GrAInS: Gradient-based Attribution for Inference-Time Steering of LLMs and VLMs

Duy Nguyen, Archiki Prasad, Elias Stengel-Eskin +1

Inference-time steering methods offer a lightweight alternative to fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) by modifying internal activations at t…

Multi-Attribute Steering of Language Models via Targeted Intervention

Duy Nguyen, Archiki Prasad, Elias Stengel-Eskin +1

Inference-time intervention (ITI) has emerged as a promising method for steering large language model (LLM) behavior in a particular direction (e.g., improving helpfulness) by inte…
