Why It Matters
Interpretable machine learning for Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly relies on sparse probing methods that identify small sets of neurons claimed to detect and causally influence behaviors such as factuality recall, safety alignment, and hallucination.

Original description
Interpretable machine learning for Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly relies on sparse probing methods that identify small sets of neurons claimed to detect and causally influence behaviors such as factuality recall, safety alignment, and hallucination. These claims have important implications for model auditing and behavioral steering, yet they are rarely tested against known failure modes of $L_1$-regularized probing in correlated, high-dimensional feature spaces. We propose a five-step diagnostic protocol covering feature correlation, bootstrap stability, sparse versus dense ranking...
