arXiv:2606. 18538v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One of the major difficulties in the mechanistic interpretability of neural networks is the occurrence of polysemanticity, which suggests that each neuron is typically responsible for multiple different tasks, impeding a clean interpretation of their function.

arXiv:2607. 04800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks are thought to represent concepts as directions in their activation space, and superposition lets them encode more concepts than they have dimensions.

arXiv:2604. 00208v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Comparing internal representations is a central goal in neuroscience and machine learning, but standard linear alignment metrics (Representational Similarity Analysis, Centered Kernel Alignment, and linear regression) are frequently applied to neural activity coordinates rather than on the underlying features.
