cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Dual interpretation of features: in addition to responding to inputs, features also act to increase probability of specific output tokens
- The class of dead buildings, essentially all configurations except the living ones; almost coextensive with C_all.
- Fraction of training tokens on which a given feature has nonzero activation; used as proxy metric for autoencoder quality
- A feature that responds to only a single latent variable, contrasted with polysemantic features
- Property that features activate on only a small fraction of inputs; enables compressed sensing and is what allows superposition to work
- Representations inside LLMs that can be intervened upon.
- Metaphor treating each system feature or function as a separate application that can be independently loaded and managed.
- Domain of techniques for constructing informative features from raw data; covariance pooling is a feature engineering method for token sequences.
