Causal and Interpretable Structures in LLM Compositional Tasks
Gurbir Arora, Toni J. B. Liu, Jiajun Bao +2
Large language models are able to solve tasks whose answers depend on not only individual input tokens, but also on relations among them. How is such relational information represe…
The Geometry of Ignorance: LLMs Know When to Temper Bayesian Priors
Toni J. B. Liu, Jiajun Bao, Yizhou Liu +4
What does a language model predict when it has few clues? The answer lurks in its unembedding geometry: a single direction of the unembedding matrix encodes the unigram distributio…
A Graph Signal Processing Perspective on Numerical Sequence Representations in LLM In-Context Learning
Jiajun Bao, Zihao Qi, Toni J. B. Liu +4
Pretrained large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated in-context learning (ICL) capabilities for numerical inference over sequences serialized as text. Prior work has identifie…
Jacobian Scopes: token-level causal attributions in LLMs
Toni J. B. Liu, Baran Zadeoğlu, Nicolas Boullé +3
Large language models (LLMs) make next-token predictions based on clues present in their context, such as semantic descriptions and in-context examples. Yet, elucidating which prio…
Text-Trained LLMs Can Zero-Shot Extrapolate PDE Dynamics, Revealing a Three-Stage In-Context Learning Mechanism
Jiajun Bao, Nicolas Boullé, Toni J. B. Liu +2
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated emergent in-context learning (ICL) capabilities across a range of tasks, including zero-shot time-series forecasting. We show that te…
What's in a prompt? Language models encode literary style in prompt embeddings
Raphaël Sarfati, Haley Moller, Toni J. B. Liu +2
Large language models use high-dimensional latent spaces to encode and process textual information. Much work has investigated how the conceptual content of words translates into g…
Density estimation with LLMs: a geometric investigation of in-context learning trajectories
Toni J. B. Liu, Nicolas Boullé, Raphaël Sarfati +1
Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable emergent abilities to perform in-context learning across various tasks, including time series forecasting. This work investigate…
Lines of Thought in Large Language Models
Raphaël Sarfati, Toni J. B. Liu, Nicolas Boullé +1
Large Language Models achieve next-token prediction by transporting a vectorized piece of text (prompt) across an accompanying embedding space under the action of successive transf…
LLMs learn governing principles of dynamical systems, revealing an in-context neural scaling law
Toni J. B. Liu, Nicolas Boullé, Raphaël Sarfati +1
Pretrained large language models (LLMs) are surprisingly effective at performing zero-shot tasks, including time-series forecasting. However, understanding the mechanisms behind su…
