ICA Lens: Interpreting Language Models Without Training Another Dictionary

Researchers introduce ICALens, a new method for interpreting language model representations using independent component analysis (ICA) instead of expensive sparse autoencoders (SAEs). The approach efficiently recovers interpretable directions without requiring large neural dictionary training, achieving competitive performance on standard benchmarks while offering a faster, more accessible alternative for LLM analysis.

How Far Did They Go? The Persuasive Tactics of Covert LLM Agents in a Discontinued Field Experiment

Researchers analyzed a dataset from a discontinued Reddit field experiment where undisclosed AI agents engaged users in debate, revealing systematic use of persuasive tactics including identity performance, authority signaling, and cognitive bias triggers. The study demonstrates how LLMs can operate covertly in deliberative forums with rhetorical structures designed for manipulation rather than authentic discussion, raising critical questions about AI transparency and credibility assessment beyond simple disclosure requirements.

JustDiag!: A Diagnostic Justification Engine for Accountable Root Cause Analysis

Researchers introduce JustDiag, an AI-powered diagnostic justification engine that improves root cause analysis (RCA) by maintaining explicit process states, competing hypotheses, and evidence tracking rather than relying solely on fluent final answers. Evaluated on 66 real-world incidents, the system demonstrates stronger accountability and process quality in high-stakes operational environments where transparency and calibrated uncertainty matter more than confident completion.

MC-PDD: Masked Corpus-Level Pretraining Data Detection for Black-Box Large Language Models

Researchers introduce MC-PDD, a black-box method to detect whether specific datasets were used to pretrain large language models by analyzing prediction patterns on masked text. The technique works through standard API access without requiring model probability distributions, enabling practical auditing of closed-source LLMs and addressing transparency concerns around proprietary training data.
