Setting a feature's value to its maximum observed value and sampling from the model to validate causal interpretations
Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count
Claims (1)

- Authors argue features are model properties because logit effects and ablations are consistent with feature interpretations

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.
- The mechanism by which LLMs generate text: drawing a token from the next-token distribution and appending it to context repeatedly
