Researchers have developed a new method called influence-guided response rewriting to more effectively modify the behavior of language models. This technique identifies influential training data points using influence functions and then replaces their responses to create stronger and more persistent behavioral shifts compared to traditional reweighting methods. Experiments across four open-weight LLMs demonstrated that this rewriting approach yields more significant and bidirectional changes, even for safety-related behaviors, suggesting that influential examples have greater intervention potential than previously understood.
