AIの理解!その奇妙な心がみえてきた?LLMの内部に隠された3層の知的構造を解明(2025-07)【論文解説シリーズ】Mechanistic Indicators of Understanding in Large Language Models. Pierre Beckmann, Matthieu Queloz. youtu.be/P06GXup5CcQ?fe… via @compassinai
New preprint: “Mechanistic Indicators of Understanding in LLMs” with @matthieu_queloz Building on mechanistic interpretability, we argue that LLMs exhibit signs of understanding—across three tiers: conceptual –, state-of-the-world –, and principled understanding. 🧵(1/9)
Very good to see this article by Matthieu Queloz examining the capabilities and limitations of LLMs from a value pluralist perspective - and with reference to the Kaleido project of @ma_tay_ and @YejinChoinka that I was privileged to be involved with. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Excellent paper out by @matthieu_queloz on the Williams-Dworkin debate. Really helpful in identifying the deeper sources of the philosophical disagreements behind them, as well as further elaborating what Williams meant by freedom as a 'political' value. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ph…

What is genealogy? In this new #OpenAccess article, I give an overview of different types of genealogy, exploring how they inform each other and enable us to move from considering the origins of concepts to evaluating and even engineering concepts: doi.org/10.1093/monist…
