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: 🪧Poster Session 1 @ Exhibit Hall C,D,E #1015 Wed 3 Dec, 11 am - 2 pm 🪧Poster @ Mech Interp Workshop Upper Level Room 30A-E Sun 7 Dec, 8 am - 5 pm

Capturing Polysemanticity with PRISM: A Multi-Concept Feature Description Framework @lkopf.bsky.social @nfel.bsky.social @kirillbykov.bsky.social @philinelb.bsky.social Anna Hedström, Marina Höhne @eberleoliver.bsky.social 👇

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. 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2506.15538 #NeurIPS #MechInterp #XAI

🚨New paper 🚨 We are happy to announce that our paper “Deep Learning meets Teleconnections: Improving S2S Predictions for European Winter Weather” has been published at Machine Learning: Earth @ioppublishing.bsky.social 📄 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... 💻 github.com/philine-bomm...

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 👉

🔍 When do neurons encode multiple concepts? We introduce PRISM, a framework for extracting multi-concept feature descriptions to better understand polysemanticity. 📄 Capturing Polysemanticity with PRISM: A Multi-Concept Feature Description Framework arxiv.org/abs/2506.15538 🧵 (1/7)

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.”

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!
