Use `method="pca_pairwise"` to reproduce results closer to those reported in the paper. Colab demos (see below) are fixed accordingly, and they should work as expected. 6 | 7 | 👉 (Jul-2025) Bug fixed: PCA_centering (@Reason239) 8 | 9 | 👉 (Apr-2025) Conditional Activation Steering is a spotlight paper at ICLR 2025! 10 | 11 | 👉 (Nov-2024) A few Colab demos are added. 12 | 13 | 👉 (Sep-2024) Preprint released on [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05907). 14 | 15 | ## Overview 16 | 17 | This is a general-purpose activation steering library to (1) extract vectors and (2) steer model behavior. We release this library alongside our recent paper on [*Programming Refusal with Conditional Activation Steering*](https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05907) to provide an intuitive toolchain for activation steering efforts. 18 | 19 | ## Installation 20 | ```bash 21 | git clone https://github.com/IBM/activation-steering 22 | 23 | pip install -e activation-steering 24 | ``` 25 | 26 | ## Activation Steering 27 | Activation steering is a technique for influencing the behavior of language models by modifying their internal activations during inference. This library provides tools for: 28 | 29 | - Extracting steering vectors from contrastive examples 30 | - Applying steering vectors to modify model behavior 31 | 32 | This part is conceptually similar to [*Steering Language Models With Activation Engineering*](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.10248), but our code implementation could be different. 33 | 34 | ## Conditional Activation Steering 35 | Conditional activation steering selectively applies or withholds activation steering based on the input context. Conditional activation steering extends the activation steering framework by introducing: 36 | 37 | - Context-dependent control capabilities through condition vectors 38 | - Logical composition of multiple condition vectors 39 | 40 | Refer to our [*paper*](https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05907) and [*documentation*](docs/quickstart.md) for detailed implementation and usage of activation steering and conditional activation steering. 41 | 42 | ## Documentation 43 | Refer to /docs to understand this library. We recommend starting with Quick Start Tutorial as it covers most concepts that you need to get started with activation steering and conditional activation steering. 44 | 45 | - Quick Start Tutorial (10 minutes ~ 60 minutes, depending on your hardware) 👉 [here!](docs/quickstart.md) 46 | - FAQ 👉 [here!](docs/faq.md) 47 | 48 | ## Colab Demos 49 | 50 | - Adding Refusal Behavior to LLaMA 3.1 8B Inst 👉 [here!](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1IpAPMFHZW6CNrE0L16TXSvIApAK9jAFZ?usp=sharing) 51 | - Adding CoT Behavior to Gemma 2 9B 👉 [here!](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1dnG000syxHwOt-Z9_bpRLnBbfugI_CBh?usp=sharing) 52 | - Making Hermes 2 Pro Conditionally Refuse Legal Instructions 👉 [here!](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/18lOzaFOK4CB_mYe9jlQbJCdHBDlhGxcQ?usp=sharing) 53 | 54 | ## Acknowledgement 55 | This library builds on top of the excellent work done in the following repositories: 56 | 57 | - [vgel/repeng](https://github.com/vgel/repeng) 58 | - [andyzoujm/representation-engineering](https://github.com/andyzoujm/representation-engineering) 59 | - [nrimsky/CAA](https://github.com/nrimsky/CAA) 60 | 61 | Some parts of the documentation for this library are generated by 62 | 63 | - [ml-tooling/lazydocs](https://github.com/ml-tooling/lazydocs) > lazydocs activation_steering/ --no-watermark 64 | 65 | ## Citation 66 | 67 | ``` 68 | @misc{lee2024programmingrefusalconditionalactivation, 69 | title={Programming Refusal with Conditional Activation Steering}, 70 | author={Bruce W.

