🔬 Experimental Method

Full Vector Method

# Core idea: Concatenate ΔW response vectors from all layers
vec1 = np.concatenate([resp1[layer]['response'] for layer in sorted(resp1.keys())])
vec2 = np.concatenate([resp2[layer]['response'] for layer in sorted(resp2.keys())])
similarity = 1 - cosine(vec1, vec2)

Threshold Settings

Threshold	Similar Pairs Accuracy	Dissimilar Pairs Accuracy	Total Accuracy
0.50	78%	90%	84.2%
0.45	89%	90%	89.5%

2️⃣ Computational Efficiency Optimization (Coarse-to-Fine)

For production environment computational overhead, adopt layered precision strategy:

Precision Level	Use Case	Computational Overhead
Coarse (Scalar Modulation)	Real-time Inference	Low
Medium (Vector Modulation)	General Tasks	Medium
Fine (Full Decoupling)	Offline Training	High

Core Principle: Use simplified version for real-time, full version for offline training.

3️⃣ Annotation System Improvement

• Establish finer-grained semantic similarity annotation standards
• Handle boundary cases (e.g., math concept pairs like "calculate↔pi")
• Introduce manual verification mechanism
