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.
- Pre-filtering step excluding abstract latents where off-topic detection is harder
- Interpretability method criticized in this paper for shattering manifolds into atomic pieces, obscuring overarching semantic structure.
- Extension of mechanistic interpretability findings to the metacognitive domain
- The individual, supposedly monosemantic directions learned by SAEs; argued here to fragment manifolds into disconnected pieces.
- Method where Kimi evaluates steered vs unsteered text samples from another instance to rate SAE feature emotionality (0-100)
- Standard interpretability approach that VPD critiques and proposes an alternative to.
- Surprising finding that the two evaluation methods diverge in their relationship with persistence
- Key limitation that prevents tracing inter-layer dynamics or how steering propagates through model depth
