Causal Tracing
An interpretability research technique that traces causal pathways within a neural network to locate the internal structures on which a specific function depends.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The core tools of causal intervention are activation patching and causal tracing; this method has been validated as effective in tasks such as factual recall and syntactic processing, and here it is systematically applied for the first time to circuit localization in low-resource translation.
