SUMMARY:ASSET Seminar: "Demystifying the Inner Workings of Language Models"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLarge language models (LLMs) power a rapidly-growing and increasingly impactful suite of AI technologies. However\, due to their scale and complexity\, we lack a fundamental scientific understanding of much of LLMs’ behavior\, even when they are open source. The “black-box” nature of LMs not only complicates model debugging and evaluation\, but also limits trust and usability. In this talk\, I will describe how my research on interpretability (i.e.\, understanding models’ inner workings) has answered key scientific questions about how models operate. I will then demonstrate how deeper insights into LLMs’ behavior enable both 1) targeted performance improvements and 2) the production of transparent\, trustworthy explanations for human users. \nZoom Link (if unable to attend in-person): https://upenn.zoom.us/j/99113576305
