ECCCos from the Black Box
Faithful Model Explanations through Energy-Constrained Conformal Counterfactuals
ECCCo
is a new way to generate faithful model explanations through counterfactuals that are as plausible as the underlying model permits. Companion post to our AAAI 2024 paper.

Spurious Sparks of AGI
On the Unsurprising Finding of Patterns in Latent Spaces
This post questions the idea that finding patterns in latent embeddings of models is indicative of AGI or even surprising. I illustrate this using examples from Economics, a discipline that does not typically anthropomorphize the models it produces.
