| Challenge: | Existing research on large language models (LLMs) has focused on performance or representational properties, but it remains unclear whether these differences reflect language-specific parameters or a shared mechanism. |
| Approach: | They propose to localize and compare model parameters that support mathematical reasoning across languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed analysis shows that the model parameters in English and lower-resource languages exhibit partial cross-lingual overlap with systematic language-dependent differences. |
