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.
- Systematic comparison showing features are substantially more universal than neurons across models
- SAE features are not simply mirroring individual neurons.
- Shows interpretability correlates with activation strength, most model effect comes from high activations
- 14-point scoring rubric for human evaluation of feature interpretability covering confidence, activation consistency, logit consistency, and specificity
- Quantitative comparison supporting SAE utility.
- Demonstrates that the Arabic feature is not aligned to any single neuron
- Automated interpretability and specificity ratings show SAE features are clearer than MLP neurons.
- Shows base64 feature is polysemantic at neuron level but monosemantic as learned feature
