Interlingual Local Overlap (ILO)
A k-NN neighborhood-overlap statistic computed across languages rather than across layers or against ground-truth labels — measures how much a translation-equivalent point's local neighborhood in one language's representations is shared with its neighborhood in another language's representations, isolating a shared interlingual region from language-specific structure.
