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… ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [David Bau](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/david-bau/) ×2 - [Jiuding Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiuding-sun/) ×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.
