It also addresses two practical obstacles: models emit token strings rather than discrete choices, and their answers shift with prompt wording. 2. **[Model Directions, Not Words: Mechanistic Topic Models Using Sparse Autoencoders](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zheng-2026-model-directions-not-words-mechanistic/)** *(2026)* Classic topic models such as LDA work on word counts, and most neural variants still present topics as ranked word lists. ## All works 10 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. **[Evaluating the Moral Beliefs Encoded in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/scherrer-2023-evaluating-moral-beliefs-encoded-llms/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Nino Scherrer, Claudia Shi, Amir Feder, et al.*2023 · 129 citations* 2. **[Adapting Neural Networks for the Estimation of Treatment Effects ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.02120) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Claudia Shi, David M.
