Neural networks and symbolic AI models compress information in fundamentally different ways, leading to "blurry" continuous representations versus "fragmented" discrete ones. Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) offer a promising bridge between these two paradigms. By learning sparse, interpretable features from the dense activations within neural networks, SAEs can help translate continuous data into more structured, symbolic-like components. This approach aims to combine the robust pattern recognition of neural systems with the logical reasoning capabilities of symbolic AI, advancing the quest for more understandable and capable models.
