Self-consistency metrics for representational stability analysis

Shesha

Self-consistency metrics for representational stability analysis.

Shesha measures the geometric stability of high-dimensional representations by quantifying the self-consistency of their pairwise distance structure (RDMs) under controlled internal perturbations.

Installation

pip install shesha-geometry

Quick Start

import numpy as np
import shesha

X = np.random.randn(500, 768)  # (n_samples, n_features)

stability = shesha.feature_split(X, n_splits=30, seed=320)
print(f"Feature-split stability: {stability:.3f}")

For the full API reference, installation guide, and usage examples, see the documentation.

Tutorials

Explore shesha with these interactive notebooks (each takes < 5 minutes to run):

• LLM Embeddings - Analyze embedding stability across layers and models using feature_split.
• Steering Vectors - Compute steering vectors from contrastive pairs and measure their consistency.
• Vision Models - Compare geometric stability across ResNets, ViTs, and other architectures.
• Representational Drift - Measure drift from Gaussian noise injection and LoRA fine-tuning.
• Training Dynamics - Track geometric stability during training to detect representation collapse.
• CRISPR (Bio) - Use shesha.bio to analyze stability in single-cell CRISPR perturbation experiments.
