams. This controlled environment will allow for the study of fundamental transformer model problems, such as suppression, error correction, and compositionality. By training tensor-transformers on this language, the team aims to develop better mechanistic interpretability tools and gain insights applicable to real-world large language models. AI
