Emergent Structure in the Marginal Attention Space of Language Models
Valentino Maiorca, Walter Nelson, Francesco Locatello
While representation similarity across independently trained language models is well-documented, how internal mechanics such as attention behave across models remains far less char…
LocUS: Head Selection and Subspace Projection for Targeted Activation Steering
Irene Tallini, Lorenzo Basile, Valentino Maiorca +2
Activation steering is a powerful training-free paradigm for controlling large language models at inference time. However, standard approaches estimate a per-layer steering directi…
Assessing Sample Quality in Conditional Generation under Compositional Shift
Berker Demirel, Valentino Maiorca, Marco Fumero +2
Conditional generators provide a natural tool for controllable generation, including settings where the desired condition is a new composition of observed attributes or experimenta…
HyperTransport: Amortized Conditioning of T2I Generative Models
Valentino Maiorca, Eleonora Gualdoni, Xavier Suau +3
As foundation models grow in capability, the ability to efficiently and reliably control their behavior becomes critical. Fine-tuning these models can be costly, and while promptin…
