How a Bilingual LM Becomes Bilingual: Tracing Internal Representations with Sparse Autoencoders

EMNLP 2025

This study explores how bilingual language models develop complex internal representations.We employ sparse autoencoders to analyze internal representations of bilingual language models with a focus on the effects of training steps, layers, and model sizes.Our analysis shows that language models fir

Massive Supervised Fine-tuning Experiments Reveal How Data, Layer, and Training Factors Shape LLM Alignment Quality

EMNLP 2025

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is a critical step in aligning large language models (LLMs) with human instructions and values, yet many aspects of SFT remain poorly understood. We trained a wide range of base models on a variety of datasets including code generation, mathematical reasoning, and genera

Unveiling Multi-level and Multi-modal Semantic Representations in the Human Brain using Large Language Models

EMNLP 2024main

In recent studies, researchers have used large language models (LLMs) to explore semantic representations in the brain; however, they have typically assessed different levels of semantic content, such as speech, objects, and stories, separately. In this study, we recorded brain activity using functi…

High-Resolution Image Reconstruction With Latent Diffusion Models From Human Brain Activity

CVPR 2023poster

Reconstructing visual experiences from human brain activity offers a unique way to understand how the brain represents the world, and to interpret the connection between computer vision models and our visual system. While deep generative models have recently been employed for this task, reconstructi…

Demixed shared component analysis of neural population data from multiple brain areas

NeurIPS 2020spotlight

Recent advances in neuroscience data acquisition allow for the simultaneous recording of large populations of neurons across multiple brain areas while subjects perform complex cognitive tasks. Interpreting these data requires us to index how task-relevant information is shared across brain regions,…
