During BlackboxNLP we will hold a panel discussion on the state of interpretability in NLP. We are soliciting questions for this now, so if there is any topic you think would be interesting to discuss: this is your chance! forms.gle/8hHaQsmDC3RKWz…

BlackboxNLP has started with our first keynote by Jack Merullo! Come join us in the Jasmine room to learn about his talk on "Simple Mechanisms Underlying Complex Behaviors in Language Models".

We wrap up the day with a panel on the state of interpretability with 4 fantastic panellists: Jack Merullo, Dieuwke Hupkes, Marius Mosbach and Vera Liao!

I am happy to announce that our paper "Log probabilities are a reliable estimate of semantic plausibility in base and instruction-tuned language models" received the Best Paper Award at BlackboxNLP!! #EMNLP2024 Carina Kauf Anna Ivanova Alessandro Lenci Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦

BlackboxNLP will be co-located with #EMNLP2025 in Suzhou this November! 📷This edition will feature a new shared task on circuits/causal variable localization in LMs, details: blackboxnlp.github.io/2025/task If you're into mech interp and care about evaluation, please submit!

Also, join our discord for the shared-task on mechanistic interpretability of language models: discord.gg/yAZEBt2r
