💡 We compare prompting (zero and multi-shot + explanations) and inference-time interventions (ActAdd, REFT and SAEs). Following SpARE (@yuzhaouoe.bsky.social @alessiodevoto.bsky.social), we propose ✨ contrastive SAE steering ✨ with mutual info to personalize literary MT by tuning latent features 4/

MMLU-Redux just touched down at #NAACL2025! 🎉 Wish I could be there for our "Are We Done with MMLU?" poster today (9:00-10:30am in Hall 3, Poster Session 7), but visa drama said nope 😅 If anyone's swinging by, give our research some love! Hit me up if you check it out! 👋
