🥳 Super happy to have our work on multi-concept feature descriptions accepted at #NeurIPS2025!
Happy to share that our PRISM paper has been accepted at #NeurIPS2025 🎉

In this work, we introduce a multi-concept feature description framework that can identify and score polysemantic features.

🚨 New preprint! Excited to share our work on extracting and evaluating the potentially many feature descriptions of language models

👉 arxiv.org/abs/2506.15538
🔍 When do neurons encode multiple concepts?

We introduce PRISM, a framework for extracting multi-concept feature descriptions to better understand polysemanticity.
