Multi-view SAE alignment with pitch transposition as inductive bias recovers orbit structures for chords, keys, and melodic patterns in two music foundation models

The study introduces a framework that uses pitch transposition as an inductive bias to induce ordered orbits via multi-view Sparse Autoencoder (SAE) alignment: it generates pitch-shifted input pairs and aligns their SAE representations to discover structured groups of pitch-related features; experimental results show that this approach recovers orbit structures corresponding to chords, keys, and melodic patterns across two state-of-the-art music foundation models, while requiring only minimal grounding such as a few anchor examples to interpret entire concept families.
