A new approach for LLM Interpretability: Mapping the Emergence of Semantic Structure in GPT-2. See the project details and initial findings below:
BREAKTHROUGH COMING NEXT WEEK! After months of very intensive work, we are about to release the results of our "Exploratory Graph Analysis Item Parameters" simulation. We've successfully derived IRT-compatible parameters directly from EGA! Stay tuned, folks!

Large Language Models are great at mimicking human conversation, but do we trust them? Until now, research on trust in LLMs has been scarce. Introducing the Trust-In-LLMs Index (TILLMI), a new framework extending McAllister’s cognitive and affective trust dimensions to human–LLM interactions 1/n
New preprint from the Lab! We introduce the Trust-in-LLMs Index (TILLMI) and see it partitions in cognitive and affective dimensions. Great collab by De Duro @gaveltri.bsky.social @hudsongolino.bsky.social and myself on #LLMs. Read it here: arxiv.org/abs/2502.21028

🚨 Excited for the latest paper from the lab, led by Zhang & Arsham.
Can we coarse-grain a #ComplexNetwork while preserving macroscopic network flows?
Surprisingly, the answer is positive, and we have shown it by means of StatPhys + Machine Learning.
