ClusterFewshot: Improving Few-shot Optimization for LLMs workflow

Omri Bar Haim, Shahar Katz, Lior Wolf

The performance of large language model (LLM) workflows often depends on selecting a small set of in-context demonstrations to guide model behavior on new tasks. Recent methods imp…

Detecting and Pruning Prominent but Detrimental Neurons in Large Language Models

Ameen Ali, Shahar Katz, Lior Wolf +1

Large language models (LLMs) often develop learned mechanisms specialized to specific datasets, such as reliance on domain-specific correlations, which yield high-confidence predic…

Execution Guided Line-by-Line Code Generation

Boaz Lavon, Shahar Katz, Lior Wolf

We present a novel approach to neural code generation that incorporates real-time execution signals into the language model generation process. While large language models (LLMs) h…

Segment-Based Attention Masking for GPTs

Shahar Katz, Liran Ringel, Yaniv Romano +1

Modern Language Models (LMs) owe much of their success to masked causal attention, the backbone of Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) models. Although GPTs can process the en…

Reversed Attention: On The Gradient Descent Of Attention Layers In GPT

Shahar Katz, Lior Wolf

The success of Transformer-based Language Models (LMs) stems from their attention mechanism. While this mechanism has been extensively studied in explainability research, particula…

Backward Lens: Projecting Language Model Gradients into the Vocabulary Space

Shahar Katz, Yonatan Belinkov, Mor Geva +1

Understanding how Transformer-based Language Models (LMs) learn and recall information is a key goal of the deep learning community. Recent interpretability methods project weights…

VISIT: Visualizing and Interpreting the Semantic Information Flow of Transformers

Shahar Katz, Yonatan Belinkov

Recent advances in interpretability suggest we can project weights and hidden states of transformer-based language models (LMs) to their vocabulary, a transformation that makes the…
