Contribution grade

AI interpretability, model editing and data attribution · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score150,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Learns concept directions from positive and counterexample activations, measures output directional derivatives along these directions and aggregates their signs into class-level concept sensitivity.

Scientific scope

Learns concept directions from positive and counterexample activations, measures output directional derivatives along these directions and aggregates their signs into class-level concept sensitivity. Depends on selected concepts, negatives, layer and local linear separator; statistical repetition is not proof that a semantic concept causally determines predictions. V1 has five authors; v5 has seven with changed order and membership. Only general image-model method is curated; medical application excluded.

Evidence

The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
