# 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.
