Sparse Autoencoders Do Not Find Canonical Units of Analysis (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leask, P., Bussmann, B., Pearce, M., Bloom, J., Tigges, C., Al Moubayed, N., Sharkey, L., & Nanda, N. (2025, April). Sparse Autoencoders Do Not Find Canonical Units of Analysis. Presented at ICLR2025: The Thirteenth International Conference on Learning Representations, Singapore

A common goal of mechanistic interpretability is to decompose the activations of neural networks into features: interpretable properties of the input computed by the model. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are a popular method for finding these features in... Read More about Sparse Autoencoders Do Not Find Canonical Units of Analysis.

Two second Steenrod squares for odd Khovanov homology (2025)
Journal Article
Schuetz, D. (in press). Two second Steenrod squares for odd Khovanov homology. Fundamenta Mathematicae,

Recently, Sarkar–Scaduto–Stoffregen constructed a stable homo-topy type for odd Khovanov homology, hence obtaining an action of the Steenrod algebra on Khovanov homology with ℤ∕2ℤ coefficients. Motivated by their construction we propose a way to comp... Read More about Two second Steenrod squares for odd Khovanov homology.

Sick Leave of Customary Tenants in Late Medieval England (2025)
Journal Article
Owen, G., Brown, A. T., & Skinner, A. T. (in press). Sick Leave of Customary Tenants in Late Medieval England. Journal of British Studies,

Historians and archaeologists have extensively studied the history of health and illness in medieval England. Despite uncovering evidence of many diseases, especially fatal ones, questions remain about the impact of infirmity on people’s lives. How o...

A posteriori error bounds for finite element approximations of steady-state mean field games (2025)
Journal Article
Osborne, Y., Smears, I., & Wells, H. (in press). A posteriori error bounds for finite element approximations of steady-state mean field games. IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis,

We analyze a posteriori error bounds for stabilized finite element discretizations of second-order steady-state mean field games. We prove the local equivalence between the H1-norm of the error and the dual norm of the residual. We then derive reliab...

Great Britain has three native shrews, while the greater white-toothed shrew (GWT: Crocidura russula) is native to the European continent and some Channel islands. The GWT shrew was first reported in northern England in 2022. We detail its immediate...

Purpose – The presence of unverifiable, inaccurate, and irrelevant information during disasters can encourage people to withdraw from virtual communities. One way to combat this problem is to cultivate a sense of community. However, little is known a...
