🧠 Model Summary

arc_grid_relational-model is a grid-relational transformer designed for the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) tasks.
It learns to predict output grids from input grids by combining local convolutional encoding with global relational self-attention, allowing reasoning over both spatial and relational features.

Architecture Overview

• Encoder: Two convolutional layers with GELU + normalization
• Projection: 1×1 convolution to per-cell embedding vectors
• Relational Transformer: Multi-layer self-attention over flattened grid cells
• Readout Head: MLP → color logits per cell
• Loss: Masked Sparse Categorical Cross-Entropy
• Metric: Masked Accuracy (ignores padded cells)

This design aims to encourage pattern discovery and relational reasoning in a grid-based environment similar to the ARC benchmark.

🚀 Intended Use

Use Cases

• Research on visual reasoning and combinatorial generalization
• Exploring relational inductive biases in neural architectures
• As a base encoder for hybrid symbolic–neural ARC solvers

Limitations

• Not fine-tuned for every ARC task — generalization is limited
• Does not perform explicit symbolic reasoning or program induction
• May fail on tasks requiring hierarchical or multi-step reasoning
• Sensitive to grid size beyond the training maximum

📊 Training Details

Model Hyperparameters

Evaluation Metric

• Masked Accuracy: Average per-cell correctness ignoring -1 (padding mask)
• (Optionally) full-grid exact match rate for reasoning-level validation

🧪 Example Usage

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

model = tf.keras.models.load_model("path/to/arc_grid_relational_model")

# Example input grid (integer colors)
inp_grid = np.array([
    [1, 1, 0],
    [0, 2, 2],
    [0, 0, 0]
], dtype=np.int32)

# Pad + one-hot encode
H, W = inp_grid.shape
H_max, W_max = 30, 30   # example maximum grid size used during training
num_colors = 10

padded = np.zeros((H_max, W_max), dtype=np.int32)
padded[:H, :W] = inp_grid
x = tf.one_hot(padded, depth=num_colors)
logits = model(x[None, ...])
pred = tf.argmax(logits, axis=-1)[0][:H, :W].numpy()

print(pred)
