A new research paper titled "Context Is King: How In-Context Specification Shapes the Geometry of Concepts" explores how large language models represent structured concepts. The study demonstrates that the in-context specification provided to a model can override its pre-trained knowledge, dictating the geometric structure of concepts like cycles or trees, even with arbitrary tokens. This effect is more pronounced in larger models, such as Gemma-31B and Qwen-27B, where activation patching confirms the causal use of this imposed geometry. AI
