NeuronScope: A Multi-Agent Framework for Explaining Polysemantic Neurons in Language Models

Weiqi Liu, Yongliang Miao, Haiyan Zhao +2

Neuron-level interpretation in large language models (LLMs) is fundamentally challenged by widespread polysemanticity, where individual neurons respond to multiple distinct semanti…

LogitTrace: Detecting Benchmark Contamination via Layerwise Logit Trajectories

Zirui He, Haiyan Zhao, Yingcong Li +2

Large language models (LLMs) are commonly evaluated on challenging benchmarks such as AIME and Math500, where benchmark contamination can make memorized solutions appear as genuine…

Denoising Concept Vectors with Sparse Autoencoders for Improved Language Model Steering

Haiyan Zhao, Xuansheng Wu, Fan Yang +3

Linear concept vectors effectively steer LLMs, but existing methods suffer from noisy features in diverse datasets that undermine steering robustness. We propose Sparse Autoencoder…

Mitigating Shortcuts in Language Models with Soft Label Encoding

Zirui He, Huiqi Deng, Haiyan Zhao +2

Recent research has shown that large language models rely on spurious correlations in the data for natural language understanding (NLU) tasks. In this work, we aim to answer the fo…
