Causal Analysis Framework

Multi-stage framework for identifying and validating knowledge-critical neurons in AI models.

Neuron Identification

Isolate predictive neurons using integrated gradients and knowledge probing tasks for factual correctness.

A close-up of an abstract textured surface featuring irregular patterns resembling neural networks or biological structures. The surface appears metallic with reflective qualities and intricate grooves.

Causal Intervention

Selectively deactivate high-impact neurons to test factual degradation and observe knowledge drift.

Compare attribution methods for consistency in identifying knowledge-critical neurons against human-annotated rankings.
