mid-clause words in technical prose

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on a word in the middle of a sentence that is about to be completed by the rest of the clause, such as 'means', 'changed', 'has' or 'that'. Its strongest moments come in plain explanations of how something works. Turning it up or down gave rambling or number-heavy text, not a clear theme.

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

1. #1 peak

   or mod)⏎operator to find the remainder one gets when two numbers are divided,⏎say like a % b. If a remainder is ever zero, it means that b⏎divides evenly into a, or a is divisible by b.⏎

2. #2 peak

   hash of that data; on the receiving end, we re-hash the received data and check that the computed hash equals that sent; if any of the data has changed then (with overwhelming probability), the computed hash value will no longer match the original

3. #3 peak

   server to the browser.⏎Like most other servers, Apache multiplexes its operations so that it can⏎start processing a new request before it has finished working on the previous⏎one. On Unix systems, Apache uses a multiprocess model in which

4. #4 peak

   data file.⏎In the sub-matrix format a portion (the block size) of a row is followed by further portions of subsequent rows before the remaining data values of the row are found.⏎Of the two, the sub-matrix format provides for

5. #5 peak

   completing a circuit.⏎This process continues until you turn off the light bulb.⏎What is Contact Current?⏎Contact current is a phenomenon that occurs when you touch something that has current flowing on it. As soon as you touch the object, the current goes

6. #6 peak

   hormone insulin then facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells, where it is metabolized into energy for immediate use.⏎To conserve fuel, you body stores excess glucose not needed for energy as a compound called glycogen. Through a process

Steering

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.

1. #1 peak

   When will the redistricting process begin?⏎The Census Bureau was delayed in its decennial count because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Typically, the bureau delivers data to the states by April 1.⏎This year, the bureau warned states

2. #2 peak

   extensive research program as the industry addresses impacts and works toward 2025 industry goals⏎Every five years, Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture publishes its National Indicators Report (NIR). The latest

3. #3 peak

   image representing the strength and solidarity of Londoners emerged on Twitter. It’s not uncommon for workers on the London Underground to write messages of national unity on tube signs following tragic events, and the March terrorist attack seemed no different. The image proceeded to

4. #4 peak

   Science article published this month, Americans should expect a tough flu season -- and an early one. While the article admits that scientists and doctors struggle to predict flu seasons each year, general consensus indicates that the 2017 - 2

Which neurons in earlier layers feed this one, and which later ones it feeds. Amber links excite, blue links suppress; longer bars are stronger.

Activation histogram

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.

Logit lens

The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layers instead.