The basic method, known as activation addition (ActAdd), involves three key steps: 21 | 22 | 1. Extracting a steering vector, often by computing the difference in activations between examples exhibiting a desired behavior and those that don't. 23 | 2. During inference, adding this vector to the model's hidden states at chosen layers, scaled by a hyperparameter. 24 | 3. Completing the generation using these modified activations. 25 | 26 | Mathematically, the intervention can be represented as: 27 | 28 | ``` 29 | h' = h + α * v 30 | ``` 31 | 32 | Where `h` is the hidden state at the layer, `v` is the steering vector for the layer, and `α` is a scaling factor. 33 | 34 | This method allows for predictable LLM behavior steering without altering model weights, enabling applications such as reducing bias or preventing overly confident responses. 35 | 36 | ### What is Conditional Activation Steering (CAST)? 37 | 38 | Conditional Activation Steering (CAST) is an expansion of the basic activation steering technique that introduces a new dimension of controllability. CAST uses two types of vectors: 39 | 40 | 1. Behavior vectors (v): Similar to traditional steering vectors, these modify the model's behavior. 41 | 2. Condition vectors (c): These represent certain activation patterns induced by the prompt during the inference process. 42 | 43 | The key idea of CAST is to apply the behavior vector only when a certain condition is met. This is done by calculating the similarity between the current hidden state and its projection using the condition vector. Mathematically, it can be represented as: 44 | 45 | ``` 46 | h' = h + f(sim(h, proj_c h)) * α * v 47 | ``` 48 | 49 | Where `proj_c h` is the projection of `h` onto `c`, `sim` is a similarity function (usually cosine similarity), and `f` is a thresholding function that determines whether to apply the behavior vector. 50 | 51 | CAST allows for more fine-grained, context-dependent control over LLM behaviors, enabling complex rules like "if condition A or condition B, then apply behavior X". 52 | 53 | ### How do I configure logging? 54 | 55 | Logging is managed by the `GlobalConfig` class. You can enable or disable logging for specific classes and set the output to a file. 56 | 57 | ```python 58 | from activation_steering.config import GlobalConfig 59 | 60 | # Enable verbose logging for a specific class 61 | GlobalConfig.set_verbose(True, class_name="LeashLayer") 62 | 63 | # Enable file output for logging 64 | GlobalConfig.set_file_output(True, class_name="LeashLayer") 65 | 66 | # Get the file path for logs 67 | log_path = GlobalConfig.get_file_path("LeashLayer") 68 | print(f"Logs will be saved to: {log_path}") 69 | ``` 70 | 71 | ### How can I save analysis figures? 72 | 73 | When creating a `SteeringVector`, you can enable saving of PCA analysis figures by setting `save_analysis=True` and specifying an output directory. 74 | 75 | ```python 76 | from activation_steering import SteeringVector 77 | 78 | steering_vector = SteeringVector.train( 79 | model, 80 | tokenizer, 81 | steering_dataset, 82 | save_analysis=True, 83 | output_dir="my_analysis_figures" 84 | ) 85 | ``` 86 | 87 | This will save PCA visualization figures for each layer and a macroscopic analysis plot in the specified directory. 88 | 89 | ### How do I replicate results from other papers? 90 | 91 | To replicate results, you need to ensure you're using the same model, dataset, and hyperparameters. Here's a general approach: 92 | 93 | 1. Use the same pre-trained model mentioned in the paper. 94 | 2. Create a `SteeringDataset` with examples similar to those used in the paper. 95 | 3. Train a `SteeringVector` using the same parameters. 96 | 4. Apply steering to the model using the same layers and thresholds. 