personalized steering of large language models: versatile steering vectors through bi-directional preference optimization
researchers have been studying approaches to steer the behavior of large language models (llms) and build personalized llms tailored for various applications. while fine-tuning seems to be a direct solution, it requires substantial computational resources and may significantly affect the utility of the original llm. recent endeavors have introduced more lightweight strategies, focusing on extracting "steering vectors" to guide the model's output toward desired behaviors by adjusting activations within specific layers of the llm's transformer architecture. however, such steering vectors are directly extracted from the activations of human preference data and thus often lead to suboptimal results and occasional failures, especially in alignment-related scenarios. this work proposes an innovative approach that could produce more effective steering vectors through bi-directional preference optimization. our method is designed to allow steering vectors to directly influence the generation probability of contrastive human preference data pairs, thereby offering a more precise representation of the target behavior. by carefully adjusting the direction and magnitude of the steering vector, we enabled personalized control over the desired behavior across a spectrum of intensities. extensive experimentation across various open-ended generation tasks, particularly focusing on steering ai personas, has validated the efficacy of our approach. moreover, we comprehensively investigate critical alignment-concerning scenarios, such as managing truthfulness, mitigating hallucination, and addressing jailbreaking attacks. remarkably, our method can still demonstrate outstanding steering effectiveness across these scenarios. furthermore, we showcase the transferability of our steering vectors across different models/loras and highlight the synergistic benefits of applying multiple vectors simultaneously.

the influence of centralization and directional preference on spinal control in patients with nonspecific neck pain
the prevalence of neck pain is estimated at 20-70% and represents the second leading musculoskeletal cause of disability in the united states. mechanical diagnosis and therapy (mdt) is a system of musculoskeletal examination and treatment which involves an analysis of the patient’s response to end range repeated movements. the testing of end range repeated movements may determine a direction of motion that improves the person’s symptoms and/or movement and is referred to as a directional preference (dp). the deep neck flexor test (dnft) assesses neuromuscular control of the cervical spine, which is often impaired in people with neck pain. a published case study of a person with neck pain found a relationship between directional preference and improved deep neck flexor strength. the purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between dp and neuromuscular control, as measured with the dnft, in patients referred for physical therapy at the catholic health system of buffalo, ny.

arithmetic control of llms for diverse user preferences: directional preference alignment with multi-objective rewards
fine-grained control over large language models (llms) remains a significant challenge, hindering their adaptability to diverse user needs. while reinforcement learning from human feedback (rlhf) shows promise in aligning llms, its reliance on scalar rewards often limits its ability to capture diverse user preferences in real-world applications. to address this limitation, we introduce the directional preference alignment (dpa) framework. unlike the scalar-reward rlhf, dpa incorporates multi-objective reward modeling to represent diverse preference profiles. additionally, dpa models user preferences as directions (i.e., unit vectors) in the reward space to achieve user-dependent preference control. our method involves training a multi-objective reward model and then fine-tuning the llm with a preference-conditioned variant of rejection sampling finetuning (rsf), an rlhf method adopted by llama 2. this method enjoys a better performance trade-off across various reward objectives. in comparison with the scalar-reward rlhf, dpa offers users intuitive control over llm generation: they can arithmetically specify their desired trade-offs (e.g., more helpfulness with less verbosity). we also validate the effectiveness of dpa with real-world alignment experiments on mistral-7b. our method provides straightforward arithmetic control over the trade-off between helpfulness and verbosity while maintaining competitive performance with strong baselines such as direct preference optimization (dpo).
