• Abstract summary: We propose a framework for interpreting continuous prompts by decomposing them into human-readable concepts. We employ GPT-4o to generate a concept pool and choose potential candidate concepts that are discriminative and representative. Experiments demonstrate that our framework can achieve similar results as the original P-tuning and word-based approaches.

• Abstract: Continuous prompts have become widely adopted for augmenting performance across a wide range of natural language tasks. However, the underlying mechanism of this enhancement remains obscure. Previous studies rely on individual words for interpreting continuous prompts, which lacks comprehensive semantic understanding. Drawing inspiration from Concept Bottleneck Models, we propose a framework for interpreting continuous prompts by decomposing them into human-readable concepts. Specifically, to ensure the feasibility of the decomposition, we demonstrate that a corresponding concept embedding matrix and a coefficient matrix can always be found to replace the prompt embedding matrix. Then, we employ GPT-4o to generate a concept pool and choose potential candidate concepts that are discriminative and representative using a novel submodular optimization algorithm. Experiments demonstrate that our framework can achieve similar results as the original P-tuning and word-based approaches using only a few concepts while providing more plausible results.

  Instead of replacing a concept, can we enhance or suppress the concept itself? We introduce ScalingConcept, a simple yet effective method to scale decomposed concepts up or down in real input without introducing new elements. More importantly, ScalingConcept enables a variety of novel zero-shot applications across image and audio domains.

  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have been proposed to address the 'black-box' problem of deep neural networks. We propose a novel CBM approach -- called Discover-then-Name-CBM (DN-CBM) -- that inverts the typical paradigm. Our concept extraction strategy is efficient, since it is agnostic to the downstream task, and uses concepts already known to the model.

  Parsimonious Concept Engineering (PaCE) is a novel activation engineering framework for alignment. We construct a large-scale concept dictionary in the activation space, in which each atom corresponds to a semantic concept. We show that PaCE achieves state-of-the-art alignment performance while maintaining linguistic capabilities.
