Kernelized Activation Steering offers enhanced control over generative models

Researchers have introduced Kernelized Activation Steering (KAS), a novel framework that enhances control over generative models without requiring retraining. KAS operates by lifting activation steering into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, allowing for an implicit, activation-dependent steering score. This method enables locally adaptive steering, modifying each activation based on its position relative to source and target reference sets, which outperforms or matches existing methods on tasks like jailbreaking LLMs and controlling image style.
