In a special interview, Will speaks with Wyatt Bloom, the co-founder and host of Rediscover the 80s. Together with his childhood friend, the late Jason Gross, Wyatt built a portal to the 80s, that reminisces about the decade through various lenses via countless articles, a handful of podcasts, and more. Will and Wyatt the power of nostalgia, and perhaps more succinctly the power of what we leave behind.0:00 - Introduction1:28 - InterviewFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snowGet our new book Totally Bogus (But True) Tales of the 1980s at Amazon.Visit Rediscover the 80s at https://www.rediscoverthe80s.com/.

How do we figure out whether interpretability is doing its job? One way is to see if it helps us prove things about models that we care about knowing. In this episode, I speak with Jason Gross about his agenda to benchmark interpretability in this way, and his exploration of the intersection of proofs and modern machine learning.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Formal verification, heuristic explanations and surprise accounting, published by Jacob Hilton on June 25, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. ARC's current research focus can be thought of as trying to combine mechanistic interpretability and formal verification. If we had a deep understanding of what was going on inside a neural network, we would hope to be able to use that understanding to verify that the network was not going to behave dangerously in unforeseen situations. ARC is attempting to perform this kind of verification, but using a mathematical kind of "explanation" instead of one written in natural language. To help elucidate this connection, ARC has been supporting work on Compact Proofs of Model Performance via Mechanistic Interpretability by Jason Gross, Rajashree Agrawal, Lawrence Chan and others, which we were excited to see released along with this post. While we ultimately think that provable guarantees for large neural networks are unworkable as a long-term goal, we think that this work serves as a useful springboard towards alternatives. In this post, we will: Summarize ARC's takeaways from this work and the problems we see with provable guarantees Explain ARC's notion of a heuristic explanation and how it is intended to overcome these problems Describe with the help of a worked example how the quality of a heuristic explanation can be quantified, using a process we have been calling surprise accounting We are also sharing a draft by Gabriel Wu (currently visiting ARC) describing a heuristic explanation for the same model that appears in the above paper: max_of_k Heuristic Estimator Thanks to Stephanie He for help with the diagrams in this post. Thanks to Eric Neyman, Erik Jenner, Gabriel Wu, Holly Mandel, Jason Gross, Mark Xu, and Mike Winer for comments. Formal verification for neural networks In Compact Proofs of Model Performance via Mechanistic Interpretability, the authors train a small transformer on an algorithmic task to high accuracy, and then construct several different formal proofs of lower bounds on the network's accuracy. Without foraying into the details, the most interesting takeaway from ARC's perspective is the following picture: In the top right of the plot is the brute-force proof, which simply checks every possible input to the network. This gives the tightest possible bound, but is very long. Meanwhile, in the bottom left is the trivial proof, which simply states that the network is at least 0% accurate. This is very short, but gives the loosest possible bound. In between these two extremes, along the orange Pareto frontier, there are proofs that exploit more structure in the network, leading to tighter bounds for a given proof length, or put another way, shorter proofs for a given bound tightness. It is exciting to see a clear demonstration that shorter proofs better explain why the neural network has high accuracy, paralleling a common mathematical intuition that shorter proofs offer more insight. One might therefore hope that if we understood the internals of a neural network well enough, then we would be able to provide provable guarantees for very complex behaviors, even when brute-force approaches are infeasible. However, we think that such a hope is not realistic for large neural networks, because the notion of proof is too strict. The basic problem with provable guarantees is that they must account for every possible way in which different parts of the network interact with one another, even when those interactions are incidental to the network's behavior. These interactions manifest as error terms, which the proof must provide a worst-case bound for, leading to a looser bound overall. The above picture provides a good demonstration of this: moving towards the left of the plot, the best bound gets looser and looser. Mo...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Thomas Kwa's research journal, published by Thomas Kwa on November 23, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Thomas Kwa Why I'm writing this Research feedback loops for junior AI safety researchers are pretty poor right now. They're better than in the past due to the recent explosion in empirical work, but AI safety is still a very new field whose methodology is not quite nailed down, and which cannot admit the same level of aimlessness as other sciences, or ML at large. There are very likely mistakes being repeated by scientists after scientist, and hopefully I can alleviate the problem slightly by publicly writing about successes and failures in my research process. This is a monologue containing my ~daily research thoughts, using the LW dialogue format because it allows continuous publication. Hopefully this lets some people either give me feedback or compare their research process to mine. If you do have some thoughts, feel free to leave a comment! People I'm collaborating with might occasionally leave dialogue entries. With that, let's share the state of my work as of 11/12. Currently I have a bunch of disconnected projects: Characterize planning inside KataGo by retargeting it to output the worst move (with Adria Garriga-Alonso). Improve circuit discovery by implementing edge-level subnetwork probing on sparse autoencoder features (with Adria and David Udell). Create a tutorial for using TransformerLens on arbitrary (e.g. non-transformer) models by extending 'HookedRootModule', which could make it easy to use TransformerLens for e.g. ARENA 3.0 projects. Create proofs for the accuracy of small neural nets in Coq (with Jason Gross and Rajashree Agrawal). Create demonstrations of catastrophic regressional Goodhart and possibly strengthen theoretical results. Help Peter Barnett and Jeremy Gillen wrap up some threads from MIRI, including editing an argument that misaligned mesa-optimizers are very likely. I plan to mostly write about the first three, but might write about any of these if it doesn't make things too disorganized. Thomas Kwa Monday 11/13 I did SERI MATS applications and thought about Goodhart, but most of my time was spent on the KataGo project. I might more about it later, but the idea is to characterize the nature of planning in KataGo. Early training runs had produced promising results-- a remarkably sparse mask lets the network output almost the worst possible move as judged by the value network-- but I was a bit suspicious that the hooked network was implementing some trivial behavior, like always moving in the corner. I adapted some visualization code previously used for FAR's adversarial Go attack paper to see what the policy was doing, and well... Turns out the network is doing the trivial behavior of moving in either the top left or bottom left corner. I wish I had checked this earlier (it took ~14 days of work to get here), but it doesn't kill this project-- I can just redo the next training run to only allow moves on the 3rd line or above, and hopefully the worst behavior here won't be so trivial. Tomorrow I'm going to table this project and start implementing edge-level subnetwork probing-- estimate is 2 days for the algorithm and maybe lots more effort to run benchmarks. Thomas Kwa Wednesday 11/15 Updates from the last two days: I finished the basic edge-level subnetwork probing code over the last two days. This is exciting because it might outperform ACDC and even attribution patching for circuit discovery. The original ACDC paper included a version of subnetwork probing, but that version was severely handicapped because it operated on the node level (structural pruning) rather than edge level. Adria is now on vacation, so I'm planning to get as far as I can running experiments before getting stuck somewhere and coming back to this after Thank...
