Interpretable weights found in sparse transformers

Researchers have developed an automated pipeline to interpret individual parameters within weight-sparse transformers. This method generates human-readable descriptions of when a specific weight is relevant to the model's predictions across the entire training distribution. The study found that a significant portion of weights in sparse transformers, ranging from 12% to 31%, could be interpreted with a single, generalized description, a higher rate than observed in dense transformers.
