  1. Progress measures for grokking via mechanistic interpretability (2023 · 228 citations)
    Deep networks sometimes gain new abilities abruptly, which makes their behavior hard to anticipate. This work asks whether such jumps hide smooth underlying progress, and whether interpretability can reveal it. The test case is grokking: small transformers learning addition modulo a prime first memorize the training…
  2. The Alignment Problem from a Deep Learning Perspective (2022 · 121 citations)
    The paper asks whether long-standing worries about misaligned AGI still hold when they are tied to current deep learning practice rather than to abstract arguments from classical AI.
