Oct 16, 2024 Our work Inducing Elasticity in Foundation Models: Post-Training Techniques for Adaptable Inference was accepted at the The 4th Workshop on Efficient Natural Language and Speech Processing @ NeurIPS 2024. We study weight decomposition approaches to induce elasticity in pretrained LLMs.
Oct 15, 2024 I will be presenting my MATS project, “Decoding Dark Matter: Specialized Sparse Autoencoders for Interpreting Rare Concepts in LLMs,” at the Second NeurIPS Workshop on Attributing Model Behavior at Scale. Our results show that SSAEs pareto dominate pretrained SAEs within specific subdomains, with promising implications for broader applications in AI safety.
