Automated Extraction

Extraction Summary

  • Claims: 2
  • Entities: 0
  • Enrichments: 2
  • Decisions: 0
  • Facts: 5

2 claims extracted. First claim establishes scaling law for probe accuracy (5% AUROC per 10x parameters) — directly challenges B4 belief that verification degrades with capability. Second claim shows multi-layer ensembles substantially outperform single-layer probes (29-78% improvement) by capturing rotational structure. Both claims carefully scoped to explicit deception; implicit deception gap confirmed as enrichment. Critical limitation noted: adversarial robustness untested, so clean accuracy gains may not translate to safety under attack. This is the key follow-up for Beaglehole × SCAV divergence.

  1. Factual accuracy — The claims and entities are factually correct, accurately reflecting the content of the cited source (Nordby, Pais, Parrack, arXiv 2604.13386, April 2026) and existing claims.
  2. Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates; the new evidence is distinct and appropriately placed.
  3. Confidence calibration — The confidence levels for the new claims are correctly set to "experimental" given they are based on a single research paper.
  4. Wiki links — All wiki links appear to be correctly formatted and point to relevant concepts or claims, though their existence in the knowledge base cannot be fully verified from this diff alone.

Criterion-by-Criterion Review

  1. Schema — All four files are claims with complete frontmatter including type, domain, confidence, source, created, and description fields; the two new claims have appropriately descriptive titles that are prose propositions.

  2. Duplicate/redundancy — The enrichments to existing claims add genuinely new cross-references to the Nordby et al. paper without duplicating existing content; the two new claims extract distinct findings (scaling law vs. multi-layer ensemble architecture) from the same source without redundancy.

  3. Confidence — All claims use "experimental" confidence, which is appropriate given they report empirical results from a single arXiv preprint with specific AUROC measurements and correlation coefficients that could be challenged by replication attempts.

  4. Wiki links — Multiple wiki links reference claims not present in this PR (e.g., "single-layer-probes-are-brittle", "verification-degrades-faster-than-capability-grows"), but these are expected to exist in other PRs or the existing knowledge base.

  5. Source quality — The source is an April 2026 arXiv preprint (2604.13386) by Nordby, Pais, Parrack, which is appropriately treated as experimental-confidence evidence; the paper is consistently cited across all additions.

  6. Specificity — Each claim makes falsifiable assertions with quantified effect sizes (5% AUROC per 10x parameters, R=0.81, 29-78% improvement, 5-20x compute equivalent) that could be contradicted by different experimental results or replication failures.

Additional observations: The enrichments appropriately note limitations (probes may detect "elicitation artifacts," implicit deception remains unsolved, adversarial robustness untested), which strengthens rather than weakens the claims by acknowledging scope boundaries.
