Shifting Perspectives: Steering Vectors for Robust Bias Mitigation in LLMs (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Despite efforts to mitigate social bias in large language models, representational harms such as stereotyping continue to exist in both open and closed-source models. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to modify model activations in forward passes by applying steering vectors to a BBQ dataset and comparing their results to bias mitigation methods. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms 3 other bias mitigation methods on the BBQ dataset and shows the lowest impact on MMLU scores. |
