Rethinking Contextualization by Reinterpreting Attention Head Channels
Hakaze Cho, Haolin Yang, Zhun Sun +3
Contextualization, the core operation of language modeling, transmits information across words to build sentence-specific word representations. Prior works mainly study contextuali…
Do LLMs Need to Think in One Language? Correlation between Latent Language and Task Performance
Shintaro Ozaki, Tatsuya Hiraoka, Hiroto Otake +8
Large Language Models (LLMs) are known to process information using a proficient internal language consistently, referred to as latent language, which may differ from the input or…
Understanding Fact Recall in Language Models: Why Two-Stage Training Encourages Memorization but Mixed Training Teaches Knowledge
Ying Zhang, Benjamin Heinzerling, Dongyuan Li +1
While fine-tuning is the standard for injecting factual knowledge into large language models (LLMs), the mechanisms enabling reliable fact recall via unseen queries remain poorly u…
How a Bilingual LM Becomes Bilingual: Tracing Internal Representations with Sparse Autoencoders
Tatsuro Inaba, Go Kamoda, Kentaro Inui +5
This study explores how bilingual language models develop complex internal representations. We employ sparse autoencoders to analyze internal representations of bilingual language…
Weight-based Analysis of Detokenization in Language Models: Understanding the First Stage of Inference Without Inference
Go Kamoda, Benjamin Heinzerling, Tatsuro Inaba +3
According to the stages-of-inference hypothesis, early layers of language models map their subword-tokenized input, which does not necessarily correspond to a linguistically meanin…
RECALL: Library-Like Behavior In Language Models is Enhanced by Self-Referencing Causal Cycles
Munachiso Nwadike, Zangir Iklassov, Toluwani Aremu +6
We introduce the concept of the self-referencing causal cycle (abbreviated RECALL) - a mechanism that enables large language models (LLMs) to bypass the limitations of unidirection…
