Diffusion Tensor Imaging Visualizes LLM Information Flow

Researchers have developed a novel method using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to visualize information flow within word embeddings in large language models (LLMs). This technique moves beyond analyzing isolated words to examining entire natural language expressions, revealing how embedding space representations change between tokens. The DTI approach offers new insights into LLM interpretability and could potentially identify underutilized layers for model pruning. AI

IMPACT Enhances interpretability of LLMs by visualizing internal information flow, potentially aiding in model optimization.

    Visualising Information Flow in Word Embeddings with Diffusion Tensor Imaging

    arXiv:2601.05713v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding how large language models (LLMs) represent natural language is a central challenge in natural language processing (NLP) research. Many existing methods extract word embeddings from an LLM, visualise the embedding s…
