CAMeLS-Group: fifth session in Copenhagen Advanced Machine Learning Study Group

Welcome to the fifth instalment of the Copenhagen Advanced Machine Learning Study Group (CAMeLS-Group).

We meet every second Monday to read and discuss a machine learning paper together at the "Snaren" reading area on the fourth floor of the Copenhagen Municipality Central Library.

In a time of endless online chatter and AI-induced attention decay, we’re trying something entirely old: reading and discussing together in person. The idea is simple: bring your laptop or a printed copy of the paper - BUT DO NOT READ IT IN ADVANCE!

During the session, we read each section individually at the same time, then pause to discuss it together before moving on. Once we’ve finished the paper, we come together for a broader discussion of the paper as a whole.

Recommended prerequisites: some background in ML or related fields, at a level where you can read a paper in your favourite area. Don’t feel scared off if you have not yet graduated, but we will read research papers.

In this session, we will be reading the paper: On the Biology of a Large Language Model

The paper can be found here: https://transformer-circuits.pub/2025/attribution-graphs/biology.html
