Manifold steering along activation geometry induces behavioral trajectories matching the natural manifold of outputs, while linear steering produces off-manifold unnatural behaviors.
Llama-3.1-8B computes sums for cyclic concepts using base-10 addition via task-agnostic Fourier features with periods 2, 5, and 10 rather than modular arithmetic in the concept period.
Early hidden state features from the first few tokens allow a GBDT classifier to predict activation steering success, under-steering, or over-steering with 0.7 macro-F1 on unseen concepts.
Steering Dark Triad features in an LLM increases exploitative and aggressive behavior while leaving strategic deception and cognitive empathy unchanged, indicating dissociable antisocial pathways.
A steering-grid protocol that varies coefficient and joint feature set shows that standard single-feature SAE labels are often incomplete, naming an activation regime rather than a causal axis.
Contrastive Activation Addition steers Llama 2 Chat by adding averaged residual-stream activation differences from contrastive example pairs to control targeted behaviors at inference time.
Prototype-Based Sparse Steering decomposes query activations with SAEs and optimizes sparse features via gradients to steer LLM outputs toward specific behaviors.
Translation function vectors extracted from one language direction transfer to unseen target languages, indicating a language-agnostic translation signal in multilingual LLMs.