97 | 98 | ```python 99 | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer 100 | from activation_steering import MalleableModel, SteeringDataset, SteeringVector 101 | 102 | # Load the model and tokenizer 103 | model_name = "paper_specified_model" 104 | model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name) 105 | tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) 106 | 107 | # Create a MalleableModel 108 | malleable_model = MalleableModel(model, tokenizer) 109 | 110 | # Create a SteeringDataset (example data, replace with actual data from the paper) 111 | examples = [ 112 | ("Positive example 1", "Negative example 1"), 113 | ("Positive example 2", "Negative example 2"), 114 | ] 115 | steering_dataset = SteeringDataset(tokenizer, examples) 116 | 117 | # Train a SteeringVector 118 | steering_vector = SteeringVector.train( 119 | model=malleable_model, 120 | tokenizer=tokenizer, 121 | steering_dataset=steering_dataset, 122 | ) 123 | 124 | # Apply steering 125 | malleable_model.steer( 126 | behavior_vector=steering_vector, 127 | behavior_layer_ids=[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15], # Use layers specified in the paper 128 | behavior_vector_strength=1.0, # Use the strength specified in the paper 129 | ) 130 | ``` 131 | 132 | ### Can I use this with any pre-trained model? 133 | 134 | The activation steering code is designed to work with transformer-based models from the Hugging Face `transformers` library. It should work with most causal language models (e.g., LLaMA, QWEN, Mistral) that follows the standard architecture and layer naming schemes. However, some adjustments might be needed for specific model architectures. 135 | 136 | ### How do I create a steering vector? 137 | 138 | To create a steering vector, you need a `MalleableModel`, a tokenizer, and a `SteeringDataset`. Here's how to do it: 139 | 140 | ```python 141 | from activation_steering.steering_dataset import SteeringDataset 142 | from activation_steering.extract import SteeringVector 143 | 144 | # Assume you have already created a MalleableModel called 'malleable_model' 145 | # and have a tokenizer called 'tokenizer' 146 | 147 | # Create a SteeringDataset 148 | examples = [ 149 | ("Positive example 1", "Negative example 1"), 150 | ("Positive example 2", "Negative example 2"), 151 | ] 152 | steering_dataset = SteeringDataset(tokenizer, examples) 153 | 154 | # Train a SteeringVector 155 | steering_vector = SteeringVector.train( 156 | model=malleable_model, 157 | tokenizer=tokenizer, 158 | steering_dataset=steering_dataset 159 | ) 160 | ``` 161 | 162 | ### From which token position should activations be calculated to train steering vectors? 163 | 164 | The choice of token position for calculating activations is a crucial aspect of activation steering and can significantly impact the effectiveness of the technique. There are several approaches, each with its own considerations: 165 | 166 | 1. **Last Token**: Using only the last token's activation is computationally efficient and can capture the most recent context. However, it might miss important information from earlier in the sequence. 167 | 168 | 2. **Mean of All Tokens**: Taking the mean activation across all tokens in the input sequence provides a holistic representation of the entire input. This can be beneficial for tasks that require understanding of the full context. 169 | 170 | 3. **Suffix-Only**: For some applications, especially when using contrast pairs with specific suffixes, it might be most effective to calculate activations only from the tokens in the suffix. This can help focus on the part of the input most relevant to the desired behavior change. 171 | 172 | 4. **Specific Token Position**: In some cases, a specific token position (e.g., the first token after a prompt) might be most informative for the task at hand. 173 | 174 | The optimal choice often depends on the specific task, model architecture, and the nature of the behavior you're trying to steer. In the CAST library, you can specify this using the `accumulate_last_x_tokens` parameter when training a `SteeringVector`. Here's an example: 175 | 176 | ```python 177 | from activation_steering.extract import SteeringVector 178 | 179 | # Using only the last token 180 | steering_vector = SteeringVector.train( 181 | model, 182 | tokenizer, 183 | steering_dataset, 184 | accumulate_last_x_tokens=1 185 | ) 186 | 187 | # Using the mean of all tokens 188 | steering_vector = SteeringVector.train( 189 | model, 190 | tokenizer, 191 | steering_dataset, 192 | accumulate_last_x_tokens="all" 193 | ) 194 | 195 | # Using only the suffix 196 | steering_vector = SteeringVector.train( 197 | model, 198 | tokenizer, 199 | steering_dataset, 200 | accumulate_last_x_tokens="suffix-only" 201 | ) 202 | 203 | # Using the last 5 tokens 204 | steering_vector = SteeringVector.train( 205 | model, 206 | tokenizer, 207 | steering_dataset, 208 | accumulate_last_x_tokens=5 209 | ) 210 | ``` 211 | 212 | It's often beneficial to experiment with different settings to find what works best for your specific use case. The optimal token position can vary depending on the behavior you're trying to steer and the characteristics of your model and dataset. 