New framework enables comparison of sparse autoencoders across language models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework 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 and decompose dictionary-level discrepancies into latent contributions. It also characterizes relationships between various similarity measures and provides a method for joint asymptotic inference and simultaneous confidence bands, which has been tested across four language models to identify discrepancies and context-dependent changes.

IMPACT Provides a novel analytical tool for understanding and comparing internal representations within large language models.

    When Are Two SAE Latents the Same Feature?

    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-weighted optimal-transport plan under a specifi…
