New method enhances explanation faithfulness in Mixture-of-Experts models

Researchers have explored the effectiveness of role specialization in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures for enhancing explanation faithfulness. They hypothesize that overlap in representations between experts can degrade attribution-based faithfulness, even when semantic roles are explicitly assigned. To address this, a new method introduces representation-level decorrelation regularization to minimize inter-expert similarity in latent space, thereby encouraging clearer specialization. Experiments across multimodal benchmarks demonstrate that this separation consistently improves explanation faithfulness while maintaining task performance, and the benefits extend to standard sparse MoE baselines.
