arXiv:2606. 27321v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have become a leading tool for interpreting the representations of vision foundation models, decomposing their polysemantic activations into a larger set of sparse, more monosemantic features.

arXiv:2606. 06333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) are widely used for mechanistic interpretability in large language models, yet their formulation assigns each latent feature a single decoder direction, implicitly assuming features to be one-dimensional.

Abstract: An overcomplete code packs $F$ features into $d<F$ dimensions, so linear readout of one feature picks up cross-talk from the others, bounded below...

arXiv:2606. 14040v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are typically trained to reconstruct the \textbf{entire} residual stream through a sparse dictionary, implicitly assuming that all activation content is amenable to sparse, monosemantic decomposition.

Modern transformers pair impressive capabilities with substantial memory and compute demands. Low-rank weight factorization reduces both while keeping the matrices dense, and thus efficient on standar...
arXiv:2608. 10198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent-space communication allows heterogeneous vision-language model agents to exchange continuous representations without serializing visual and reasoning states into text.

arXiv:2607. 05531v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) frequently suffer from posterior collapse, a failure mode in which the approximate posterior converges to the prior, rendering the latent code uninformative.

arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

arXiv:2607. 02893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-bit quantization shrinks language models but treats precision as a single global hyper-parameter: every weight uses the same bit-width.
