Researchers have developed a new metric called the Tversky Monosemanticity Score (TMS) to better assess the quality of explanations generated by Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) in mechanistic interpretability. Unlike previous methods that relied on external concept labels or pretrained embedding models, TMS is a label-free metric that measures monosemanticity by analyzing the coherence of binarized SAE latent activations. This new score is less sensitive to encoder anisotropy and aligns with existing indicators of monosemanticity, offering a more robust evaluation across different base models and SAE training regimes.
