1. **[UniTE: Unified Translation Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wan-2022-unite-unified-translation-evaluation/)** *(2022 · 100 citations)* Machine translation evaluation usually comes in three variants: comparing a hypothesis with a reference (REF), with the source sentence only, also called quality estimation (SRC), or with both (SRC+REF).
2. **[Unveiling Language-Specific Features in Large Language Models via Sparse Autoencoders](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/deng-2025-unveiling-language-specific-features-large/)** *(2025 · 18 citations)* The paper asks how large language models represent individual languages internally. Earlier work relied on single neurons, which suffer from superposition, or on logit-lens readouts, which are unreliable outside the final layers. The authors instead use pretrained Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs), which split…
3. **[Qwen-Scope: Turning Sparse Features into Development Tools for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/deng-2026-qwen-scope-turning-sparse/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) break LLM hidden states into a small number of interpretable directions. In practice, though, they have mostly been used to inspect and label features after the fact, not to build or fix models. The Qwen Team addresses this with Qwen-Scope, an openly released collection of SAEs trained on…
