concept
  • Paradigm of finding the right direction in activation space (e.g., linear steering).
  • Central framework: steering neural networks by intervening along the curved manifold where a concept lives, rather than in straight lines through activation space.

  • The overarching theoretical framework proposed in the paper, asserting that steering interventions should be aligned with the geometric structure of the model's representation manifold.
  • Angular Steeringframework0.840
    Steering variant that rotates hidden states toward a target feature vector, addressing how to steer
  • Linear steering implicitly assumes a flat, Euclidean activation space, leading to off-manifold excursions.
  • Novel method that applies intervention only when the model begins a new thinking step (at the \n\n delimiter) rather than at every token
  • steering vectorsconcept0.787
    A method for modifying model behavior by adding perturbation vectors to activations, used here to try to reduce eval awareness.
  • Dynamic Steeringframework0.784
    Steering variants that adaptively modulate steering strength based on input context or token position, addressing when to steer
  • Ability to steer model behavior in two opposite semantic directions on a trait.
