A Mathematical Framework for Transformer Circuits (2021)
One avenue for addressing these issues is mechanistic interpretability, attempting to reverse engineer the detailed computations performed by transformers, similar to how a programmer might try to reverse engineer complicated binaries into human-readable source code. If this were possible, it could potentially provide a more systematic approach to explaining current safety problems, identifying new ones, and perhaps even anticipating the safety problems of powerful future models that have not yet been built.