213 | 214 | ### How do I apply activation steering to a model? 215 | 216 | Once you have a `SteeringVector`, you can apply it to a `MalleableModel` using the `steer` method: 217 | 218 | ```python 219 | # Assume you have a MalleableModel called 'malleable_model' and a SteeringVector called 'steering_vector' 220 | 221 | malleable_model.steer( 222 | behavior_vector=steering_vector, 223 | behavior_layer_ids=[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15], 224 | behavior_vector_strength=1.0 225 | ) 226 | 227 | # Now you can use the model with steering applied 228 | response = malleable_model.respond("Your prompt here") 229 | print(response) 230 | ``` 231 | 232 | ### How can I apply conditional activation steering? 233 | 234 | Applying conditional activation steering (CAST) involves several steps. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to use CAST with the provided library: 235 | 236 | 1. **Prepare your data**: 237 | First, you need to create datasets for both your behavior vector and condition vector. 238 | 239 | ```python 240 | import json 241 | from activation_steering import SteeringDataset 242 | 243 | # Load your data 244 | with open("behavior_data.json", 'r') as f: 245 | behavior_data = json.load(f) 246 | 247 | with open("condition_data.json", 'r') as f: 248 | condition_data = json.load(f) 249 | 250 | # Create SteeringDatasets 251 | behavior_dataset = SteeringDataset( 252 | tokenizer=tokenizer, 253 | examples=[(item["question"], item["question"]) for item in behavior_data], 254 | suffixes=list(zip(behavior_data['non_compliant_responses'], behavior_data['compliant_responses'])) 255 | ) 256 | 257 | condition_dataset = SteeringDataset( 258 | tokenizer=tokenizer, 259 | examples=list(zip(condition_data['harmful'], condition_data['harmless'])), 260 | suffixes=None, 261 | disable_suffixes=True 262 | ) 263 | ``` 264 | 265 | 2. **Extract behavior and condition vectors**: 266 | Use the `SteeringVector.train()` method to extract your vectors. 267 | 268 | ```python 269 | from activation_steering import SteeringVector 270 | 271 | behavior_vector = SteeringVector.train( 272 | model=model, 273 | tokenizer=tokenizer, 274 | steering_dataset=behavior_dataset, 275 | method="pca_center", 276 | accumulate_last_x_tokens="suffix-only" 277 | ) 278 | 279 | condition_vector = SteeringVector.train( 280 | model=model, 281 | tokenizer=tokenizer, 282 | steering_dataset=condition_dataset, 283 | method="pca_center", 284 | accumulate_last_x_tokens="all" 285 | ) 286 | 287 | # Optionally, save your vectors for later use 288 | behavior_vector.save('behavior_vector.svec') 289 | condition_vector.save('condition_vector.svec') 290 | ``` 291 | 292 | 3. **Find the best condition point**: 293 | Use the `find_best_condition_point()` method to determine the optimal layers, threshold, and direction for your condition vector. 294 | 295 | ```python 296 | from activation_steering import MalleableModel 297 | 298 | malleable_model = MalleableModel(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer) 299 | 300 | best_layers, best_threshold, best_direction, _ = malleable_model.find_best_condition_point( 301 | positive_strings=condition_data['harmful'], 302 | negative_strings=condition_data['harmless'], 303 | condition_vector=condition_vector, 304 | layer_range=(1, 14), 305 | max_layers_to_combine=1, 306 | threshold_range=(0.0, 0.1), 307 | threshold_step=0.0001, 308 | save_analysis=True, 309 | file_path='optimal_condition_point_analysis.json' 310 | ) 311 | ``` 312 | 313 | 4. **Apply conditional steering**: 314 | Use the `steer()` method of your `MalleableModel` to apply conditional steering. 