The highly influential framework of conceptual spaces provides a geometric way of representing knowledge. Instances are represented by points in a high-dimensional space and concepts are represented by regions in this space. Our recent…

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are known to learn an image representation that captures concepts relevant to the task, but do so in an implicit way that hampers model interpretability. However, one could argue that such a…

Hallucinations in deployed language models can have real consequences for downstream decisions in domains such as healthcare, legal, and financial services. In production, detection has to run on what the deployed system can see: the query,…

Reinforcement learning policies are typically represented by black-box neural networks, which are non-interpretable and not well-suited for safety-critical domains. To address both of these issues, we propose constrained normalizing flow…

Recent interpretability work often treats a feature as a single global direction, dictionary atom, or latent coordinate shared across contexts. We argue that this ontology can fail in obstructed representation spaces, where locally coherent…
