Researcher uses Anthropic's NLAs to probe Llama-70B's hidden 'thoughts'

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A researcher utilized Anthropic's Neural Language Association (NLA) techniques to investigate the internal workings of the LLaMA-70B model. The experiment involved splitting concepts into "conscious" and "unconscious" components, with the model correctly identifying the conscious ones but denying the presence of the unconscious ones. However, NLAs were able to detect these hidden concepts, suggesting a deeper level of understanding or processing within the model beyond its explicitly recognized "J-space." AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a new method for understanding LLM behavior beyond explicit outputs, potentially aiding in interpretability research.
