arXiv:2607. 08605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising technique for mechanistic interpretability by learning a set of sparse latent features in large models, each of which encodes a distinct concept.

arXiv:2602. 02948v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Inverse problems are fundamental to many scientific and engineering disciplines; they arise when one seeks to reconstruct hidden, underlying quantities from noisy measurements.

arXiv:2606. 16193v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on vision-language tasks, yet their internal visual representations remain difficult to interpret.

arXiv:2606. 14990v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are standard tools for mechanistic interpretability, but current SAE families are constrained by fixed encoder nonlinearities such as ReLU, JumpReLU, and TopK.

Diffusion-based generative video compression has emerged as a promising paradigm to improve perceptual quality, where latent frames are required to be encoded efficiently while serving as denoising conditions. However, existing methods neither carefully design reference and quality structures during latent coding nor account for the impact of frame-level quality variation on denoising procedure, which limits coding efficiency and aggravates artifact propagation during generative reconstruction.
