Final presentation + project guidance

Written on 01.07.2025 17:20 by Kate McCurdy

Thanks for attending today's check-in. We're now in the last month of the project!

Final presentations are scheduled for Monday July 14, 10 am, C7 4 Aquarium. Please prepare a 15-20 minute presentation of your project and be ready for questions and discussion. 

Your final project submission is due on July 31; you can upload it via the CMS. Please submit your code as well as a 6-8 page paper in ACL format describing the goals, methods, and results of your project. Your code should be reproducible --- please describe all steps needed to replicate your analysis in a README.

Both the presentation and written project should address the following questions:

  • Goals
    • What grammatical category are you studying, and in which language?
    • Do you have a working hypothesis? What do you expect to see?
  • Methods
    • Which model/s are you studying? 
    • What behavioral techniques do you use to assess the model, i.e. which prompts / tasks?
      • Please include example inputs / outputs for clarity.
    • Which interpretability techniques do you use to assess the model? Which aspects of the model architecture do they focus on?
      • Please include code snippets or high-level algorithm descriptions to highlight key aspects of your analysis pipeline.
  • Results
    • What is the BEHAVIORAL evidence that this model has learned the grammatical category of interest?
    • What insights can your INTERPRETABILITY research provide as to how this category is represented and/or processed by the model? Do they fit with your initial expectations?
    • (For the written paper) Please contextualize your findings with respect to any relevant literature. Have other researchers found similar or different results? 
    • Outline potential directions for future work
