Call for Papers: Mechanistic Interpretability & Neuro-symbolic Approaches by-design: the MeMo Workshop

[fabiomassi...@gmail.com]

Willing to participate to a workshop where you can discuss work in progress and blue sky ideas ?

Are you surprised about the ability of LLMs to perform complex reasoning tasks?

Do you have a particular keenness for cracking the code of their inner workings?

If the answer to the three questions is yes,

 

this is the workshop for you! 

 

Observing properties and understanding the inner workings are two sides of the same coin. Another way is possible (e.g., Position Paper: MeMo: Towards Language Models with Associative Memory Mechanisms - ACL Anthology)!

 

The workshop aims to accept focused contributions on:

• Mechanistic Interpretability by-design
• Neuro-symbolic approaches by-design 

Work in progress and blue sky ideas are in the spirit of the workshop.  

 

Your contribution must be between four pages and six pages, excluding references, and should be prepared using the Overleaf Submission Template. The proceedings will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Please submit your contribution via EasyChair at the designated submission link. The reviewing process is single-blind.
