Learn to predict side effects of sparse autoencoder steering in language models using feature statistics, improving steering modularity and effect stability

advanced Published 9 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Compute feature statistics before steering using sparse autoencoder features
  2. Apply pre-intervention screening framework to forecast side effects
  3. Evaluate steering modularity and effect stability using the predicted side effects
  4. Refine the steering process based on the predicted side effects
  5. Test the refined steering process to ensure improved modularity and stability
