arXiv:2608. 03913v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense pretrained transformers do not naturally expose interpretable units for circuit extraction.
arXiv:2606. 16939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A prominent research direction in mechanistic interpretability is learning sparse circuits over LLM components to reveal how they jointly produce model behavior.
arXiv:2607. 02964v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A central goal of mechanistic interpretability is to understand how neural networks work and what each individual component does.
arXiv:2603. 09161v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning effective netlist representations is fundamentally constrained by the scarcity of labeled datasets, as real designs are protected by Intellectual Property (IP) and costly to annotate.
arXiv:2607. 18921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Circuit extraction identifies a small set of model components whose presence preserves a target behavior under ablation, and the resulting circuit is often read as the mechanism behind that behavior.
arXiv:2607. 20652v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models are thought to exhibit the phenomenon of superposition, representing many more features than dimensions in their residual streams.
arXiv:2508. 10409v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper constructs a textual dataset for training large language models (LLMs) to learn analog circuit knowledge and customizes LLM training techniques.
arXiv:2606. 15796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability seeks to explain neural network behavior by decomposing model computations into interpretable features and circuits.
arXiv:2607. 11990v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feedforward network (FFN) blocks account for a large fraction of the parameters and computation in Transformer architectures, yet their internal structure remains difficult to interpret due to the additive superposition induced by the residual stream.
arXiv:2606. 08161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As capacitance extraction accuracy of rule-based pattern matching becomes difficult to sustain at advanced nodes, a growing trend emerges to develop deep-learning-based 2D capacitance models.
arXiv:2411. 09816v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large neural networks achieve state-of-the-art performance on many tasks, yet their sheer size hinders deployment on resource-constrained devices.
arXiv:2607. 13047v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parameter decomposition (PD) decomposes neural networks into interpretable computational components that faithfully reflect the original network's operations.
arXiv:2603. 13092v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Yield Multi-Corner Analysis validates circuits across 25+ Process-Voltage-Temperature corners, resulting in a combinatorial simulation cost of $O(K \times N)$ where $K$ denotes corners and $N$ exceeds $10^4$ samples per corner.
