2026/01 - Brainstorming How to Demonstrate Benefits of Compositional Models

The team discusses how we should communicate our work on compositional models. We try to answer whether we should publish a paper on this topic or focus our time more on further development of Monty. We also discuss potential figures that would showcase the main advantages of learning compositional models.
