New framework compares sparse autoencoders by analyzing feature correspondence

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new framework has been developed to compare sparse autoencoders (SAEs) by connecting feature correspondence, dictionary differences, and uncertainty from evaluation data. This framework utilizes an energy-weighted optimal-transport plan to define dictionary-level discrepancies, break them down into latent contributions, and measure how each latent's mass is distributed. The research also characterizes relationships between various similarity measures and uses experiments on four language models to identify cross-seed discrepancies and context-dependent changes. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel method for analyzing and comparing sparse autoencoders, potentially improving model interpretability and development.

    When Are Two SAE Latents the Same Feature?

    arXiv:2611.05655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Comparing sparse autoencoders (SAEs) requires connecting feature correspondence, differences between whole dictionaries, and uncertainty from finite evaluation data. We develop a framework that connects these tasks through an energy…
