Xudong Zhu - Academic Website

Website GitHub Google Scholar ORCID

Welcome to my personal academic website repository! This site showcases my research, publications, and academic journey in Computer Science.

🎯 About Me

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at The Ohio State University, advised by Prof. Zhihui Zhu. My research focuses on mechanistic interpretability of large language models, with particular emphasis on:

  • Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) for feature discovery and representation analysis
  • Difference-in-Means Techniques combined with SAEs for feature validation
  • Model Geometry and reasoning processes in neural networks
  • Self-reflection mechanisms in language models

🔬 Research Highlights

Current Projects

  • Self-Reflection in Language Models: Investigating emergence and control mechanisms
  • SAE-based Feature Discovery: Developing methods for interpretable feature extraction
  • Statistical Validation: Combining difference-in-means with neural network analysis

Recent Publications

  • "From Emergence to Control: Probing and Modulating Self-Reflection in Language Models" (arXiv 2025)
  • "Alleviating subgraph-induced oversmoothing in link prediction via coarse graining" (2025)
  • "FCDS: Fusing Constituency and Dependency Syntax into Document-Level Relation Extraction" (2024)
