Topological Control of LLMs: A Route to Trustworthy AI

1+ hour, 44+ min ago  (855+ words) Topological defects are easily detected which creates a path for investigating LLM inaccuracies and errors. In this post, we will attempt to illustrate an approach for detecting topological defects and interpreting them. For simplicity, we will study the simplest transformation…...
