Hi, I'm Ecaterina ^_^ my current interests:
☆ mech interp
☆ learning, exploring, and playing around with new concepts
☆ research sprints
☆ going down rabbit holes ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ ₊˚⊹
˙⋆✮ LessWrong articles (research sprints) ⋆˚࿔ > When talked into harm, a model blames the answer, not itself (an interpretability study of guilt vs shame) [article/repo] - Neel Nanda stream application (Winter 2027) > No sign of backtracking in latent reasoning: the final answer simply settles in instead [article/repo] > The imposters among us: function vectors that ace every check and do the wrong task (in search of circularity) [article/repo] > A problem with three correct answers. Which, how, and when does a model choose? [article/repo] > Whack-a-mole with a broken hammer: does a model internally track its automaton state?
