Minimum Description Length Probing

Probing approach that explicitly controls probe complexity via information-theoretic criteria

Related by similarity (8)

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

  • Related to variational free energy; compressibility corresponds to complexity reduction in structure learning
  • Earlier interpretability method applying classifiers to DNN hidden representations; shares complexity-accuracy dilemma with causal abstraction

    Top-down interpretability approach studying linguistic properties at various residual stream stages; contrasted with the paper's bottom-up mechanistic approach

    Used to evaluate representation quality across VTAB tasks
  • Probing approach avoiding supervision to sidestep complexity-accuracy tradeoff
  • Method of using base models (no post-training) to observe spontaneous self-referential behaviors without confound of memorized introspection language.
  • Probesconcept0.711
    Interpretability tools that decode information from internal model activations; here, linear probes are used for data attribution.
