- Top-down interpretability approach studying linguistic properties at various residual stream stages; contrasted with the paper's bottom-up mechanistic approach
- Earlier interpretability method applying classifiers to DNN hidden representations; shares complexity-accuracy dilemma with causal abstraction
- Probing approach avoiding supervision to sidestep complexity-accuracy tradeoff
- Interpretability tools that decode information from internal model activations; here, linear probes are used for data attribution.
- Method from Gurnee et al. 2023 for finding feature directions including individual neuron analysis
- Technique of reading out model beliefs from internal activations before the final answer token is generated
- Standard linear probing technique; compared to mass-mean probing for classification accuracy and causal implication
- Key methodological claim: MM probes are both competitive in accuracy and superior in causal influence
