Stage 2: Concept Discovery
Discover semantic concepts that characterize regions of the program space.
Three complementary discovery mechanisms:
1. BehavioralConceptDiscovery (TRACED, 2306.07487):
Concepts from execution traces — branch coverage, variable quantiles, output signatures
2. SAEConceptDiscovery (CB-SAE, 2512.10805 + DN-CBM, 2407.14499):
Train Sparse Autoencoder on LLM hidden states; auto-name neurons as concepts
3. AbstractionConceptDiscovery (LILO, 2310.19791 / ReGAL, 2401.16467):
Discover shared program fragments and name them via LLM
