• Contrastive Activation Addition (CAA)method0.866
  An existing activation steering method used as comparative baseline.
• Activation Additionmethod0.845
  Intervention method that adds a learned direction vector to residual stream activations to steer model behavior
• Reflection Enhancement via Activation Additionmethod0.834
  Adding steering vector in forward direction to push model activations toward stronger reflective behavior.
• Our method achieves superior performance compared to Contrastive Activation Addition.finding0.815
  Performance gains over CAA in steering tasks.
• Activation Addition (ActAdd)framework0.800
  Steering method deriving vectors from contrastive prompt pairs and adding to first-token activations.
• Contrastive pair activation subtractionmethod0.786
  Technique for obtaining concept vectors by presenting model with two scenarios differing in one respect and subtracting activations to isolate conceptual difference.
• Contrastive Activation Steeringmethod0.781
  Core technique: takes mean difference of model activations on contrastive prompts and adds the resulting vector to the residual stream at inference time.
