Turn-averaged SAEs reconstruct average activations over conversation turns to represent high-level turn characteristics with a fixed number of features, simplifying long-context interpretability compared to per-token SAEs.
TimeROME-DLM enables training-free knowledge editing in masked diffusion language models via temporal causal tracing and low-rank residual edit memory applied at inference time.
PRISM is a new activation-conditioned model that recovers full sets of simultaneous instructions from LLM hidden states via judge-guided GRPO training and outperforms prior activation-to-language methods on security-relevant tasks.
V-SEAM combines concept-level visual semantic editing with attention head modulation to identify positive and negative contributors across object, attribute, and relationship levels, then uses this to improve VLM performance on VQA benchmarks.
Authority sycophancy in LLMs is a layer-localized erasure of correct answer representations that scales with authority level and resists simple interventions.
Across four language models, the linear direction detecting hallucinated entities achieves perfect separability yet lies at cosine 0.12 from the direction that induces refusal, with the gap unchanged by instruction tuning.
Attribute retrieval in LLMs follows non-contiguous, redundant layer paths identified via iterative patching, implying highly distributed knowledge storage.
LLMs generate adequate counterspeech for co-occurring hate and misinformation in 40% of cases, with a mixed knowledge strategy from fact-checkers and NGOs proving most effective after expert revision.
A latent mediation framework with sparse autoencoders enables non-additive token-level influence attribution in LLMs by learning orthogonal features and back-propagating attributions.
Tool identity is linearly readable and steerable in LLMs via mean activation differences, with 77-100% switch accuracy and error prediction from activation gaps.
Knowledge conflicts in hypernetwork LLM adaptation stem from constant adapter margins losing to frequency-dependent pretrained margins; selective layer boosting and conflict-aware triggering raise deep-conflict accuracy to 71-72.5% on Gemma-2B and Mistral-7B.
LLM 2-bit quantization fails via either cumulative signal degradation or early computation collapse in key components.
Mechanistic experiments on Gemma 3 27B, Qwen 2.5 7B and Magistral Small 24B show verbal confidence is cached at post-answer positions from answer tokens and captures richer answer-quality information beyond token log-probabilities.
Balanced parametric and in-context knowledge use in LLMs is an emergent property requiring intra-document repetition, moderate inconsistency, and skewed distributions in training data.
Across 15 LLMs, first-answer accuracy on arithmetic procedural execution falls from 63% at 5 steps to 20% at 95 steps, with under-execution increasing.
Activation patching provides evidence about neural network circuits when the choice of metric is aligned with the hypothesis and common interpretation errors are avoided.
Varying evaluation metrics and corruption methods in activation patching produces different localization and circuit discovery outcomes in language models, leading to recommendations for preferred practices.
