  • Contrastconcept0.841
    The property that living structures contain intense contrast—far more than one imagines helpful; true opposites which annihilate each other when superimposed, creating differentiation that gives birth to something; contrast unifies rather than separates when used correctly
  • Contrastive learningframework0.826
    Supervised learning framework where system learns by observing contrast between current response and nudged improved response; requires weak additional forces from supervisor
  • Contrastive Pairsconcept0.800
    Pairs of prompts at different reflection levels used to compute steering vectors.
  • Unsupervised probing method from Burns et al. 2023 that identifies directions along which contrast pair representations are far apart
  • Probe construction method: concept vector at each layer is L2-normalized difference between mean positive and mean negative representations from contrastive system prompts
  • Method for obtaining concept vectors by subtracting activations from two contrasting prompts.
  • IID mass-mean probing coincides with LDA when covariance is known; used to derive the corrected probe formula
  • A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
