When Do Model Internals Help? Exploring the Role of Representation Engineering in LLM Safety

Tianyi Guan, Jianhui Chen, Liangming Pan

Reliable AI safeguards require both control mechanisms that reduce unsafe behavior and monitoring mechanisms that detect safety risks during model interactions. Established behavio…

From Reweighting to Rewriting: Unlocking the Intervention Effects of Influential Samples in Training Data Attribution

Yuzhang Luo, Chenpeng Wang, Jianhui Chen +1

Training data attribution (TDA) aims to identify training examples that shape model behavior, but its intervention value depends on both which examples are selected and how they ar…

Wrong Prediction, Right Answer: Recovering Evidence from Collapsed LLM Sequence Scores

Qiyao Yan, Chenpeng Wang, Liangming Pan

When a large language model fails a reasoning task, it is often assumed to lack the underlying capability. However, this conflates a genuine absence of reasoning with a late-stage…

Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Large Reasoning Models: A Survey of Training, Inference, and Failures

Yi Hu, Jiaqi Gu, Ruxin Wang +6

Reinforcement learning (RL) has catalyzed the emergence of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) that have pushed reasoning capabilities to new heights. While their performance has garnere…

Mechanistic Data Attribution: Tracing the Training Origins of Interpretable LLM Units

Jianhui Chen, Yuzhang Luo, Liangming Pan

While Mechanistic Interpretability has identified interpretable circuits in LLMs, their causal origins in training data remain elusive. We introduce Mechanistic Data Attribution (M…
