机制可解释性旨在揭示神经网络能力背后的计算机制，以实现具体的科学与工程目标。尽管该领域已取得进展，但诸多开放问题仍需解决，方能实现科学与实际应用的效益：现有方法亟需概念与实践层面的改进以获得更深层次洞见；必须明确如何将这些方法应用于具体目标；同时，该领域还需应对影响并受其影响的社会技术挑战。本文展望机制可解释性的前沿，讨论可能需优先解决的开放问题。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand the computational mechanisms underlying neural networks' capabilities in order to accomplish concrete scientific and engineering goals. Progress in this field thus promises to provide greater assurance over AI system behavior and shed light on exciting scientific questions about the nature of intelligence. Despite recent progress toward these goals, there are many open problems in the field that require solutions before many scientific and practical benefits can be realized: Our methods require both conceptual and practical improvements to reveal deeper insights; we must figure out how best to apply our methods in pursuit of specific goals; and the field must grapple with socio-technical challenges that influence and are influenced by our work. This forward-facing review discusses the current frontier of mechanistic interpretability and the open problems that the field may benefit from prioritizing.
