Researchers have introduced a new metric called Feature Nonlocality (FNL) to better understand the semantic abstractness of features within Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) used in Large Language Models (LLMs). FNL measures the entropy of positional influence on a feature's activation, helping to distinguish high-level conceptual features from simple token-driven ones. This metric has shown promise in evaluating mechanistic explanations and has been applied to improve performance on tasks like the MATH-500 benchmark by steering high-FNL features. AI
IMPACT Provides a new tool for understanding and potentially improving LLM interpretability and performance on complex tasks.
