2025-12-18 | Cross-linguistic Quantifier Scope Probe

Goal: Inverse Quantifier Scope: Start MATS Application Style Project

Summary: Just finished finals! Now to try and be 'pragmatic' and work on a project

Work sessions

In Out
12:00 13:05

Goals

  1. Follow Neel Nanda's guide on how to work on an interpretability project
  2. Note: I think my focus on linguistics may be very different from what Neel's MATS stream is about; nevertheless I think it will be a good opportunity to start working on a novel research idea in a constrained time-box

Progress

  1. 1 hour brainstorming session with GPT on roadmap for executing the experiment
  2. Started looking into the interpretability technique (linear probe) contenders and models (Gemma, Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek)
  3. A new TODO is to understand how Reasoning models work mathematically (high level intuition)
