Dialz: A Python Toolkit for Steering Vectors
Zara Siddique, Liam D. Turner, Luis Espinosa-Anke
We introduce Dialz, a framework for advancing research on steering vectors for open-source LLMs, implemented in Python. Steering vectors allow users to modify activations at infere…

Shifting Perspectives: Steering Vectors for Robust Bias Mitigation in LLMs
Zara Siddique, Irtaza Khalid, Liam D. Turner +1
We present a novel approach to bias mitigation in large language models (LLMs) by applying steering vectors to modify model activations in forward passes. We compute 8 steering vec…

Who is better at math, Jenny or Jingzhen? Uncovering Stereotypes in Large Language Models
Zara Siddique, Liam D. Turner, Luis Espinosa-Anke
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to propagate and amplify harmful stereotypes, particularly those that disproportionately affect marginalised communities. To understand…
