Researchers have introduced "Mechanistic Tomography," a framework for interpretability in AI models. This approach unifies various measurement techniques like patching and Hessian-vector products under a shared mathematical structure, enabling a more systematic recovery of internal model mechanisms and intervention effects. The framework proposes a practical procedure for applying these measurements, starting with simpler methods and expanding as needed based on residual errors. It demonstrates effectiveness in control-oriented interpretability tasks, showing how measurement accuracy directly impacts control error in models like a two-HMM system and identifying key interactions in large language models such as GPT-2 small and Qwen 2.5 7B.
