In our new paper, we explore how we can build encoding models that are both powerful and understandable. Our model uses an LLM to answer 35 questions about a sentence's content. The answers linearly contribute to our prediction of how the brain will respond to that sentence. 1/6
Our "Competitions of Mechanisms" paper proposes an interesting way to interpret LLM behaviors thru how it handles multiple conflicting mechanisms. E.G., in-context knowledge vs. in-weights knowledge🧐This is an elegant philophical way of thinking --
I will be a SPAR mentor this Fall🤖
Check out the programme and apply by 20 August to work with me on formalising and/or measuring and/or intervening on goal-directed behaviour in AI agents

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is key for safe, reliable LLMs... but are we evaluating it correctly?
🚨 Our ACL2025 paper finds a hidden flaw: if both UQ methods and correctness metrics are biased by the same factor (e.g., response length), evaluations get systematically skewed

🚨New Preprint!!
Thrilled to share with you our latest work: “Mixture of Cognitive Reasoners”, a modular transformer architecture inspired by the brain’s functional networks: language, logic, social reasoning, and world knowledge.

This paper is a bit heavy; however, the insights are good. The authors characterize the requirements for two representation to be similar.
Also, there may be a connection with openreview.net/forum?id=yyYMA… (I should look into this).

I just landed in Vancouver to present @NeurIPSConf the findings of our new work!
Few-shot learning and fine-tuning change the hidden layers of LLMs in a dramatically different way, even when they perform equally well on multiple-choice question-answering tasks.
🧵1/6
Why do NNs often learn similar representations? Existing identifiability results offer theoretical insights, but applying them in practice poses challenges.
We’ll present our new work exploring these challenges next week at @unireps#NeurIPS2024 🇨🇦🎉
