Lately, I've needed to run some linear probes on neural LMs but couldn't find a tool that would streamline the process, so here's an attempt: lm_probe will train probes for classification tasks on PyTorch model layers. github.com/t-shoemaker/... I guess this my informal contribution to #chr2024?

[email protected] and I co-wrote this piece on why you are (probably) doing AI criticism wrong as a humanist and why we, in Critical AI Studies, need to do better methodologically than 'So I asked ChatGPT a question and now I have thoughts...' Now available on arXiv at doi.org/10.48550/arX...
