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.

  • Providing k labeled examples in the prompt to steer model behavior.
  • Technique using 0-20 in-context examples exhibiting a target trait to elicit behavioral shifts, used to validate persona vector monitoring
  • Baseline method: sweeps over shot count and resamples prompts; calibrates threshold for P(TRUE)-P(FALSE); performed surprisingly weakly
  • Direct Promptingmethod0.739
    The baseline prompting method asking for a single response (e.g., 'Tell me a joke about coffee'), which suffers from mode collapse
  • A list-level prompting baseline that asks for k responses in a single call without probability verbalization
  • Alternative to preventative steering: prepending a trait-eliciting system prompt to training samples to cancel out training pressure
  • Technique for extracting trait directions by contrasting model activations under trait-eliciting vs. trait-suppressing conditions
  • Shot count needed to reach 50% accuracy; reflects when anchoring strength crosses critical value.
