Concepts Whisper: Spectral Anti-Concentration and the Dual Geometry of Transformer Representations
Publisher summary· verbatim
arXiv:2605.01609v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We find that transformer concept representations systematically anti-concentrate in the spectral tail of the unembedding covariance, encoding word-level concepts in low-variance directions across a 17-model core suite and an expanded set of 2
