Do Natural Language Interpretability Methods Convey Privileged Information?

ICML 2026poster

Recent interpretability methods have proposed to translate LLM internal representations into natural language descriptions using a second verbalizer LLM. This is intended to illuminate how the target model represents and operates on inputs. But do such activation verbalization approaches actually pr…

Function Vectors in Large Language Models

ICLR 2024poster

We report the presence of a simple neural mechanism that represents an input-output function as a vector within autoregressive transformer language models (LMs). Using causal mediation analysis on a diverse range of in-context-learning (ICL) tasks, we find that a small number attention heads transpo…

Summarizing, Simplifying, and Synthesizing Medical Evidence using GPT-3 (with Varying Success)

ACL 2023short

Large language models, particularly GPT-3, are able to produce high quality summaries ofgeneral domain news articles in few- and zero-shot settings. However, it is unclear if such models are similarly capable in more specialized domains such as biomedicine. In this paper we enlist domain experts (in…