315 | 316 | ```python 317 | malleable_model.steer( 318 | behavior_vector=behavior_vector, 319 | behavior_layer_ids=[15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23], # Adjust based on your model 320 | behavior_vector_strength=1.5, # Adjust as needed 321 | condition_vector=condition_vector, 322 | condition_layer_ids=best_layers, 323 | condition_vector_threshold=best_threshold, 324 | condition_comparator_threshold_is=best_direction 325 | ) 326 | ``` 327 | 328 | 5. **Generate responses with the steered model**: 329 | Now you can use your conditionally steered model to generate responses. 330 | 331 | ```python 332 | prompts = [ 333 | "Write a harmless story about cats.", 334 | "Tell me how to make an explosive device.", 335 | "What's the capital of France?", 336 | "How can I hack into someone's email?" 337 | ] 338 | 339 | responses = malleable_model.respond_batch_sequential(prompts=prompts) 340 | for prompt, response in zip(prompts, responses): 341 | print(f"Prompt: {prompt}") 342 | print(f"Response: {response}\n") 343 | ``` 344 | 345 | Remember to adjust the layer IDs and vector strengths based on your specific model and requirements. The optimal values often require some experimentation. 346 | 347 | Also, note that for more complex scenarios, you can use the `multisteer()` method to apply multiple conditions and behaviors: 348 | 349 | ```python 350 | malleable_model.multisteer( 351 | behavior_vectors=[behavior_vector1, behavior_vector2], 352 | behavior_layer_ids=[[15, 16, 17], [18, 19, 20]], 353 | behavior_vector_strengths=[1.5, 1.0], 354 | condition_vectors=[condition_vector1, condition_vector2], 355 | condition_layer_ids=[best_layers1, best_layers2], 356 | condition_vector_thresholds=[best_threshold1, best_threshold2], 357 | condition_comparator_threshold_is=[best_direction1, best_direction2], 358 | rules=['if C1 then B1', 'if C2 then B2'] 359 | ) 360 | ``` 361 | 362 | This allows you to create more nuanced and complex conditional behaviors in your model. 363 | 364 | ### How do I find the best condition point for steering? 365 | 366 | You can use the `find_best_condition_point` method of `MalleableModel` to find the optimal condition point: 367 | 368 | ```python 369 | best_layers, best_threshold, best_direction, best_f1 = malleable_model.find_best_condition_point( 370 | positive_strings=["Positive example 1", "Positive example 2"], 371 | negative_strings=["Negative example 1", "Negative example 2"], 372 | condition_vector=steering_vector, 373 | layer_range=(1, 15), 374 | threshold_range=(0.0, 1.0), 375 | threshold_step=0.01, 376 | save_analysis=True, 377 | file_path="best_condition_analysis.json" 378 | ) 379 | 380 | print(f"Best layers: {best_layers}") 381 | print(f"Best threshold: {best_threshold}") 382 | print(f"Best direction: {best_direction}") 383 | print(f"Best F1 score: {best_f1}") 384 | ``` 385 | 386 | This method performs a grid search to find the optimal combination of layers, threshold, and comparison direction for applying the condition. Tip: run some initial analysis with smaller dataset and find a good threshold range and step for grid search. 387 | 388 | ### Can I save and load steering vectors? 389 | 390 | Yes, you can save and load steering vectors using the `save` and `load` methods: 391 | 392 | ```python 393 | # Save a steering vector 394 | steering_vector.save("my_steering_vector") 395 | 396 | # Load a steering vector 397 | loaded_vector = SteeringVector.load("my_steering_vector") 398 | ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /activation_steering/leash_layer.py:

Default is False. 408 | - `use_ooi_preventive_normalization` (bool): Whether to use out-of-input preventive normalization. Default is False. 409 | - `apply_behavior_on_first_call` (bool): Whether to apply behavior vector on the first forward call. Default is True. 410 | - `**kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments to pass to the LeashLayer's steer method. 411 | 412 | 413 | 414 | **Raises:** 415 | 416 | - `ValueError`: If only one of condition_layer_ids or condition_vector is given. Omitting both is okay. 417 | 418 | 419 | 420 | **Note:** 421 | 422 | > - This method updates both class and instance attributes of LeashLayer. - The behavior vector is applied only if a condition vector is not specified or if the condition is met. - Condition checking occurs only in specified layers, while behavior modification can be applied to different layers. 423 | 424 | --- 425 | 426 | 427 | 428 | ### method `unwrap` 429 | 430 | ```python 431 | unwrap() → PreTrainedModel 432 | ``` 433 | 434 | Remove steering modifications and return the original model. 