Hypothesis testing 🤝 mechanistic interpretability
The circuit hypothesis proposes that LLM capabilities emerge from small subnetworks within the model. But how can we actually test this? 🤔

I am on the academic job market this year! My research advances probabilistic machine learning and its application to biology. I'm looking for faculty positions in stats/CS/applied math and in bio departments. Academic website: eweinstein.github.io/

Check out our new paper using hierarchical causal models and representation learning to estimate the effects of immune proteins
I'm thrilled to present a new paper with @blei_lab and @lizbwood about estimating the causal effects of T cell receptors in humans. arxiv.org/abs/2410.14127

New paper from @blei_lab member @EliWeinstein6 on manufacturing samples from generative protein models. The idea is to approximate a complex distribution with simpler ones that are easy to sample from in the real world, using stochastic chemical reactions.x.com/EliWeinstein6/status/1…

I’m thrilled to announce: at @jura_bio we’ve constructed a new kind of generative protein model, which allows us to manufacture its generated designs in the real world at petascale. Paper: static1.squarespace.com/stat… Blog: jura.bio/blog/variationalsyn…

How do LLMs from different organizations compare in morally ambiguous scenarios? Do LLMs exhibit common-sense reasoning in morally unambiguous scenarios? 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2307.14324 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 @causalclaudia @amirfeder @blei_lab @farairesearch A thread: 🧵[1/N]

1/ I had the opportunity to join the @DataSkeptic podcast to discuss CAREER, a method that uses transfer learning to model career trajectories. This is a project I've been working on with @blei_lab and @Susan_Athey's group. Thank you for having me on! open.spotify.com/episode/7tZ…
