New IG-Lens method precisely attributes token probability across transformer layers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed IG-Lens, a novel method for precisely attributing the probability of a predicted token to specific layers within decoder-only transformer models. Unlike existing tools that offer approximate or biased estimations, IG-Lens uses a telescoping application of Integrated Gradients to provide an exact additive decomposition in probability space. This approach accounts for the softmax nonlinearity, ensuring that the sum of attributions across layers precisely matches the total change in prediction probability. AI

IMPACT Provides a more accurate method for understanding internal model behavior, potentially aiding in debugging and interpretability.

    IG-Lens: Exact Additive Probability Attribution Across Transformer Layers via Telescoping Integrated Gradients

    arXiv:2606.29693v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We ask a simple question about decoder-only transformers: \emph{between which two layers is the probability of a predicted token actually produced?} Existing layer-wise readout tools answer only approximately. The logit lens and its…