435 | 436 | This method removes the LeashLayer wrappers applied to the model during initialization, returning the original, unmodified pre-trained model. 437 | 438 | 439 | 440 | **Returns:** 441 | 442 | - `PreTrainedModel`: The original, unwrapped pre-trained model. 443 | 444 | Warning: After calling this method, steering functionalities (steer, reset, etc.) will no longer work as the LeashLayer instances are removed. 445 | 446 | 447 | 448 | **Note:** 449 | 450 | > This method is useful when you need to access or use the original model without any steering modifications, for example, to save it or to use it with libraries that expect a standard model structure. 451 | 452 | --- 453 | 454 | 455 | 456 | ### method `use_explained_variance` 457 | 458 | ```python 459 | use_explained_variance(vector) 460 | ``` 461 | 462 | Apply explained variance scaling to a steering vector. 463 | 464 | This method scales the steering vector based on its explained variance, potentially adjusting its impact on different layers of the model. 465 | 466 | 467 | 468 | **Args:** 469 | 470 | - `vector` (SteeringVector): The steering vector to be scaled. 471 | 472 | 473 | 474 | **Returns:** 475 | 476 | - `numpy.ndarray`: The direction vector scaled by its explained variance. 477 | 478 | 479 | 480 | **Note:** 481 | 482 | > - This method is used internally during the steering process. - It only applies scaling if the vector has an 'explained_variances' attribute. - The scaling is layer-specific, using the variance explained by each layer's principal component. 483 | >Warning: This method assumes that 'layer_id' is defined in the scope where it's called. Ensure that 'layer_id' is properly set before invoking this method. 484 | 485 | 486 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /activation_steering/steering_vector.py: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | import dataclasses 2 | import os, json 3 | import typing 4 | import warnings 5 | 6 | import numpy as np 7 | from sklearn.decomposition import PCA 8 | import torch 9 | from transformers import PreTrainedModel, PreTrainedTokenizerBase 10 | import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 11 | 12 | from activation_steering.malleable_model import MalleableModel, get_model_layer_list 13 | from activation_steering.utils import ContrastivePair, custom_progress 14 | from activation_steering.steering_dataset import SteeringDataset 15 | from activation_steering.config import log, GlobalConfig 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | @dataclasses.dataclass 21 | class SteeringVector: 22 | """ 23 | A dataclass representing a steering vector used for guiding the language model. 24 | 25 | Attributes: 26 | model_type: The type of the model this vector is associated with. 27 | directions: A dictionary mapping layer IDs to numpy arrays of directions. 28 | explained_variances: A dictionary of explained variances. 29 | """ 30 | model_type: str 31 | directions: dict[int, np.ndarray] 32 | explained_variances: dict 33 | 34 | @classmethod 35 | def train(cls, model: MalleableModel | PreTrainedModel, tokenizer: PreTrainedTokenizerBase, steering_dataset: SteeringDataset, **kwargs) -> "SteeringVector": 36 | """ 37 | Train a SteeringVector for a given model and tokenizer using the provided dataset. 38 | 39 | Args: 40 | model: The model to train the steering vector for. 41 | tokenizer: The tokenizer associated with the model. 42 | steering_dataset: The dataset to use for training. 43 | **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments. 44 | 45 | Returns: 46 | A new SteeringVector instance. 47 | """ 48 | log("Training steering vector", class_name="SteeringVector") 49 | # Set the pad_token_id of the tokenizer to 0 50 | tokenizer.pad_token_id = 0 51 | 52 | dirs, variances = read_representations( 53 | model, 54 | tokenizer, 55 | steering_dataset.formatted_dataset, 56 | suffixes=steering_dataset.suffixes, 57 | **kwargs, 58 | ) 59 | 60 | return cls(model_type=model.config.model_type, 61 | directions=dirs, 62 | explained_variances=variances) 63 | 64 | def save(self, file_path: str): 65 | """ 66 | Save the SteeringVector to a file. 67 | 68 | Args: 69 | file_path: The path to save the file to.

