Super excited for this workshop, Mark your calendars!

We hope this paper encourages more thorough and diverse evaluations of interpretability and steering techniques going forward. (4/4)

A common theme we noticed across many methods we explored—and in much of the existing literature in this area—is the limited evaluation scope. Many such papers still use Pythia or Llama 1/2 which have very very different trends than many of the newer models (for reasons we couldn't pin down). (3/4)

This project began nearly a year ago when I was at Ai2. Activation steering and related ideas were incredibly appealing, and we explored applying them to a range of problems. But none of the techniques we tried led to meaningful improvements, which prompted a deeper investigation. (2/4)

Really excited for this paper to be out, led by @patqdasilva.bsky.social 👇. Follow him for more exciting work coming soon. (1/4)

I am also recruiting multiple PhD students for Fall '25. DM me here or on Whova, if interested in: multilinguality, personalized alignment, real use inspired evals (see website in bio for details).

@shocheen.bsky.social and co will be at the Thursday poster session to present our paper on "Contextual Noncompliance"

I'm recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work with me at the University of Colorado Boulder! Looking for creative students with interests in #NLP and #CulturalAnalytics.

Boulder is a lovely college town 30 minutes from Denver and 1 hour from Rocky Mountain National Park 😎
