Portrait of Weilun Xu

Weilun Xu Alun

M.Sc. Digital Humanities · EPFL · Lausanne

I study how humans and machines learn latent structure,and what that structure allows us to explain.

I approach this question through machine learning, mechanistic interpretability and cognitive science. I study the causal role of internal representations in reasoning and behaviour by developing computational models and intervention methods. I also want to understand how architectural choices influence what a system learns and how it reasons.

I’m looking for research opportunities (including PhD and industry positions) in mechanistic interpretability, LLMs for social science, and computational cognitive science.
