Personalizing Mixture-of-Experts LLMs for better control and understanding

Researchers have proposed a method to personalize Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Large Language Models (LLMs) by leveraging their sparse routing capabilities. This approach aims to reduce polysemanticity, a problem in dense LLMs where individual neurons encode multiple concepts, making personalization difficult to understand and control. By training cross-coders on activation data from personalized and non-personalized MoE models, the study identified specific experts responsible for distinct personalization features. Causal interventions demonstrated that these identified latents are sufficient to replicate personalized model behavior and that activating associated experts can guide a non-personalized model towards personalized performance. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more controllable and understandable personalized LLM applications by addressing polysemanticity in MoE architectures.
