The 🍃MINT 2024: Workshop on Foundation Model Interventions has been accepted @NeurIPS2024 🎉 Exciting research, a fantastic speaker lineup with Atticus Geiger hardmaru Jacob Steinhardt Fernanda Viégas, space for discussion, and more! sites.google.com/view/mint-2024

We'll focus on understanding the inner workings ⚙️ of foundation models and identifying actionable mechanisms involved in generation. For example, recent studies have shown promise directly intervening on model activations or low-rank weight tuning for fine-grained control 🎛️

This workshop aims to bring together researchers to explore methods for improving the controllability of foundation models and developing a better understanding of their behavior and how to prevent misuse. More information and updates here: sites.google.com/view/mint-2024
