Aligning transformer circuit mechanisms to neural representations in relational reasoning

2025-10-31

Abstract excerpt

Relational reasoning, the capacity to understand how elements relate to one another, is a defining feature of human intelligence, yet its computational basis remains unclear. Here, we combined human neuroimaging (7T fMRI) with artificial neural network modeling to identify circuit-level analogues of human reasoning computations. Using the Latin Square Task, we found that humans and transformers were able to genera...
