无需外部模型,用对比故事对评估稀疏自编码器的可解释性。

CE-Bench: Towards a Reliable Contrastive Evaluation Benchmark of Interpretability of Sparse Autoencoders

  • 基于精心筛选的对比故事对构建评估基准
  • 与SAEBench结果相关性超70%,且不依赖外部LLM判断
  • 适合研究大模型可解释性与自动评估方法的学者

稀疏自编码器(SAEs)是揭示大语言模型中可解释特征的有前景方法。尽管已有多种自动化评估方式,但多数依赖外部大语言模型进行判断。本文提出CE-Bench,一个轻量级、基于对比故事对的新型对比评估基准,用于衡量SAEs的可解释性。通过全面实验验证,CE-Bench能可靠评估可解释性,与现有基准(如SAEBench)高度一致,相关性超过70%,且无需外部LLM参与。官方代码与数据集已开源,可供公开使用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are a promising approach for uncovering interpretable features in large language models (LLMs). While several automated evaluation methods exist for SAEs, most rely on external LLMs. In this work, we introduce CE-Bench, a novel and lightweight contrastive evaluation benchmark for sparse autoencoders, built on a curated dataset of contrastive story pairs. We conduct comprehensive evaluation studies to validate the effectiveness of our approach. Our results show that CE-Bench reliably measures the interpretability of sparse autoencoders and aligns well with existing benchmarks without requiring an external LLM judge, achieving over 70% Spearman correlation with results in SAEBench. The official implementation and evaluation dataset are open-sourced and publicly available.
