In this paper, researchers explore the relationship between Superposition and Active Learning methods in machine learning. They investigate whether Active Learning can be used to decipher the meaning behind Superposition, which is a concept crucial for interpretability. The study uses popular image datasets like CIFAR-10 and Tiny ImageNet, along with the ResNet18 model, to compare Baseline and Active Learning models. Surprisingly, the results show that the active learning approach did not significantly outperform the baseline in terms of feature separation and accuracy. This suggests that the limitations of sample selection and potential overfitting may hinder the ability of the active learning model to generalize well. To overcome these challenges, more advanced approaches might be necessary to decode Superposition and potentially reduce it.

Superposition is a complex concept in machine learning that makes it hard to understand how models work. This paper tries to figure out if using Active Learning can help us understand what’s going on inside the model when it uses Superposition. The researchers used two popular image datasets and a special type of model called ResNet18 to test their ideas. They found that the active learning approach didn’t do much better than just using the regular way of training the model. This might be because the active learning method chose samples that weren’t very helpful, or it got too good at predicting things that aren’t really important. To solve this problem, we need to come up with new and better ways to use Active Learning.
