San Diego 🇺🇸 or Mexico City 🇲🇽 for #NeurIPS2025? We got you covered either way 😎

On Dec 3rd:
🇲🇽 @dilya.bsky.social present our work on the fragility of Mech Interp in Mexico
🇺🇸 @lkopf.bsky.social present our work on polysemanticity in San Diego

I am not there this year, so I‘ll be cheering from afar!

✈️🇲🇽 Next Wednesday (Dec 3), 1–4 p.m. CST, I’ll be presenting Manipulating Feature Visualizations with Gradient Slingshots at NeurIPS 2025 in Mexico City!

Feature Visualization has long been a staple interpretability tool. Our work shows it’s far from reliable! 🚨

I’m at #NeurIPS in San Diego this week! Come see our poster on feature interpretability. Find @eberleoliver.bsky.social and me at:

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.

Thank you!! 😊

Personal news: I have defended my PhD thesis “Explaining Representations in Deep Neural Networks” at @tuberlin.bsky.social with summa cum laude (with distinction).

From August, I’ll start a Postdoc at @tumunich.bsky.social in @eml-munich.bsky.social, focusing on Mechanistic Interpretability ✨

Check out our new work! Proud to share what we’ve been up to 👉

I’ll be presenting our work at @neuripsconf.bsky.social in Vancouver! 🎉
Join me this Thursday, December 12th, in East Exhibit Hall A-C, Poster #3107, from 11 a.m. PST to 2 p.m. PST. I'll be discussing our paper “CoSy: Evaluating Textual Explanations of Neurons.”

🔗 Link to the paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.20331

I am not attending #NeurIPS2024, but I encourage everyone interested in #XAI and #MechInterp to check out our paper on evaluating textual descriptions of neurons!

Join @lkopf.bsky.social, Anna Hedström, and Marina Marie-Claire Höhne on Thu 09.12, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. CST at East Exhibit Hall A-C #3107!

Great! ☺️

Thank you for curating the list!
