Language Model Circuits Are Sparse in the Neuron Basis
Aryaman Arora, Zhengxuan Wu, Jacob Steinhardt +1
The high-level concepts that a neural network uses to perform computation need not be aligned to individual neurons (Smolensky, 1986). Language model interpretability research has…
ADAG: Automatically Describing Attribution Graphs
Aryaman Arora, Zhengxuan Wu, Jacob Steinhardt +1
In language model interpretability research, \textbf{circuit tracing} aims to identify which internal features causally contributed to a particular output and how they affected eac…
Predictive Concept Decoders: Training Scalable End-to-End Interpretability Assistants
Vincent Huang, Dami Choi, Daniel D. Johnson +2
Interpreting the internal activations of neural networks can produce more faithful explanations of their behavior, but is difficult due to the complex structure of activation space…
Establishing Best Practices for Building Rigorous Agentic Benchmarks
Yuxuan Zhu, Tengjun Jin, Yada Pruksachatkun +22
Benchmarks are essential for quantitatively tracking progress in AI. As AI agents become increasingly capable, researchers and practitioners have introduced agentic benchmarks to e…
The Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities
Yoshua Bengio, Tegan Maharaj, Luke Ong +84
Rapidly improving AI capabilities and autonomy hold significant promise of transformation, but are also driving vigorous debate on how to ensure that AI is safe, i.e., trustworthy,…
Eliciting Language Model Behaviors with Investigator Agents
Xiang Lisa Li, Neil Chowdhury, Daniel D. Johnson +4
Language models exhibit complex, diverse behaviors when prompted with free-form text, making it difficult to characterize the space of possible outputs. We study the problem of beh…
