• Abstract: Inferential relations govern our concept use. In order to understand a concept it has to be located in a space of implications. There are different kinds of conditions for statements, i.e. that the conditions represent different kinds of explanations, e.g. causal or conceptual explanations. The crucial questions is: How can the conditionality of language use be represented. The conceptual background of representation in models is discussed and in the end I propose how implications of propositional logic and conceptual determinations can be represented in a model of a neural network.

• A Complexity-Based Theory of Compositionality [53.025566128892066]
  In AI, compositional representations can enable a powerful form of out-of-distribution generalization. Here, we propose a formal definition of compositionality that accounts for and extends our intuitions about compositionality. The definition is conceptually simple, quantitative, grounded in algorithmic information theory, and applicable to any representation.

  We show how to extend the formalization of the linear representation hypothesis to represent features (e.g., is_animal) as vectors. We use the formalization to prove a relationship between the hierarchical structure of concepts and the geometry of their representations. We validate these theoretical results on the Gemma and LLaMA-3 large language models, estimating representations for 900+ hierarchically related concepts using data from WordNet.

• Conceptual and Unbiased Reasoning in Language Models [98.90677711523645]
  We propose a novel conceptualization framework that forces models to perform conceptual reasoning on abstract questions. We show that existing large language models fall short on conceptual reasoning, dropping 9% to 28% on various benchmarks. We then discuss how models can improve since high-level abstract reasoning is key to unbiased and generalizable decision-making.

  We formulate an approach where the type of explanation produced is guided by a specification. Two examples are discussed: explanations for Bayesian networks using the theory of argumentation, and explanations for graph neural networks. The approach is motivated by a theory of explanation in the philosophy of science, and it is related to current questions in the philosophy of science on the role of machine learning.

  We extend the notion of a causal model with a representation of the state of an agent. On the side of the object language, we add operators to express knowledge and the act of observing new information. We provide a sound and complete axiomatization of the logic, and discuss the relation of this framework to causal team semantics.
