New research explores semantic geometry in LLMs with 'Meaning Contracts'

A new research paper introduces the concept of "Meaning Contracts" to analyze the internal semantic geometry of large language models. The study, which evaluated models like Gemma 4, Llama 3.2, and Qwen 2.5, found that semantic factors organize around an invariant core with structured variations. The research indicates that meaning contracts under refinement, leading to directed displacements into tighter neighborhoods within the models' embedding spaces. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel framework for understanding semantic organization within LLMs, potentially guiding future model development and interpretability efforts.

    Meaning Contracts: Local Semantic Geometry in Large Language Models

    arXiv:2610.30715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies the local geometry of semantic meaning in large language models. Current representation analyses ask whether meanings are close in embedding space, or whether linear probes separate semantic classes, but they do n…
