Erasing Conceptual Knowledge from Language Models
Rohit Gandikota, Sheridan Feucht, Samuel Marks +1
In this work, we introduce Erasure of Language Memory (ELM), a principled approach to concept-level unlearning that operates by matching distributions defined by the model's own in…
The Quest for the Right Mediator: Surveying Mechanistic Interpretability Through the Lens of Causal Mediation Analysis
Aaron Mueller, Jannik Brinkmann, Millicent Li +10
Interpretability provides a toolset for understanding how and why neural networks behave in certain ways. However, there is little unity in the field: most studies employ ad-hoc ev…
Measuring Progress in Dictionary Learning for Language Model Interpretability with Board Game Models
Adam Karvonen, Benjamin Wright, Can Rager +6
What latent features are encoded in language model (LM) representations? Recent work on training sparse autoencoders (SAEs) to disentangle interpretable features in LM representati…
Sparse Feature Circuits: Discovering and Editing Interpretable Causal Graphs in Language Models
Samuel Marks, Can Rager, Eric J. Michaud +3
We introduce methods for discovering and applying sparse feature circuits. These are causally implicated subnetworks of human-interpretable features for explaining language model b…
Fine-Tuning Enhances Existing Mechanisms: A Case Study on Entity Tracking
Nikhil Prakash, Tamar Rott Shaham, Tal Haklay +2
Fine-tuning on generalized tasks such as instruction following, code generation, and mathematics has been shown to enhance language models' performance on a range of tasks. Neverth…
