TL;DR: There may be a fundamental problem with interpretability work that attempts to understand neural networks by decomposing their individual activation spaces in isolation: It seems likely to find features of the activations - features that help explain the statistical structure of activation spaces, rather than features of the model - the features the model’s own computations make use of.

Crystal engineering is the design and synthesis of new solid forms by using the knowledge of intermolecular interactions and crystal packing. The goal of crystal engineering is to improve the properties of materials without altering the chemical identity of the materials. This work can be divided into three major parts. The first part deals with a series of sulfa drugs and its cocrystals.
