CircuitKIT : Circuit Discovery, Evaluation, and Application Toolkit for Mechanistic Interpretability

Pratinav Seth, Hem Gosalia, Aditya Kasliwal, Vinay Kumar Sankarapu

Circuit analysis can support not only model explanation but also downstream interventions such as pruning, editing, steering, and selective fine-tuning. However, conducting such analyses currently requires stitching together separate implementations for discovery, evaluation, and intervention, as well as hand-authoring the contrastive prompts required by many discovery methods. This fragmentation makes methods difficult to compare and limits their application beyond canonical tasks. We introduce CircuitKIT, a source-available library that connects the circuit-analysis workflow through a typed, serializable representation. CircuitKIT provides a suite of discovery algorithms, declarative interfaces for mapping structured data into discovery tasks, complementary circuit diagnostics, and downstream application modules. Together, these components provide common infrastructure for conducting and comparing circuit analyses. The library, examples, notebooks, and documentation are released at https://github.com/Lexsi-Labs/CircuitKIT .

Faithfulness to Refusal: A Causal Audit of Neuron Selectors

Ananth Eswar, Pratinav Seth, Utsav Avaiya, Vinay Kumar Sankarapu

Attribution scores increasingly identify which neuron rows of a language model matter for applications such as pruning, interpretability, and editing for safety, yet whether they identify causally important rows is rarely tested directly. We address this with two paired audits bu…

Is EEG-to-Text Feasible in Real-World Scenarios? An In-Depth Analysis Using a Neuropsychology-Inspired Benchmark

Zihan Zhang, Yu Bao, Xiao Ding, Tianyi Jiang, Kai Xiong

Translating brain signals into text could restore communication for people with severe paralysis, yet practically usable systems to date rely on invasive electrocorticography (ECoG). Electroencephalography (EEG) offers a non-invasive alternative, and EEG-to-text (EEG2Text) has be…

The Boundaries of Automation: A Theory of Persistent Human Participation

Fares Fourati, Hinrich Schütze, Eyke Hüllermeier, Iryna Gurevych

The rapid progress of AI has intensified the long-standing pursuit of automation: replacing human participation with algorithms wherever possible. Implicit in this pursuit is the assumption that humans remain in the loop only because current AI systems are not yet sufficiently ca…

Towards a Phonology-Informed Evaluation of Multilingual TTS

Sneha Ray Barman, Neeraj Kumar Sharma, Shakuntala Mahanta

Neural TTS systems can sound natural across languages, but naturalness does not guarantee the preservation of sound contrasts that distinguish words from their grammatical forms. Standard metrics like MOS do not test for this. We propose a classifier-based framework that audits T…

Inside the Unfair Judge: A Mechanistic Interpretability Account of LLM-as-Judge Bias

Zixiang Xu, Sixian Li, Huaxing Liu, Xiang Wang, Shuai Li, Zirui Song, et al.

Existing studies of LLM-as-judge scoring bias work predominantly at the input-output level: they perturb inputs, measure score deltas, and propose prompt-level mitigations. We argue that the same biases admit a representation-level account in the judge's hidden state, complementa…
