The Curse of Multiple Mediators: Hidden Interaction Effects in Activation Patching
Sankaran Vaidyanathan, David Arbour, Aaron Mueller +2
Activation patching is the primary tool in mechanistic interpretability. It attributes causal responsibility for a model behavior to each of its individual components by estimating…
Adaptive Circuit Behavior and Generalization in Mechanistic Interpretability
Jatin Nainani, Sankaran Vaidyanathan, AJ Yeung +2
Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand the inner workings of large neural networks by identifying circuits, or minimal subgraphs within the model that implement algorithms…
Automated Discovery of Functional Actual Causes in Complex Environments
Caleb Chuck, Sankaran Vaidyanathan, Stephen Giguere +3
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms often struggle to learn policies that generalize to novel situations due to issues such as causal confusion, overfitting to irrelevant factor…
