Also notice: it has the MLP in the middle, the performance of which was/is not really helping either - especially if your model should actually produce novel stuff, e.g. extrapolate. Finally: every kid can draw up novel structures. Then: how do you actually…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2102.04229/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