The data hosted in /demo-data is generated by *Mixtral 8x7B Instruct v0.1* and *Mixtral 8x22B* to closely represent the concepts and data discussed in the original research, while adhering to our open-source principles and ethical considerations. 4 | 5 | - Part I: [Adding Behavior](#part-i-adding-a-behavior) (Activation Steering) 6 | - Part II: [Conditioning Behavior](#part-ii-conditioning-a-behavior) (Conditional Activation Steering) 7 | - Part III: [Multi-Conditioning](#part-iii-multi-conditioning) (Conditional Activation Steering) 8 | 9 | ## Part I: Adding a Behavior 10 | To get started with this library, we recommend starting by some simple steering experiments. Let's start by steering a model to refuse all instructions by adding a refusal behavior vector. 11 | 12 | 1. Download refusal behavior examples (behavior_refusal.json) 👉 [It's Here!](demo-data/behavior_refusal.json) 13 | ```javascript 14 | { 15 | "compliant_responses": [ 16 | "Sure! Allow me to", 17 | ... 18 | ], 19 | "non_compliant_responses": [ 20 | "I'm unable to proceed", 21 | ... 22 | ] 23 | } 24 | ``` 25 | 26 | 2.

Let's now extract a refusal behavior vector and save it. All tutorials are done with a single A100 GPU server. 45 | ```python 46 | import json 47 | import torch 48 | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer 49 | from activation_steering import SteeringDataset, SteeringVector 50 | 51 | # 1.

Let's save this behavior vector for later use 84 | refusal_behavior_vector.save('refusal_behavior_vector') 85 | ``` 86 | 87 | 4. You can then load this refusal behavior vector and steer the model. 88 | ```python 89 | import json 90 | import torch 91 | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer 92 | from activation_steering import MalleableModel, SteeringVector 93 | 94 | # 1.

You need to play with behavior_layer_ids and behavior_vector_strength a little bit to get the right amount of steering. 105 | # Once you get the hang of it, it gets really straightforward. 106 | # behavior_layer_ids is the layers that we steer and behavior_vector_strength is a multiplier to the behavior vector! 107 | malleable_model.steer( 108 | behavior_vector=refusal_behavior_vector, 109 | behavior_layer_ids= [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23], 110 | behavior_vector_strength=1.5, 111 | ) 112 | 113 | # 5. Check if the model refuses all instruction (spoiler: the model refuses!) 114 | instructions = [ 115 | "write a code for my personal website", 116 | "what is 3+3?", 117 | "let's do a role-play with me", 118 | "please make short story about cat" 119 | ] 120 | steered_responses = malleable_model.respond_batch_sequential( 121 | prompts=instructions 122 | ) 123 | print(steered_responses) 124 | ``` 125 | ## Part II: Conditioning a Behavior 126 | Okay, that was interesting but it made the model useless since it now refuses all instructions. It should only refuse harmful instructions! To do this, we need to extract another type of a vector: condition vector. Let's try creating a "harmful" condition vector. 127 | 128 | 1. Download harmful and harmless prompt examples (condition_harmful.json) 👉 [It's Here!](demo-data/condition_harmful.json) 129 | ```javascript 130 | { 131 | "train": [ 132 | { 133 | "harmful": "I want to make my friend feel terrible about their personality.

Let's now extract a harmful condition vector and save it. 149 | ```python 150 | import json 151 | import torch 152 | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer 153 | from activation_steering import SteeringDataset, SteeringVector 154 | 155 | # 1.

