Compositional interpretability defines explanations as commuting syntactic-semantic mapping pairs grounded in compositionality and minimum description length, with compressive refinement and a parsimony theorem guaranteeing concise human-aligned decompositions.
Tree SAE learns hierarchical feature structures by combining activation coverage with a new reconstruction condition, outperforming prior SAEs on hierarchical pair detection while matching state-of-the-art benchmark performance.
