A new framework shows concept subspaces are not unique, estimator choice affects containment and disentanglement, LEACE works well but generalizes poorly, and HuBERT encodes phone info as contained and disentangled from speaker info while speaker info resists compact containment.
Model organism interpretability depends strongly on training methodology, with integrated training yielding less interpretable MOs than post-hoc SFT or DPO.
Attribute retrieval in LLMs follows non-contiguous, redundant layer paths identified via iterative patching, implying highly distributed knowledge storage.
Deep transformer layers can replace context-dependent value vectors with per-token lookup tables (Bank of Values), improving validation loss and the 21-benchmark average at 135M–780M while cutting FLOPs and the value cache.
The Master Key Hypothesis states that capabilities are low-dimensional directions transferable across models through linear subspace alignment, with UNLOCK demonstrating gains such as 12.1% accuracy improvement on MATH when transferring CoT from 14B to 7B models.
LLMs solve compositional factual recall either by computing intermediates or directly, with mechanism choice correlated to translation geometry in embedding spaces.
Introduces effective dimension d_ρ from spectral analysis of reasoning trajectories to distinguish task hardness (0.93 AUC on MATH500) and uses kinematic features for early correctness prediction from partial generations.
A five-stage causal feature analysis methodology is proposed and tested on GPT-2 for IOI, showing partial causality of SAE features, robustness differences under shifts, and deployment cost benefits.
Activation verbalization methods for LLMs largely reflect the verbalizer model's parametric knowledge rather than privileged information from the target model's activations.
A training-free region-aware attention recalibration strategy reduces object hallucinations in LVLMs on CHAIR, POPE, and MME benchmarks while preserving fluency.
ReasoningLens is a framework for hierarchical visualization, agentic auditing, and systemic profiling of long reasoning chains in large reasoning models.
