Talk:Mechanistic Interpretability

Creating the Mechanistic Interpretability article

I started this page after consulting with the meta-page XAI/Interpretability in Talk:Explainable artificial intelligence#Mechanistic Interpretability. I believe that mech interp is a sufficient distinct movement and field of study, with a growing body of work (see main article), such that it warrants a separate page. I plan to continuously improve upon and maintain this page, and will respond to feedback. Thank you! JoNeedsSleep (talk) 03:28, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanistic Interpretability → Mechanistic interpretability – titles should be in sentence case (see MOS:TITLECAPS). Alenoach (talk) 08:03, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. I don't see why this would be controversial. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 14:32, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's not controversial indeed, but there is already a redirect page named "Mechanistic interpretability", so renaming it requires special permissions. Alenoach (talk) 14:58, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
