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.
- Interpretable features extracted by sparse autoencoders used as steering targets in this study
- Pre-filtering step excluding latents naturally activated by each prompt to ensure genuine off-topic steering
- Interpretability method criticized in this paper for shattering manifolds into atomic pieces, obscuring overarching semantic structure.
- Adding a multiple of the SAE latent decoder vector to token activations to causally test each latent's role in misalignment
- Pre-filtering step excluding abstract latents where off-topic detection is harder
- Surprising finding that the two evaluation methods diverge in their relationship with persistence
- Standard interpretability approach that VPD critiques and proposes an alternative to.
- Method where Kimi evaluates steered vs unsteered text samples from another instance to rate SAE feature emotionality (0-100)
