Weakening Neurons: An Input-Output Functionality in Transformers with Outsize Influence

The learned input-output behavior of GLU-based neurons in large language models (LLMs) is analyzed and it is found that weakening neurons display surprising behavior: even though there are few, they activate often and have a large influence on model behavior.

Can Dialects Be Steered Like Languages? Sparse Neurons and Distributed Directions in Arabic LLMs

Neuron steering reinforces dialect in some varieties when the prompt is already dialectal but cannot induce it from MSA prompts, whereas vector steering succeeds in both settings, and Arabic dialects are therefore steerable mainly through distributed rather than localized representations.

The Count Is There, but Misaligned: Understanding and Correcting Counting Failures in VLMs

A detector-guided self-correction method is proposed that selectively re-prompts the model only when an internal error detector predicts failure, and a simple inference-time intervention improves counting accuracy by up to 15.6 absolute percentage points.

A Robust Evaluation of Probe Robustness: Lessons for Reliable OOD Uncertainty Quantification

ProbeDrift is introduced, a systematic evaluation framework for supervised uncertainty probes covering a wide range of OOD settings across models, tasks, and distributional shifts, and it is argued that robust uncertainty estimation requires robust evaluation.
