Do Sparse Autoencoders Learn Meaningful Concept Hierarchies?

Nils Grandien, David Steinmann, Felix Friedrich +1

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have become an important tool for unsupervised concept discovery in large models. To make the resulting feature spaces more interpretable and manageable,…

The Reward Was in Your Data All Along: Correcting Flow Matching with Discriminator-Guided RL

Nicolas Beltran-Velez, Felix Friedrich, Zhang Xiaofeng +4

Score- and flow-matching models often rely on preference-based reinforcement learning for two purposes: aligning with subjective preferences and, surprisingly, recovering propertie…

Every Eval Ever: A Unifying Schema and Community Repository for AI Evaluation Results

Jan Batzner, Sree Harsha Nelaturu, Damian Stachura +45

AI evaluations are widely used for testing and understanding progress. However, the diverse evaluators bring with them inconsistencies that challenge analysis and comparison. First…

No Safe Dose: How Training Data Drives Unsafe Image Generation

Felix Friedrich, Lukas Helff, Niharika Hegde +2

Text-to-image models trained on large-scale data often inevitably ingest unsafe content. While some people observe input-output amplifications, it remains unclear whether and how t…

ActivationReasoning: Logical Reasoning in Latent Activation Spaces

Lukas Helff, Ruben Härle, Wolfgang Stammer +6

Large language models (LLMs) excel at generating fluent text, but their internal reasoning remains opaque and difficult to control. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) make hidden activatio…

SLR: Automated Synthesis for Scalable Logical Reasoning

Lukas Helff, Ahmad Omar, Felix Friedrich +7

We introduce SLR, an end-to-end framework for systematic evaluation and training of Large Language Models (LLMs) via Scalable Logical Reasoning. Given a user's task specification,…
