• Title: Interval Effect Algebras and Holevo Instruments
• Authors: Stan Gudder,
• Abstract summary: This article begins with a study of convex effect-state spaces. We point out that such spaces are equivalent to interval effect algebras that generate an ordered linear space and possess an order-determining set of states. We then discuss operations and instruments on interval effect algebras under the assumption of an unrestrictive condition.

• Abstract: This article begins with a study of convex effect-state spaces. We point out that such spaces are equivalent to interval effect algebras that generate an ordered linear space and possess an order-determining set of states. We then discuss operations and instruments on interval effect algebras under the assumption of an unrestrictive condition. Effects measured by operations and sequential products of effects relative to operations are considered. Observables are introduced and coexistence of effects are discussed. We also present properties of sequential products of observables and conditioning of observables related to instruments. The final section is devoted to Holevo instruments. Pure and mixed Holevo operations are defined and extended to instruments. The Holevo sequential product of two observables is defined and the marginals of these products are computed. We define the commutant of two effects and derive its properties. Examples are given that illustrate the properties of previously presented concepts.

  We show that counterfactual reasoning is conceptually distinct from interventions. We propose a framework for generating true string counterfactuals. Our experiments demonstrate that the approach produces meaningful counterfactuals.

  This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization. We propose a representation learning method that induces disentanglement by simultaneously learning the latent factors. We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

• Is This the Subspace You Are Looking for? An Interpretability Illusion for Subspace Activation Patching [47.05588106164043]
  Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand model behaviors in terms of specific, interpretable features. Recent studies have explored subspace interventions as a way to manipulate model behavior and attribute the features behind it to given subspaces. We demonstrate that these two aims diverge, potentially leading to an illusory sense of interpretability.
