Parts-of-Speech as Emergent Categories in SAE Latent Space

The study explores how Sparse AutoEncoders (SAEs) represent part-of-speech (PoS) categories in language models, finding that PoS distinctions are recoverable from SAE activations but not directly mapped to individual latents. Instead, they are supported by compact groups of sparse features that vary across tags and show stability across data.
