Serial Intervention

Intervention mode where interventions are applied sequentially, each building on the previous one

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

Concepts (2)

concept
  • pyvene's approach of storing interventions as shareable serialized objects rather than runtime code
  • The fundamental operation of making in-place changes to model activations, placing the model in a counterfactual state

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

  • Intervention mode where multiple interventions are applied simultaneously to the same base computation graph
  • Intervention targeting specific dimensional subsets of activation vectors rather than full representations
  • Property that additive modifications to activations affect all downstream computations, enabling tractable behavioral control
  • Manipulation of activations along a straight line; shown to fail when it crosses voids, in contrast to manifold-following interventions.
  • Fundamental operation for causal abstraction analysis; forces neurons to take values from source inputs to create counterfactuals.
  • Extends interchange interventions to non-standard bases by rotating representations, intervening in rotated subspaces, then rotating back.
  • The use of interventions (rather than correlations) to establish a causal link between representation geometry and behavioral geometry.
  • Scalar parameter modulating how strongly a steering vector shifts model activations; set to 15 for Exp1 and ±16 for Exp2
