It is less clear whether the written reasoning actually explains how the model reaches its answer. The authors, mostly at Anthropic, built a set of interventions to test this. They cut the CoT short, inserted an error into it, reworded it, or… 2. **[Studying Large Language Model Generalization with Influence Functions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/grosse-2023-studying-large-language-model-generalization/)** *(2023 · 105 citations)* Knowing which training examples drive a given behavior in a large language model could help researchers anticipate and reduce its risks. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Device Placement Optimization with Reinforcement Learning ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.04972) arXiv:1706.04972 · no summary yet**Azalia Mirhoseini et al.*2017 · 343 citations* 2.
