Don't Go Breaking My LLM: The Impact of Pruning Attention Layers on Explanation Faithfulness and Confidence Calibration

Pietro Tropeano, Maria Maistro, Tuukka Ruotsalo +1

Pruning Large Language Models (LLMs) reduces memory and inference costs by removing parts of the network, producing smaller models that retain most of their accuracy. As attention…

How Context Shapes Truth: Geometric Transformations of Statement-level Truth Representations in LLMs

Shivam Adarsh, Maria Maistro, Christina Lioma

Large Language Models (LLMs) often encode whether a statement is true as a vector in their residual stream activations. These vectors, also known as truth vectors, have been studie…
