PAHQ: Accelerating Automated Circuit Discovery through Mixed-Precision Inference Optimization
Xinhai Wang, Shu Yang, Liangyu Wang +4
Circuit discovery, which involves identifying sparse and task-relevant subnetworks in pre-trained language models, is a cornerstone of mechanistic interpretability. Automated Circu…
Tracing and Mitigating Hallucinations in Multimodal LLMs via Dynamic Attention Localization
Tiancheng Yang, Lin Zhang, Jiaye Lin +3
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) achieve strong performance on tasks like image captioning and visual question answering, but remain prone to hallucinations, where generate…
Mechanistic Unveiling of Transformer Circuits: Self-Influence as a Key to Model Reasoning
Lin Zhang, Lijie Hu, Di Wang
Transformer-based language models have achieved significant success; however, their internal mechanisms remain largely opaque due to the complexity of non-linear interactions and h…
EAP-GP: Mitigating Saturation Effect in Gradient-based Automated Circuit Identification
Lin Zhang, Wenshuo Dong, Zhuoran Zhang +5
Understanding the internal mechanisms of transformer-based language models remains challenging. Mechanistic interpretability based on circuit discovery aims to reverse engineer neu…
