Neyman Orthogonal Activation Steering
View original on arxiv.orgOverview
arXiv:2610.33217v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Activation steering is a popular approach for shifting LLM output toward a desired behavior, and increasingly for generating realistic synthetic data. The standard recipe estimates a steering direction by contrasting LLM activations on prompts with and without a target concept, such as truthfulness. In this paper, we separate the estimand (the steering direction these methods target) from the estimator used to recover it, two notions the literature
