Revisiting Anisotropy in Language Transformers: The Geometry of Learning Dynamics

ICML 2026poster

Since their introduction, Transformer architectures have dominated Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, recent research has highlighted an inherent anisotropy phenomenon in these models, presenting a significant challenge to their geometric interpretation. Previous theoretical studies on this…

ConSim: Measuring Concept-Based Explanations’ Effectiveness with Automated Simulatability

ACL 2025long

Concept-based explanations work by mapping complex model computations to human-understandable concepts. Evaluating such explanations is very difficult, as it includes not only the quality of the induced space of possible concepts but also how effectively the chosen concepts are communicated to users…

COCKATIEL: COntinuous Concept ranKed ATtribution with Interpretable ELements for explaining neural net classifiers on NLP

ACL 2023findings

Transformer architectures are complex and their use in NLP, while it has engendered many successes, makes their interpretability or explainability challenging. Recent debates have shown that attention maps and attribution methods are unreliable (Pruthi et al., 2019; Brunner et al., 2019). In this pa…
