abstract

A neuroscience method to understanding the brain is to find and study the preferred stimuli that highly activate an individual cell or groups of cells. Recent advances in machine learning enable a family of methods to synthesize preferred stimuli that cause a neuron in an artificial or biological brain to fire strongly. Those methods are known as Activation Maximization (AM) or Feature Visualization via Optimization. In this chapter, we (1) review existing AM techniques in the literature; (2) discuss a probabilistic interpretation for AM; and (3) review the applications of AM in debugging and explaining networks.

BlueGlass: A Framework for Composite AI Safety

cs.AI · 2025-07-14 · conditional · novelty 5.0

BlueGlass provides composite AI safety infrastructure; its case studies on object-detection VLMs reveal dataset trade-offs, a decoder-layer phase transition in probe accuracy, and SAE-discovered concepts including spurious hand-based shortcuts.
