Working with GPT-J-6B, the authors compare three ways of reading that information out of a single hidden state taken at one layer and one position. 2. **[The Quest for the Right Mediator: Surveying Mechanistic Interpretability for NLP Through the Lens of Causal Mediation Analysis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mueller-2026-quest-right-mediator-surveying-mechanistic/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* Research on mechanistic interpretability (MI) of language models is fragmented. Studies use bespoke evaluations, lack a shared theoretical basis, and rarely define the elementary causal units that make up a "mechanism." This survey, published in Computational Linguistics, treats MI as recovering causal graphs that… ## All works 4 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. **[Future Lens: Anticipating Subsequent Tokens from a Single Hidden State](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pal-2023-future-lens-anticipating-subsequent-tokens/) [Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/)**Koyena Pal, Jiuding Sun, Andrew Yuan, et al.*2023 · 49 citations* 2. **[The Quest for the Right Mediator: Surveying Mechanistic Interpretability for NLP Through the Lens of Causal Mediation Analysis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mueller-2026-quest-right-mediator-surveying-mechanistic/) [Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/)**Aaron Mueller, Jannik Brinkmann, Millicent Li, et al.*2026 · 7 citations* 3. **[HyperDAS: Towards Automating Mechanistic Interpretability with Hypernetworks ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.10894) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Jiuding Sun et al.*2025 · 4 citations* 4. **[Shepherd: Enabling Programmable Meta-Agents via Reversible Agentic Execution Traces ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.10913) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Simon Yu et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [David Bau](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/david-bau/) ×2 - [Koyena Pal](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/koyena-pal/) ×2 - [Aaron Mueller](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aaron-mueller/) - [Arnab Sen Sharma](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/arnab-sen-sharma/) - [Byron C.
