Analysis of Variational Sparse Autoencoders
by Zachary Baker, Yuxiao Li, Maxim Panteleev, Maxim Finenko, Eslam Zaher August 2025 | SPAR Spring '25 A post in our series "Feature Geometry & Structured Priors in Sparse Autoencoders" Introduction Here, we compare the difference of variational sparse autoencoders (vSAE) against a standard sparse autoencoder (SAE). We hypothesize that...
