Decoder-Preserving Sparse Autoencoders: Which Readouts Survive Sparse Compression?
Publisher summary· verbatim
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. We formalize this ambiguity as a matrix-valued distortion between optimal ridge-pred
