arXiv:2606. 09894v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Across contemplative, philosophical, and psychological accounts, human consciousness is often described along a similar spectrum, ranging from reactive and self-focused patterns to more integrative and coherent ones.
arXiv:2606. 09287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how transformer representations evolve across layers, not merely what they encode, remains an open problem in mechanistic interpretability.
arXiv:2606. 03093v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prompting steers large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) without weight updates, but it remains unclear how instruction changes reshape internal representations to produce behavior.
arXiv:2510. 24342v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Prior brain-AI alignment studies are typically constrained by specific inputs and tasks, limiting their ability to capture organizational properties across models with different modalities.
arXiv:2607. 02386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Vision Transformers have achieved remarkable success across computer vision and language applications, the geometric evolution of their internal representations throughout training remains insufficiently understood.
arXiv:2606. 19542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are commonly aligned through supervised fine-tuning, yet little is known about how their internal representations evolve during this process.
arXiv:2605. 24942v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Steering a language model - intervening on its internal activations to change downstream behaviour - has recently expanded beyond linear interpolation to nonlinear methods such as angular and kernelized steering, which define intervention transformations without learning an explicit geometry over paths in activation space.
arXiv:2607. 04525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How concepts are represented in neural networks is a fundamental question in machine learning.
arXiv:2605. 28865v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: What does a world model learn from physical exploration, without any linguistic supervision?
arXiv:2607. 10578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing hypotheses represent a concept in an LLM as a single point, a linear direction, or a Gaussian cluster, yet it remains unclear how and why such structures emerge.
arXiv:2606. 09859v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: MLLMs frequently hallucinate objects inconsistent with visual inputs.
arXiv:2607. 03210v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard machine learning training presents data as discrete endpoint pairs, omitting the structure of the space between them.
arXiv:2606. 23885v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representation alignment has emerged as an effective approach to improve Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) by regularizing their internal representations toward those of an external vision encoder.
