Where Does Toxicity Live? Mechanistic Localization and Targeted Suppression in Language Models

Researchers introduce Meow2X and TRNE, two novel frameworks that identify and suppress toxicity in large language models by localizing harmful content to specific neural layers and neurons, then neutralizing it through inference-time adjustments without retraining. The approach demonstrates consistent toxicity reduction across multiple models while preserving language quality, revealing that early MLP layers disproportionately encode toxic behavior.

Beyond External Monitors: Enhancing Transparency of Large Language Models for Easier Monitoring

Researchers propose TELLME, a novel method to improve transparency and monitorability of large language models by enhancing their internal representations rather than relying solely on external monitoring tools. The technique demonstrates consistent improvements in detoxification tasks across multimodal datasets and model architectures, addressing the fundamental challenge that chain-of-thought explanations fail to accurately reflect LLMs' actual decision-making processes.

Reducing Toxicity in Language Models

Large pretrained language models acquire toxic behavior and biases from internet training data, creating safety challenges for real-world deployment. The article explores three key approaches to address this issue: improving training dataset collection, enhancing toxic content detection, and implementing model detoxification techniques.
