Recent advancements in the interpretability of large language models (LLMs) are focusing on enhancing our understanding of how these models generate predictions and the factors influencing their outputs. Techniques such as Hessian-Enhanced Token Attribution and Jacobian Scopes are being developed to provide more accurate token-level attributions, addressing the complexities inherent in autoregressive architectures. These methods aim to clarify the causal relationships between input tokens and model predictions, which is crucial for applications in sensitive domains like healthcare and finance, where understanding model behavior is paramount. Additionally, frameworks like reward-lens are adapting existing interpretability tools to better analyze reward models, while novel approaches like Hidden-state Driven Margin Intervention are enabling more reliable causal probing. Collectively, this body of work is shifting the focus from merely understanding model outputs to developing robust methodologies that can explain and predict model behavior, thereby fostering trust and accountability in LLM applications.

Attribution methods seek to explain language model predictions by quantifying the contribution of input tokens to generated outputs. However, most existing techniques are designed for encoder-based ar...
Categorical perception (CP) -- enhanced discriminability at category boundaries -- is among the most studied phenomena in perceptual psychology. This paper reports that analogous geometric warping occ...
While multilingual language models successfully transfer factual and syntactic knowledge across languages, it remains unclear whether they process culture-specific pragmatic registers, such as slang, ...
One of the most common complaints about large language models (LLMs) is their prompt sensitivity -- that is, the fact that their ability to perform a task or provide a correct answer to a question can...
LLMs have advanced text classification, yet existing paradigms face a trade-off: supervised (label only) fine-tuning is scalable but offers limited reasoning on complex text and lacks broader model tr...
Every RLHF-trained language model is shaped by a reward model, yet the mechanistic interpretability toolkit -- logit lens, direct logit attribution, activation patching, sparse autoencoders -- was bui...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures have become the dominant choice for scaling Large Language Models (LLMs), activating only a subset of parameters per token. While MoE architectures are primarily...
Understanding how Large Language Models (LLMs) process information from prompts remains a significant challenge. To shed light on this "black box," attention visualization techniques have been develop...
Recent work shows that LLMs can sometimes detect when steering vectors are injected into their residual stream and identify the injected concept, a phenomenon cited as evidence of "introspective aware...
Large language models are often not just wrong, but \emph{confidently wrong}: when they produce factually incorrect answers, they tend to verbalize overly high confidence rather than signal uncertaint...
