**Working title:** When Does a Small Language Model Need QK-Norm? An Isolated
Learning-Rate Characterization of Query–Key Normalization at <100M Parameters
Organised copy of the project, made 28/10/2026. Everything here is a **copy** — the
originals are still in the parent folder, and the CS6513 git repo
Organised copy of the project, made 28/10/2026, and tracked in its own git repo (no remote yet).
The originals are still in the parent folder, and the CS6513 git repo
(`../Research Project/`, github.com/NikScorch/MSc_Research_Project) is untouched.
This folder is not a git repo yet.
Not in git (see `.gitignore`): the pitch video (52 MB), `05-course-materials/`, datasets,
checkpoints, the API cache and the AI-assisted `ref_draft`.
