Decoding Dark Matter: Specialized Sparse Autoencoders for Interpreting Rare Concepts in Foundation Models

NAACL 2025findings

Understanding and mitigating the potential risks associated with foundation models (FMs) hinges on developing effective interpretability methods. Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising tool for disentangling FM representations, but they struggle to capture rare, yet crucial concepts…

Adversarial Text to Continuous Image Generation

CVPR 2024poster

Existing GAN-based text-to-image models treat images as 2D pixel arrays. In this paper we approach the text-to-image task from a different perspective where a 2D image is represented as an implicit neural representation (INR). We show that straightforward conditioning of the unconditional INR-based…

ReAugKD: Retrieval-Augmented Knowledge Distillation For Pre-trained Language Models

ACL 2023short

Knowledge Distillation (KD) is one of the most effective approaches to deploying large-scale pre-trained language models in low-latency environments by transferring the knowledge contained in the large-scale models to smaller student models. Prior KD approaches use the soft labels and intermediate a…

Symbolic Music Generation with Transformer-GANs

AAAI 2021technical

Autoregressive models using Transformers have emerged as the dominant approach for music generation with the goal of synthesizing minute-long compositions that exhibit large-scale musical structure. These models are commonly trained by minimizing the negative log-likelihood (NLL) of the obse…
