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.

arXiv:2606. 02385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have found success parsing neural representations into interpretable concepts, providing a basis for understanding and control.

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.

arXiv:2608. 00859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KANs) replace scalar edge weights with learnable univariate functions parameterized by multiple basis coefficients.

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.
By Hamish Ogilvy
arXiv:2607. 20652v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models are thought to exhibit the phenomenon of superposition, representing many more features than dimensions in their residual streams.

arXiv:2606. 02608v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a Marchenko--Pastur (MP) random-matrix approach to pruning deep neural networks with very small post-pruning fine-tuning budgets.

arXiv:2607. 17425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) compress model activations into sparse codes, but equal reconstruction error and sparsity can preserve different linearly decodable signals.
