大模型可解释性新范式：从“回路分析”到“表征解耦”的方法论演进

引言：可解释性研究的范式转移

随着大语言模型（LLMs）参数量突破万亿级别，传统的可解释性方法面临根本性挑战。早期基于"回路分析"（Circuit Analysis）的方法尝试在Transformer架构中定位特定功能的计算路径，但这种"局部解剖"策略在大模型面前显得力不从心。近年来，表征解耦（Representation Disentanglement）逐渐成为可解释性研究的新范式，它不再追求追踪具体的计算路径，而是试图理解高维表征空间中的语义结构。本文将深入探讨这一方法论演进，并通过详细的代码实验展示两种范式的对比与融合。

Transformer的回路结构解析

回路分析基于一个核心假设：神经网络中的特定功能由离散的计算回路实现。在Transformer架构中，这通常体现为注意力头和MLP层的特定组合：

回路分析的瓶颈

尽管回路分析在小模型上取得了显著成果，但在大模型中面临根本挑战：

1. 组合爆炸：百亿参数模型中的可能回路数量呈指数级增长
2. 分布式表征：单个概念可能分散在数百万个神经元中
3. 涌现特性：大模型中出现小模型不具备的计算模式
4. 动态适应：同一回路在不同上下文中执行不同功能

表征解耦的关键优势

1. 维度约简：将百万维表征映射到几十个概念方向
2. 跨层对齐：发现不同层次间的概念对应关系
3. 可操纵性：通过概念方向编辑模型行为
4. 可扩展性：方法复杂度与模型规模线性相关

结论：走向透明的人工智能

从回路分析到表征解耦的可解释性研究范式演进，反映了我们对大模型理解从"微观解剖"到"宏观架构"的认知转变。表征解耦不仅提供了更高效的分析工具，更重要的是，它开启了模型可操纵性的新可能——我们可以通过编辑概念方向来精确控制模型行为。
