In-context Learning and Induction Heads
Catherine Olsson, Nelson Elhage, Neel Nanda +23
"Induction heads" are attention heads that implement a simple algorithm to complete token sequences like [A][B] ... [A] -> [B]. In this work, we present preliminary and indirect ev…
Toy Models of Superposition
Nelson Elhage, Tristan Hume, Catherine Olsson +13
Neural networks often pack many unrelated concepts into a single neuron - a puzzling phenomenon known as 'polysemanticity' which makes interpretability much more challenging. This…
Scaling Laws and Interpretability of Learning from Repeated Data
Danny Hernandez, Tom Brown, Tom Conerly +15
Recent large language models have been trained on vast datasets, but also often on repeated data, either intentionally for the purpose of upweighting higher quality data, or uninte…
Evaluating Large Language Models Trained on Code
Mark Chen, Jerry Tworek, Heewoo Jun +55
We introduce Codex, a GPT language model fine-tuned on publicly available code from GitHub, and study its Python code-writing capabilities. A distinct production version of Codex p…
