the effects of scale on worst-group performance
I think it’s valuable to be working in the open whenever possible, so I’m going to keep my research notes here. These notes will hopefully be full of good (and bad) ideas, so if someone borrows a good idea and publishes on it, that’s great!

This started as a group project in the neural scaling laws course at Mila in winter 2022. We presented about an existing paper and presented our preliminary results in class. The repository for this project is here.
