- Named procedure for classifying each trait by baseline expression and dose-response under steering
- Emotion-encoding directions in LLM activation space that can be amplified or suppressed via activation steering to causally drive model behavior
- The top of the steerability ranking is dominated by exaggerated or attention-grabbing styles
- Aggregate metric averaging mean SJT scores across OCEAN traits and steering directions; maximum possible is 10
- Prior work using steering vectors to control reflection, motivated by reducing redundant self-reflection in long CoT.
- Natural trait acts as anchor in mixed pairs, suppressing steerable partner at worst but never collapsing both
- Adding a multiple of the SAE latent decoder vector to token activations to causally test each latent's role in misalignment
- The central phenomenon introduced by this paper: inference-time recovery from irrelevant activation steering in LLMs
