A Survey on Sparse Autoencoders: Interpreting the Internal Mechanisms of Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, yet their internal mechanisms remain largely opaque. Recently, mechanistic interpretability has attracted significant attention from the research community as a means to understand the inner workings of LLMs. Among various me

Beyond Input Activations: Identifying Influential Latents by Gradient Sparse Autoencoders

EMNLP 2025

Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have recently emerged as powerful tools for interpreting and steering the internal representations of large language models (LLMs). However, conventional approaches to analyzing SAEs typically rely solely on input-side activations, without considering the influence between

Comparative Analysis of Demonstration Selection Algorithms for In-Context Learning in Large Language Models (Student Abstract)

AAAI 2025technical

Demonstration selection algorithms play a crucial role in optimizing Large Language Models' (LLMs) in-context learning performance. Despite numerous proposed algorithms, their comparative effectiveness remains understudied. We present a comprehensive evaluation of six state-of-the-art demonstration…

Improving LLM Reasoning through Interpretable Role-Playing Steering

EMNLP 2025

Role-playing has emerged as an effective technique for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, existing methods primarily rely on prompt engineering, which often lacks stability and interpretability. In this paper, we introduce Sparse Autoencoder Role-Playing S

The Impact of Reasoning Step Length on Large Language Models

ACL 2024findings

Chain of Thought (CoT) is significant in improving the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs). However, the correlation between the effectiveness of CoT and the length of reasoning steps in prompts remains largely unknown. To shed light on this, we have conducted several empirical exper…
