The Obfuscation Atlas: Mapping Where Honesty Emerges in RLVR with Deception Probes
Mohammad Taufeeque, Stefan Heimersheim, Adam Gleave +1
Training against white-box deception detectors has been proposed as a way to make AI systems honest. However, such training risks models learning to obfuscate their deception to ev…

Path Channels and Plan Extension Kernels: a Mechanistic Description of Planning in a Sokoban RNN
Mohammad Taufeeque, Aaron David Tucker, Adam Gleave +1
We partially reverse-engineer a convolutional recurrent neural network (RNN) trained with model-free reinforcement learning to play the box-pushing game Sokoban. We find that the R…

Planning in a recurrent neural network that plays Sokoban
Mohammad Taufeeque, Philip Quirke, Maximilian Li +4
Planning is essential for solving complex tasks, yet the internal mechanisms underlying planning in neural networks remain poorly understood. Building on prior work, we analyze a r…
