arXiv:2601. 22594v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The high-level concepts that a neural network uses to perform computation need not be aligned to individual neurons (Smolensky, 1986).
arXiv:2603. 21014v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability seeks to understand how Large Language Models (LLMs) represent and process information.

arXiv:2606. 07524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The explosive growth of large language models (LLMs) has created a heterogeneous and poorly documented ecosystem, making systematic model comparison increasingly important for provenance auditing, security analysis, and model selection.
arXiv:2606. 28548v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have become a useful tool for extracting interpretable features in language models.
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:2606. 11660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data attribution is a promising field in interpretability that aims to explain model behavior through the influence of its training data, with applications including debugging undesirable model behavior and training dataset curation.
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:2608. 02879v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The widespread adoption of proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs) accessed strictly through closed APIs has created a critical challenge for responsible deployment: a fundamental lack of interpretability.
arXiv:2607. 20477v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: {\em Text-Attributed Graphs} (TAGs) have emerged as an expressive data model for integrating graph topology with rich textual semantics.
arXiv:2608. 07594v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interpretability is often treated as a tax on capability: language models are trained as opaque systems, then explained after the fact, with methods whose reliability is difficult to establish.
arXiv:2606. 11722v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Finding interpretable directions in language-model representations is critical for understanding and controlling model behavior.
arXiv:2606. 31166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-attributed graphs (TAGs), where each node carries a natural language description, require models to jointly reason over text and graph topology.
arXiv:2606. 26620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a powerful tool for decomposing superposed language model representations into sparse and interpretable features.
