- Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) trained on large language model activations output thousands of features that enable mapping to human-interpretable concepts. The current practice for analyzing these features primarily relies on inspecting top-activating examples, manually browsing individual features, or performing semantic search on interested concepts, which makes exploratory discovery of concepts difficult at scale. In this paper, we present Concept Explorer, a scalable interactive system for post-hoc exploration of SAE features that organizes concept explanations using hierarchical neighborhood embeddings. Our approach constructs a multi-resolution manifold over SAE feature embeddings and enables progressive navigation from coarse concept clusters to fine-grained neighborhoods, supporting discovery, comparison, and relationship analysis among concepts. We demonstrate the utility of Concept Explorer on SAE features extracted from SmolLM2, where it reveals coherent high-level structure, meaningful subclusters, and distinctive rare concepts that are hard to identify with existing workflows.
