🧠Researchers have developed a new method to extract interpretable causal mechanisms from neural networks using structured pruning as a search technique. The approach reframes network pruning as finding approximate causal abstractions, yielding closed-form criteria for simplifying networks while maintaining their causal structure under interventions.
AINeutralarXiv – CS AI · Mar 54/10
🧠Researchers propose a new pipeline to extract causal relationships from large language models by sampling documents, identifying events, and using causal discovery methods. The approach aims to reveal the causal hypotheses that LLMs assume rather than establishing real-world causality.
