Quick Start

Example usage: from splatnlp.mechinterp.state import ResearchStateManager; manager = ResearchStateManager(feature_id=18712, model_type='ultra'); print(manager.get_summary())

Frequently Asked Questions about mechinterp-state

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track evidence for SAE feature hypotheses in mechanistic interpretability research?

You can track SAE feature hypotheses by loading the ResearchStateManager to link experimental evidence directly to hypotheses, maintaining a structured history of your mechanistic interpretability research findings.

What is the best way to organize mechanistic interpretability notes across multiple models?

Organizing mechanistic interpretability notes across models requires a state manager that logs activity history and feature confidence tracking, enabling you to consolidate research progress for different model types in one structured environment.

Can I export SAE feature research summaries for documentation?

Yes, you can export SAE feature research summaries. The state manager generates concise summaries of your hypotheses and evidence, allowing you to output notes for sharing or integrating into your research documentation.

Do I need a Python environment to use the splatnlp mechinterp package for feature analysis?

Yes, a Python environment is required. You must install the splatnlp mechinterp package and related project files to instantiate the ResearchStateManager and manipulate your SAE feature analysis data.

How do I instantiate a research state manager for a specific SAE feature?

Instantiate the research state manager by importing the ResearchStateManager class and passing parameters like feature_id and model_type, which initializes the tracking environment for that specific SAE feature analysis.
