arXiv:2607. 18625v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision Mamba models replace quadratic self-attention with linear complexity selective state space models (SSMs), emerging as efficient visual backbones.
By Jin Yu, Juyoun Park
Vision Mamba models replace quadratic self-attention with linear complexity selective state space models (SSMs), emerging as efficient visual backbones. However, MambaOut demonstrates that a Gated CNN block can match or exceed VMamba on image classification, questioning the necessity of SSMs for vision.

The study investigates whether transferring relational structure from human mental representations to deep neural networks (DNNs) can improve fine‑grained alignment between the two. Using unsupervised Gromov‑Wasserstein optimal transport, the authors show that fine‑tuning pre‑trained DNNs with Relational Knowledge Distillation (RKD) brings the networks close enough to human representations to align at the individual‑object level on a test set of concepts not seen during training. The improvement is driven mainly by a more human‑like global structure of category distances, while local nearest‑neighbor overlap remains largely unchanged.

Understanding the relationship between deep visual representations and the human visual system is a fundamental challenge in computational neuroscience. While modern vision models achieve strong performance in image recognition, their correspondence with the hierarchical organization of the human visual cortex remains an open question.
arXiv:2608. 14922v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability has recently expanded to Vision Transformers (ViTs), with Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) increasingly used as post-hoc tools to decompose internal representations into sparse and more interpretable features.
