Claude Code transcript - page 3/3

Coming back to this, could you prep a github repo for this (if we haven't done it already). Make sure no secrets are leaked and also remove machine specific paths etc where possible?

Also include an appropriate licence. Any clarification questions LMK

Good timing for a publish step. No repo exists for these two projects yet. Before building it, let me gather the facts: your git identity constraints (from my notes), what tooling is available, and every machine-specific path or potential secret in the two project trees.

# Autonomous ML research: two riffs on Adam Santoro's papers

An experiment in AI-conducted ML research (July 2026): Claude (Fable 5,
running in Claude Code) was challenged to pick research questions, implement
and run the experiments, and write up the results **autonomously**, on a
desktop CPU plus a modest LLM-API budget, with human involvement limited to
direction-setting and budget approval. Both projects riff on papers by
[Adam Santoro](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=evIkDWoAAAAJ).
Ground rules included: negative results welcome, no hallucinated claims, and
an adversarial AI review pass before anything counts as done.

**šŸ“„ Start with the writeups:**

| project | question | writeup |
|---|---|---|
| [`relational_sparsity/`](relational_sparsity/) | Do Relation Networks (Santoro et al. 2017) need all n² object pairs? What does *learned* pair-sparsity do to compositional generalization? | [WRITEUP.md](relational_sparsity/WRITEUP.md) |
| [`shape_bias/`](shape_bias/) | Does the developmental-psychology shape bias (Ritter, Barrett, Santoro & Botvinick 2017) appear in LLM word-learning, and is it overridable in context? | [WRITEUP.md](shape_bias/WRITEUP.md) |

Headline results: a hand-coded sparse "oracle" (6 of 36 pairs) *beats* the
full Relation Network on compositional generalization, but a learned
selector — which matches the full RN in-distribution at a third of the
compute — becomes the out-of-distribution bottleneck, at some k performing
worse than random selection. And all three Claude models tested show a
human-like shape bias in text-based word learning (order-controlled), with
model-specific character: Opus 4.8's is strongest and partly
mention-order-modulated, and demonstrations override the default
asymmetrically (texture rules: easily; color rules: barely).

## The review process (read this if you read nothing else)

Each project contains a **`REVIEW.md`** preserving, verbatim, two adversarial
review passes by an independent fresh-context AI reviewer. The first pass
caught a **critical response-parsing bug** that had corrupted 29% of one
model's probe trials — and on which a confident, plausible, wrong conclusion
had already been written. The repair (strict parser, full re-parse, 290
re-collected trials) and a second verification pass (every number re-checked,
zero errors found) are documented there and in the writeups' provenance
sections. As a datapoint on AI research autonomy, that failure-and-catch is
arguably the most instructive artifact in the repo.

## Reproducing

Each subdirectory is self-contained with its own README/DESIGN doc:

- `relational_sparsity/`: pure PyTorch on CPU (~6 h total for all 39 runs).
  The generated dataset (`data/*.npz`, deterministic seed) and all run
  metrics (`runs/*/result.json`) are included; model checkpoints are not.
- `shape_bias/`: calls the Anthropic API (~$6 at July-2026 prices; exact
  per-trial token counts included). The complete trial set
  (`trials.jsonl`) and all raw responses (`results.csv`, plus the
  superseded pre-repair data for auditability) are included, so all
  analyses reproduce without any API calls.

## Provenance & authorship

Code, experiments, analyses, writeups, and reviews were produced by Claude
(Fable 5 / subagents); David P. Reichert set the challenge, approved
direction and budgets, and audited the process. Written disclosures of the
few places prior-project knowledge influenced the work are in each writeup.

worktree clean check done

The repo is ready at D:\claude_code\autonomous-ml-research — one clean commit, 151 files, 4.1 MB. Summary of what I did and the decisions I made:

Sanitization (verified by re-scanning the final tree): - No secrets anywhere — the API key never lived in these directories; run_probe.py now reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or a gitignored local .anthropic_key instead of reaching into the riddle project's folder. - Machine paths removed from code and READMEs (run_sweep.py now uses whatever Python launches it; requirements described generically). The REVIEW.md files were already path-free, so the verbatim review record is untouched. - Excluded: model checkpoints (37 MB, regenerable) and one redundant backup file. Included: the generated dataset (2 MB, for exact reproducibility), all run metrics, all raw API responses including the superseded pre-repair data, figures, writeups, and both review logs. - Verified self-contained: both analyze.py scripts run inside the repo copy and reproduce the published numbers.

Decisions I made (flag if you'd like different): - One repo for both experiments rather than two — they share the story, the review process, and a top-level README that frames the autonomous-research exercise (with authorship disclosure). Suggested name: autonomous-ml-research. - MIT license with you as copyright holder, matching your previous repos — trivially changeable before pushing. - Commit identity is your global noreply address (already configured), so no email-privacy rejections.

One thing only you can do: create the empty repo on GitHub (github.com/new under davidpreichert, no README/license — the repo brings its own; private or public, your call). Tell me the name you chose and I'll add the remote and push. Your originals in D:\claude_code\relational_sparsity and shape_bias are untouched working copies (aside from the path-hygiene fixes, which apply there too).

Done. Quick summary of what's now public (or private, depending on what you chose):

  • Repo: davidpreichert/relational_sparsity_and_llm_shape_bias, single clean commit cdaf690 on main, authored with your noreply identity.
  • Contents: top-level README framing the exercise, MIT license, both experiments with code, data, raw results (including the pre-repair data for auditability), figures, writeups, and the verbatim review logs.
  • Worth a skim before sharing the link around: the top-level README.md is the one file you haven't seen yet — it's the public-facing framing of the whole exercise, including the authorship disclosure and a paragraph highlighting the review-caught bug as the most instructive artifact. If you'd like any of that toned up or down, it's a one-file edit and re-push.

That wraps the full arc: idea → experiments → review → repair → publication, for $5.19 in API spend and an afternoon of your CPU.
