The paper proposes a new unsupervised safety detection method for large language models that relies on anomaly detection rather than supervised training on unsafe data. By leveraging local sparsity in a linear representation space obtained via a sparse autoencoder, the authors develop a framework for locally masked SAE-based anomaly detection, providing theoretical support and empirical validation across multiple architectures and datasets. When calibrated with only 1% out-of-distribution data, the method achieves near‑optimal performance while using just 1–2% of SAE neurons for computation.
The paper proposes a novel unsupervised safety detection method for large language models that relies on local sparsity in a linear representation space recovered via a sparse autoencoder. By masking SAE neurons based on shared active support among nearby points, the authors develop a locally masked anomaly detection framework with theoretical backing. Experiments across multiple architectures and datasets—including capability‑testing and safety‑specific sets—show that using only 1–2% of SAE neurons and a small amount of out‑of‑distribution data yields near‑optimal safety detection performance.
