Mechanistic Circuit Identification for Controllable Data Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.24065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent advances in data synthesis aim to curate high-quality datasets, most generation pipelines still rely on heuristic prompt-based control. This black-box paradigm provides limited insight into how individual samples interact with a model's underlying learning dynamics. To bridge this gap, we propose a circuit-grounded framework that connects training-dynamics-based data valuation with mechanistic interpretability (MI). Specifically, we conceptualize data quality along three complementary utility axes, learnability, challenge, and alig
