Attribution-Guided Pruning for Insight and Control: Circuit Discovery and Targeted Correction in Small-scale LLMs
Sayed Mohammad Vakilzadeh Hatefi, Maximilian Dreyer, Reduan Achtibat +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely deployed in real-world applications, yet their internal mechanisms remain difficult to interpret and control, limiting our ability to diagno…
The Atlas of In-Context Learning: How Attention Heads Shape In-Context Retrieval Augmentation
Patrick Kahardipraja, Reduan Achtibat, Thomas Wiegand +2
Large language models are able to exploit in-context learning to access external knowledge beyond their training data through retrieval-augmentation. While promising, its inner wor…
FADE: Why Bad Descriptions Happen to Good Features
Bruno Puri, Aakriti Jain, Elena Golimblevskaia +4
Recent advances in mechanistic interpretability have highlighted the potential of automating interpretability pipelines in analyzing the latent representations within LLMs. While t…
A Close Look at Decomposition-based XAI-Methods for Transformer Language Models
Leila Arras, Bruno Puri, Patrick Kahardipraja +2
Various XAI attribution methods have been recently proposed for the transformer architecture, allowing for insights into the decision-making process of large language models by ass…
