Researchers have developed a method called "introspective coupling" to train language models (LMs) to generate more faithful explanations of their behavior. This technique uses fixed counterfactual explanations, even those from similar models, as supervision. Surprisingly, LMs trained this way often produce explanations that better reflect their own current actions rather than the specific behaviors they were trained on. This method effectively tracks behavioral shifts during training without needing updated supervision, proving useful for tasks like identifying sycophancy and refusal. AI
