A Reber sequence is a grammar string made of finite states, in simple words, formed by using a confined set of characters. In the research paper that proposed the [LSTM](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1162/neco.1997.9.8.1735), the authors use embedded Reber grammar due to its short time lags.

[Here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/harshildarji/Reber-Grammar/blob/main/dataset.pdf) is the chapter from my Master's thesis that briefly explains the dataset, and also includes various plots about its statistics.
