Steering Language Model Refusal with Sparse Autoencoders
Kyle O'Brien, David Majercak, Xavier Fernandes +7
Responsible deployment of language models requires mechanisms for refusing unsafe prompts while preserving model performance. While most approaches modify model weights through add…
Composable Interventions for Language Models
Arinbjorn Kolbeinsson, Kyle O'Brien, Tianjin Huang +8
Test-time interventions for language models can enhance factual accuracy, mitigate harmful outputs, and improve model efficiency without costly retraining. But despite a flood of n…
Recite, Reconstruct, Recollect: Memorization in LMs as a Multifaceted Phenomenon
USVSN Sai Prashanth, Alvin Deng, Kyle O'Brien +9
Memorization in language models is typically treated as a homogenous phenomenon, neglecting the specifics of the memorized data. We instead model memorization as the effect of a se…
Improving Black-box Robustness with In-Context Rewriting
Kyle O'Brien, Nathan Ng, Isha Puri +5
Machine learning models for text classification often excel on in-distribution (ID) data but struggle with unseen out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. Most techniques for improving OO…
