Sparse Autoencoders for Mechanistic Interpretability in NLP: A Critical Survey of Recoverability, Interpretability, and Utility

Salima Lamsiyah, Adelaide Danilov, Oleksandr Marchenko Breneur +1

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising approach to mechanistic interpretability by decomposing language-model activations into sparse, potentially interpretable fea…

RECTIFY: An Interactive Workbench for Post-Evaluation RAG Diagnosis, Repair, and Verification

Keerthana Murugaraj, Salima Lamsiyah, Martin Theobald

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) evaluators can identify failures such as weak retrieval, poor grounding, incomplete answers, and unsupported generation, but they rarely help d…

"Many Are My Names": The Anatomy of the Assistant and Its Personas via Sparse Autoencoders

Adelaide Danilov, Aria Nourbakhsh, Oleksandr Marchenko Breneur +1

How a language model internally represents who is speaking, the Assistant, an assigned roleplay persona, or a narrated story character, remains underexplored. We study speaker repr…

Why Current XAI Is Not Enough for Arabic NLP: A Critical Survey of the Explainability Gap

Salima Lamsiyah, Ruslan Mitkov

Explainable AI (XAI) is now a major theme in NLP; however, Arabic NLP remains under-explained in three connected senses. First, there is a method gap: Arabic XAI relies heavily on…

AEyeDE: An Attention-Based Attribution Framework for AI-Generated Text Detection

Aria Nourbakhsh, Adelaide Danilov, Christoph Schommer +1

Detecting AI-generated text is becoming increasingly challenging as modern language models approach human-level fluency and can evade detectors that rely on surface statistics or l…

CSULoRA: Closest Safe Update Low-Rank Adaptation

Oleksandr Marchenko Breneur, Adelaide Danilov, Aria Nourbakhsh +1

Low-rank adaptation has become a standard method for parameter-efficient fine-tuning of large language models, but even small amounts of unsafe or adversarial fine-tuning data can…

Evaluating Explainable AI Attribution Methods in Neural Machine Translation via Attention-Guided Knowledge Distillation

Aria Nourbakhsh, Salima Lamsiyah, Adelaide Danilov +1

The study of the attribution of input features to the output of neural network models is an active area of research. While numerous Explainable AI (XAI) techniques have been propos…

NOTAI.AI: Explainable Detection of Machine-Generated Text via Curvature and Feature Attribution

Oleksandr Marchenko Breneur, Adelaide Danilov, Aria Nourbakhsh +1

We present NotAI.AI, an explainable AI-generated text detection system. Instead of returning only a binary label or confidence score, the system shows which signals influenced the…
