LLM figurative language generation signals transfer across languages

Researchers have developed a method called activation steering to investigate how multilingual large language models generate figurative language. They found that specific directions within the model's internal signals can be learned in one language and effectively transferred to improve figurative language generation in other languages. This suggests that these internal signals are reusable across languages, though their effectiveness varies depending on the target language. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates reusable cross-lingual signals in LLMs, potentially improving multilingual generative capabilities.

    Cross-Lingual Steering for Figurative Language Generation

    arXiv:2605.30443v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multilingual large language models can generate figurative language, but whether the internal signals driving this behavior are language-specific or reusable across languages is unclear. Using activation steering as a probe, we esti…
