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:2609.40127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern transformers pair impressive capabilities with substantial memory and compute demands. Low-rank weight factorization reduces both while keepin...
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.
Modern transformers pair impressive capabilities with substantial memory and compute demands. Low-rank weight factorization reduces both while keeping the matrices dense, and thus efficient on standar...
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:2609.36813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong general capabilities that mechanistic interpretability has attributed to sparse computational circuits. How...
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.
