The Myth of Expert Specialization in MoEs: Why Routing Reflects Geometry, Not Necessarily Domain Expertise

Researchers demonstrate that Mixture of Experts (MoEs) specialization in large language models emerges from hidden state geometry rather than specialized routing architecture, challenging assumptions about how these systems work. Expert routing patterns resist human interpretation across models and tasks, suggesting that understanding MoE specialization remains as difficult as the broader unsolved problem of interpreting LLM internal representations.

Expert Divergence Learning for MoE-based Language Models

Researchers introduce Expert Divergence Learning, a new pre-training strategy for Mixture-of-Experts language models that prevents expert homogenization by encouraging functional specialization. The method uses domain labels to maximize routing distribution differences between data domains, achieving better performance on 15 billion parameter models with minimal computational overhead.
