A new research paper explores the effectiveness of interpretability methods in neural networks, specifically focusing on whether they can isolate and disentangle known concepts. The study introduces a multi-concept evaluation framework using sentiment, domain, voice, and tense, revealing that while individual features often respond to a single concept, these concepts are distributed across many features. Furthermore, attempts to manipulate features independently frequently impact multiple concepts, suggesting that current correlational metrics may be insufficient for demonstrating selective steering and that multi-concept evaluations are crucial for advancing interpretability research.
