  • Technique for extracting trait directions by contrasting model activations under trait-eliciting vs. trait-suppressing conditions
  • Contrastive Pairsconcept0.783
    Pairs of prompts at different reflection levels used to compute steering vectors.
  • Contrastconcept0.782
    The property that living structures contain intense contrast—far more than one imagines helpful; true opposites which annihilate each other when superimposed, creating differentiation that gives birth to something; contrast unifies rather than separates when used correctly
  • Method formalized by Rimsky et al. (2024) that this paper adopts for extracting persona vectors
  • Contrastive learningframework0.768
    Supervised learning framework where system learns by observing contrast between current response and nudged improved response; requires weak additional forces from supervisor
  • Adaptation of instruction-tuned extraction to base models using third-person descriptions and hypothetical situations
  • Method comparing brain activity in conscious vs. unconscious conditions.
  • Contrast Pairsconcept0.735
    Pairs of statements with opposite truth values used as input to CCS; e.g., cities and neg_cities paired statements
