Our readingWhat is a korrent?

Complete reverse-engineering of neural networks is a less promising research direction than studying model biology and applying interpretability usefully

Drawn from what Neel Nanda said

What this subject means

neural networks The architecture almost all modern machine learning is built on, and what changes when it gets deeper.

What Neel Nanda actually said

  1. Neel Nanda Runs the mechanistic interpretability team at Google DeepMind
    I'm now fairly pessimistic about ambitious interpretability (i.e. complete reverse-engineering), and I'm excited about model biology (studying qualitative high-level properties of models) and applied interpretability (rigorously doing useful things with interp).
