From Input to Output: A Flexible Agent for Dual-End Interpretation of Sparse Autoencoder Features

Functional interpretation is introduced, which characterizes an SAE feature as a mapping from its activating input semantics to its output effects under intervention, and Dual-End Agentic Feature Interpretation (DAFI) is presented, an agent that actively gathers evidence and refines input-side, output-side, and functio...

Tail subtraction is introduced, which removes shared prompt and continuation semantics from boundary states and yields cleaner, more stable steering signals, and suggests that steering depends on representations of what the model is about to do, not merely on what has already appeared.
