Your GNN is probably just an overcomplicated MLP (Tabular Leakage). We built SynthFin-AML to enforce strict causal boundaries. [P]

Standard graph neural network (GNN) evaluations often mask a critical flaw: temporal leakage. Our investigation into anti-money laundering models revealed widespread instances where GNNs effectively "look into the future" during training, leading to artificially inflated performance. To address this, we developed SynthFin-AML v10.0, a benchmark enforcing strict causal boundaries through a 3-snapshot architecture and distribution-aware data splitting. Initial results show GraphSAGE narrowly outperforms LightGBM, highlighting the value of graph structure when evaluated correctly. See "py-evoFE" for related work on automated feature engineering.

Mechanistic interpretability: a first paper on disentangling a convolutional neuron [R]

Recent independent research offers a novel approach to mechanistic interpretability, focusing on detailed analysis of individual neurons. This initial paper explores a 1x1 convolution within InceptionV1, revealing that the Hadamard product of a neuron’s receptive field and weight defines the patterns it detects. Through clustering these products, the study identifies monosemantic activations—cars, cats, dogs—and surprisingly, lesser-known activations like letters and faces. This technique illuminates a deliberate pattern within gradient descent, suggesting a nuanced organization of concepts. [https://pages.narang99.in/posts/2026-07-12-disentangling-mixed4
