Add dataset card, link to paper and code

Browse files

Hi, I'm Niels from the Hugging Face community science team. I've noticed this dataset repository is missing metadata and a detailed description. This PR adds a dataset card that links to the paper "Inside the Visual Mind: Neuroscience-Motivated Concept Circuits for Interpreting and Steering Vision Transformers" (ICML 2026) and the official GitHub repository to make the artifact more discoverable and documented.

+ # ViSAE: Neuroscience-Motivated Probing Suite
13
+
14
+ This dataset is part of the **ViSAE** toolbox, presented in the paper [Inside the Visual Mind: Neuroscience-Motivated Concept Circuits for Interpreting and Steering Vision Transformers](https://huggingface.co/papers/2606.06664) (ICML 2026).
15
+
16
+ ViSAE is a mechanistic interpretability toolbox designed to decompose Vision Transformer (ViT) representations into human-interpretable concepts using Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs).

+ ## Dataset Summary
22
+
23
+ The probing suite consists of:
24
+ 1. **Probing Image Set:** 64,000 images designed for SAE training, optimized for high concept coverage (20x more efficient than ImageNet).
25
+ 2. **Concept Set:** A 16,000 visually grounded concept vocabulary for SAE feature interpretation (available in the GitHub repository).
26
+
27
+ ## Usage
28
+
29
+ To use this dataset for training SAEs or tracing concept circuits, please refer to the official [GitHub repository](https://github.com/deep-real/ViSAE) for the implementation details, including:
30
+ - Extracting intermediate representations from ViTs.
31
+ - Training SAEs for each ViT layer.
32
+ - Mapping learned features to concepts using CLIP.
