Are you stressfully working for the May 25th ARR deadline?
Don't worry, you can relax afterwards by writing a short paper on work in progress and blue sky ideas over Mechanistic Interpretability and Neuro-symbolic Approaches by-design ( https://sites.google.com/view/memo-workshop/ MeMo Workshop) (deadline: 31/5/2026 12:00 PM AoE)
Are you surprised about the ability of LLMs to perform complex reasoning tasks?
Do you have a particular keenness for cracking the code of their inner workings?
If the answer to the three questions is yes,
this is the workshop for you!
Observing properties and understanding the inner workings are two sides of the same coin. Another way is possible (e.g., https://aclanthology.org/2025.findings-acl.785/ Position Paper: MeMo: Towards Language Models with Associative Memory Mechanisms - ACL Anthology)!
The workshop aims to accept focused contributions on:
* Mechanistic Interpretability by-design * Neuro-symbolic approaches by-design
Work in progress and blue sky ideas are in the spirit of the workshop.
Your contribution must be between four pages and six pages, excluding references, and should be prepared using the https://www.overleaf.com/read/gyxkgssbstfr#85e729 Overleaf Submission Template.
