Architecture
Latent Space
The compressed, high-dimensional representation that a neural network learns internally.
In depth
The compressed, high-dimensional representation that a neural network learns internally. Each point in latent space encodes a meaningful combination of features from the training data. Navigating latent space is how generative models interpolate between concepts, and it is why models can produce novel outputs that blend characteristics of things they have seen before.
Example
In practice, developers reach for Latent Space when they need the capability described above as part of an AI feature or workflow.

Sparse Autoencoder (SAE)
A sparse autoencoder (SAE) is a small neural network trained to rewrite a model's internal activations as a sparse mix of many learned features, so each feature tends to stand for one interpretable concept.

Mechanistic Interpretability
Mechanistic interpretability is the research field that tries to reverse engineer what a neural network computes internally into algorithms humans can understand, the way a programmer might decompile a binary back into readable source code.
