Neuron Populations Exhibit Divergent Selectivity with Scale [R]
Researchers studied universal neurons across neural networks, finding that as models scale, these neurons increase in number but occupy a shrinking fraction of all neurons. They become more selective and monosemantic with scale. The findings relate to scaling laws and specialization. You can explore the community's thoughts on these results.
Key takeaways
- Universal neurons scale sublinearly with model size.
- They become more selective and monosemantic with scale.
- Findings relate to scaling laws and specialization.
