Modify the activations lib and expgen project to generate exemplars for activations other than MLP neurons -- the residual stream, MLP in/outs, and self-attention outs. These match the Subject collect_acts method, excluding self-attention maps (different shape) and unembed in/outs (no layer index).
Follows the recommendation in project/expgen/README.md by adding to get_activations_computing_func -- specifically, introduces an ActivationType enum which determines access paths for subject -> component and component -> activations.
Adds an activation-type suffix to the exemplars folder name, except when the activation type is "neurons," to preserve current behavior. Similarly, adds a command-line argument to the expgen compute_exemplars.py script with default value "neurons".
Caveat: not tested with the rest of the expgen pipeline yet.
