The paper introduces a training‑adaptive convolutional sparse coding (CSC) framework that learns the sparsity coefficient jointly with network parameters using an unfolded FISTA optimization. By treating the coefficient as a differentiable variable, the method balances information retention and compression through an information bottleneck perspective, promoting compact yet task‑relevant representations. A label‑free post‑training strategy further adjusts compression for corrupted inputs, yielding competitive accuracy on clean data and enhanced robustness to perturbations on CIFAR and ImageNet.

arXiv:2606. 27941v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) provide useful decompositions of Transformer residual streams, but their learned features are usually named post hoc rather than directly connected to the Transformer's token vocabulary.
