I am a PhD student at CS faculty at the Technion and advised by Yonatan Belinkov. I am interested in improving the truthfulness and safety of LLMs. My research focuses on hallucinations, safety, and interpretability in LLMs. I received the Council for Higher Education (VATAT) Scholarship for PhD students in data science and artificial intelligence.
If you find it interesting, feel free to reach out!
New paper - Seeing the Forest for the Trees: Emergent Agreement from Individual Conversations!!! - showing how agreement between LLM agents is hard to see in a single conversation’s internals, but when aggregated across conversations, behavior follows a Markov process and the internal representations follow it through a power law.
