How do we actually open the ML “black box”? Training data attribution, interpretability, and pre- vs post-training
...Can we trace those changes back to particular data or training stages?. + Reliability: How do we distinguish explanations that sound convincing from explanations that genuinely reflect a model’s behaviour? 🤔. I’d also appreciate recommendations for papers, tutorials,...
...things you want to automate, but GPT-6-Luna is not strong enough, and bigger models are too expensive, you might fine-tune one of the LFM3 models and use it locally for repetitive tasks.
