LLMs have been shown to provide different predictions in clinical tasks when patient race is altered. Can SAEs spot this undue reliance on race? 🧵 Work w/ @byron.bsky.social Link: arxiv.org/abs/2511.00177

Who is going to be at #COLM2025? I want to draw your attention to a COLM paper by my student @sfeucht.bsky.social that has totally changed the way I think and teach about LLM representations. The work is worth knowing. And you can meet Sheridan at COLM, Oct 7! bsky.app/profile/sfe...

[📄] Are LLMs mindless token-shifters, or do they build meaningful representations of language? We study how LLMs copy text in-context, and physically separate out two types of induction heads: token heads, which copy literal tokens, and concept heads, which copy word meanings.

I'm searching for some comp/ling experts to provide a precise definition of “slop” as it refers to text (see: corp.oup.com/word-of-the-...) I put together a google form that should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete: forms.gle/oWxsCScW3dJU... If you can help, I'd appreciate your input! 🙏

LLMs are known to perpetuate social biases in clinical tasks. Can we locate and intervene upon LLM activations that encode patient demographics like gender and race? 🧵 Work w/ @arnabsensharma.bsky.social, @silvioamir.bsky.social, @davidbau.bsky.social, @byron.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2502.13319
