  1. Competition of Mechanisms: Tracing How Language Models Handle Facts and Counterfactuals (2024 · 23 citations)
    Most mechanistic interpretability work studies one mechanism at a time, such as copying via induction heads or factual recall in MLP layers.
  2. Language Model Alignment in Multilingual Trolley Problems (2024 · 23 citations)
    Most moral-alignment benchmarks for LLMs are English-only and reflect mainly US respondents, so it is unclear whether models' moral choices match the preferences of speakers of other languages.
  3. When Seeing Overrides Knowing: Disentangling Knowledge Conflicts in Vision-Language Models (2026 · 2 citations)
    Vision-language models sometimes face images that contradict what they learned in pre-training, and such clashes can cause hallucinations.
