Kempner Institute: predicting LLM compositionality failures from representational geometry

najoungkim · x · 2026-11-07

The Kempner Institute published a blog post on research led by Jennifer Lu on predicting LLM compositionality failures. Their Adversarial Concept Search method uses representational geometry to anticipate which scenarios a model will fail on, letting evaluation and intervention focus on likely error cases. A concise, accessible read on the approach and findings.
