Contrast-Consistent Search (CCS)

Techniqueintermediate

Unsupervised direction extraction: given contrast pairs of statements with opposite truth values, finds a direction whose projected values satisfy logical negation consistency (p(true) + p(false) ≈ 1) without ever using ground-truth labels.

Used in (3 observations)
