SAEs reveal steerable features in antibody language models

Researchers have explored the use of Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) to understand and control antibody language models. They found that TopK SAEs can identify biologically relevant features but do not guarantee causal control over generation. Ordered SAEs, however, provide reliable identification of steerable features through a hierarchical structure, though they result in more complex activation patterns. AI

    Mechanistic Interpretability of Antibody Language Models Using SAEs

    arXiv:2512.05794v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are a mechanistic interpretability technique that have been used to provide insight into learned concepts within large protein language models. Here, we employ TopK and Ordered SAEs to investigate auto…
