A new audit tool has been developed to analyze the grokking phenomenon in neural networks, specifically examining how representations compress after generalization. The tool reveals that for modular arithmetic tasks, embedding compression can continue for tens of thousands of steps post-generalization, significantly overstating converged values. The research indicates that adding LayerNorm to transformers can reduce the extent of compression during the grokking phase. AI
