Why this formula appears here
where is the frozen activation the network produces at layer for input x , and w, b are the probe’s own parameters, trained on labelled examples the network never saw during its own training. Nothing in that objective touches the network’s weights or its downstream computation. A probe reports only whether some linear function of this one activation predicts the label well.