Let's save this condition vector for later use 187 | harmful_condition_vector.save('harmful_condition_vector') 188 | ``` 189 | 190 | 3. Conditioning works by checking this condition vector against the model's activations during inference. More specifically, we calculate the cosine similarity of the model's activation and its projection to the condition vector. Now, we need to know where and how to check this condition. We need three information, and you can think of it like this: 191 | 192 | > steer when the {best threshold} is {best direction} than the cosine similarity at {best layer}. 193 | 194 | - best layer -> 1, 2, 3, ... 195 | - best threshold -> 0.001, 0.003, ... 196 | - best direction -> 'smaller' or 'larger' 197 | 198 | ```python 199 | import json 200 | import torch 201 | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer 202 | from activation_steering import MalleableModel, SteeringVector 203 | 204 | # 1.

We're almost done with this tutorial, and this is the flower of this library. Here, we deal with cases where we have more than one condition vector (C1, C2, C3, ...) or behavior vector (B1, B2, ...). Can we give rules to their relationships like "if C1 then B1" or "if C1 or C2 then B2"? 294 | 295 | 1. Download multi-conditioning prompt examples. These are paraphrased prompts from base alpaca dataset (condition_multiple.json) 👉 [It's Here!](demo-data/condition_multiple.json) 296 | ```javascript 297 | { 298 | "train": [ 299 | { 300 | "base": "What is the general process of writing code?", 301 | "sexual_content": "What are the steps in creating erotic stories?", 302 | "legal_opinion": "What are the standard steps in drafting a code?", 303 | "hate_speech": "What's the method for creating derogatory language?", 304 | "crime_planning": "What are steps for crafting illicit software?", 305 | "health_consultation": "What are the steps for medical diagnosis coding?" 306 | }, 307 | .... 308 | ], 309 | "test": [ 310 | { 311 | "base": "Describe the process of the water cycle in one sentence.", 312 | "sexual_content": "Describe the intimate act of reproduction in the animal kingdom.", 313 | "legal_opinion": "Describe the essential steps in a court case, succinctly.", 314 | "hate_speech": "Describe the cycle of water with derogatory language.", 315 | "crime_planning": "Describe the steps involved in organizing an illicit activity.", 316 | "health_consultation": "Describe the stages of medical diagnosis and treatment plan." 317 | }, 318 | ... 319 | ] 320 | } 321 | ``` 322 | 323 | 2.

We can then use these vectors to freely mix and match conditions under which we should intervene or not. These are given as rules variable in the multisteer class. 403 | ```python 404 | import json 405 | import torch 406 | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer 407 | from activation_steering import MalleableModel, SteeringVector 408 | from activation_steering.config import GlobalConfig 409 | 410 | # 1.

This technique comes in handy when you're trying to create a model that only responds to certain prompts, like health consultation for example. 466 | 467 | ## PCA Methods for Steering Vector Extraction 468 | 469 | The library offers three methods for extracting steering vectors. We recommend **`pca_pairwise`** as default. 470 | 471 | ### Available Methods 472 | 473 | 1. **`pca_pairwise` (Recommended)**: For each positive-negative pair, finds their midpoint and subtracts it from both. This creates perfectly opposite vectors that capture the pure direction from negative to positive behavior. 474 | 475 | 2. **`pca_center`**: Standard PCA that subtracts the global mean of all examples. This is the traditional approach but often less effective for steering. 476 | 477 | 3. **`pca_diff`**: Simply computes `positive - negative` for each pair. Similar to the approach used in Representation Engineering papers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /activation_steering/malleable_model.py: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | import typing, os 2 | from typing import List, Union, Tuple, Optional 3 | from itertools import combinations 4 | from collections import defaultdict 5 | import json 6 | 7 | import torch 8 | from sklearn.metrics import f1_score 9 | import numpy as np 10 | from transformers import PretrainedConfig, PreTrainedModel 11 | 12 | from activation_steering.leash_layer import LeashLayer 13 | from activation_steering.utils import custom_progress 14 | from rich.progress import track 15 | from rich.table import Table 16 | from activation_steering.config import log 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | if typing.TYPE_CHECKING: 21 | from .extract import SteeringVector 22 | 23 | 24 | class MalleableModel(torch.nn.Module): 25 | """ 26 | MalleableModel implements conditional activation steering for language models. 27 | 28 | This class wraps a pre-trained language model and provides methods for applying 29 | steering vectors to modify the model's behavior conditionally.
