Time Course MechInterp: Analyzing the Evolution of Components and Knowledge in Large Language Models

ACL 2025finding

Understanding how large language models (LLMs) acquire and store factual knowledge is crucial for enhancing their interpretability, reliability, and efficiency. In this work, we analyze the evolution of factual knowledge representation in the OLMo-7B model by tracking the roles of its Attention Head…

Exploring Spatial Schema Intuitions in Large Language and Vision Models

ACL 2024findings

Despite the ubiquity of large language models (LLMs) in AI research, the question of embodiment in LLMs remains underexplored, distinguishing them from embodied systems in robotics where sensory perception directly informs physical action.Our investigation navigates the intriguing terrain of whether…

A Crosslingual Investigation of Conceptualization in 1335 Languages

ACL 2023long

Languages differ in how they divide up the world into concepts and words; e.g., in contrast to English, Swahili has a single concept for ‘belly’ and ‘womb’. We investigate these differences in conceptualization across 1,335 languages by aligning concepts in a parallel corpus. To this end, we propose…

LMs stand their Ground: Investigating the Effect of Embodiment in Figurative Language Interpretation by Language Models

ACL 2023findings

Figurative language is a challenge for language models since its interpretation is based on the use of words in a way that deviates from their conventional order and meaning. Yet, humans can easily understand and interpret metaphors, similes or idioms as they can be derived from embodied metaphors.…
