Researchers have developed a new method called Support Operation Factorization (SO-OPF) to analyze frozen vision encoders, aiming to precisely identify what changes and where within the encoder's operations. This technique addresses the issue of "operation laundering," where different operations might be incorrectly attributed to the same analytical slot. SO-OPF separates the questions of whether an encoder can compose held-out bindings and whether that composition can be recovered from simple labels. Experiments with DINOv3 features on Shapes3D-Extended and COCO datasets showed high accuracy in recovering factorial assignments, but a rebuilt MuJoCo substrate revealed limitations, indicating renderer-specific failure boundaries rather than universal recovery from flat labels.
