Tom McCoy: 🤖🧠NEW PAPER🧠🤖 What is the relationship between neural networks & symbolic systems? Based on evidence from mechanistic interpretability, we argue for a quasi-symbolic view of cognition: Neural nets …
Tom McCoy: This paper is a review-slash-opinion piece. We first review evidence that neural networks trained in AI display emergent symbolic representations, algorithms, and learnig. 2/n
Tom McCoy: On the side of representations, meaningful symbolic units can often be found inside the vector representations of neural networks as shown by (e.g.) sparse autoencoders, additive analogies, and Ten…
