Anthropic 论文:语言模型中的可言语化表征构成全局工作区
Anthropic 在 Transformer Circuits 发布论文,提出 Jacobian lens(J-lens)可解释性方法,用于识别语言模型中可被言语化的内部表征,并将这些表征的集合称为 J-space。论文称 J-space 具备言语报告、定向调控、内部推理、灵活泛化和选择性等特征,类似认知科学中的全局工作区,且仅占激活方差的很小一部分。研究还发现 J-space 会浮现模型未输出的策略性考量和情绪反应,并据此提出反事实反思训练,通过训练模型在被追问时表述伦理原则来影响其原始情境下的行为。

he Jacobian lens identifies a vector representation that encodes the potential for the model to verbalize that token in the future. Concretely, it computes, for each layer, the average linearized effect of an activation on the model's likelihood of producing a particular token (now or in the future), averaging over a large corpus of contexts (see Methods for details). The averaging step is key, as it distinguishes representations that are verbalizable—poised to be spoken about, should the occasi
