Sanity Checks for Sparse Autoencoders: Do SAEs Beat Random Baselines?
Anton Korznikov, Andrey Galichin, Alexey Dontsov +3
Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising tool for interpreting neural networks by decomposing their activations into sparse sets of human-interpretable features. Rece…

The Rogue Scalpel: Activation Steering Compromises LLM Safety
Anton Korznikov, Andrey Galichin, Alexey Dontsov +3
Activation steering is a promising technique for controlling LLM behavior by adding semantically meaningful vectors directly into a model's hidden states during inference. It is of…

OrtSAE: Orthogonal Sparse Autoencoders Uncover Atomic Features
Anton Korznikov, Andrey Galichin, Alexey Dontsov +3
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are a technique for sparse decomposition of neural network activations into human-interpretable features. However, current SAEs suffer from feature absor…
