In this work, we introduce \modelname{}, a novel framework for identifying behavior-relevant modules (heads or layers) in Transformers. For each module, we train a vector-quantized autoencoder (VQ-AE) on its hidden activations, partitioning the latent space into behavior-relevant and behavior-irrelevant subspaces via a shared, learnable codebook. We quantify each module’s behavioral relevance by evaluating how effectively the VQ-AE encodings distinguish between behavior-aligned and behavior-violating responses using a binary classification metric. This relevance score informs both module selection and steering strength.

ABSTRACT
Inference-time steering aims to alter an LLM's responses without changing its parameters. A key challenge lies selecting internal modules that most strongly govern the target behavior; existing approaches often rely on simplistic cues or ad hoc heuristics, leading to suboptimal or unintended effects. In this work, we intro- duce REAL, novel framework for identifying behavior-relews layers) Transformers. For each module, we train a vector-quantized autoencoder (VQ-AE) on its hidden activations, partitioning the latent space into behavior- relevant and eehavior-irrelevee subspaces via shared, learnable codebook. We quantify each module's behavioral relevance by evaluating how effectively the VQ-AE encodings distinguish between behavior-aligned and behavior-violating responses using binary classification metric. This relevance score informs both module selection and steering strength. We evaluate REAL across eight LLMs from model families (LLAMA and QWEN) and nine datasets spanning truthful- ness enhancement, open-domain question answering under knowledge conflicts, and general alignment tasks. REAL enables more effective inference-time inter- ventions, yielding significant improvements on these steering tasks. Notably, it achieves an average relative improvement of 20% (up to 81.5%) over the seminal ITT method (Li et al. 2023a) on truthfulness steering.

INTRODUCTION
Post-hoc control of large language models (LLMs) has emerged critical area for advancing model alignment and safety. Activation (representation) steering (Turner et al.) [223aa] Rimsky et al., 2024) achieves behavioral modulation by injecting an additive "steering vector" into intermediate activations during inference, without modifying any model parameters. In comparison to parameter-efficient fine-tuning (Rafailov al., 2023) and neural knowledge editing (Meng et al., 2022), activation steering is minimally intrusive, computationally efficient, and often exhibits greater robustness to out-of-distee -i--tri-ditiittiion scenarios (Li et al. 2023a Lee et al. 2024 Zhang et al., [2024] Arditi et al. 2024).
The steering process generally consists of two main steps: (I) identifying internal modules (e.g., attention heads) associated with the target behavior, and (II) constructing steering vectors to modify the corresponding activations.
While substantial research has focused on developing more effective steering vectors (Wang et al. 2025 |aayt al. 2024 Zhao al. 2025). the questions of optimal intervention location (layer/heaa selection) and intervention strength (intensity scheduling) remain underexplored. Current steering methods often depend on simplistic linear probing (Li et al. 2023a Zhao al.) 2025). ad-hoc empirical heuristics (Yin et al. 2024), or computationally intensive cross-validation (Zhang et al.
2024 Rimsky et al. 2024) for module selection. Internal components of LLMs,, such as attention

Ferrando et al. 2024 Zhao et al. 2025). making it difficult to isolate or detect behavior-specific
features using simple linear probes.

To highlight the critical importance of module selection and the limitations of Stnear-probe-basee methods, we present a comparative analysis Fig. and Fig. Specifically, Fig. displays the top 48 attention heads identified by the ITI (Li et al. 2023a) method, which employs a logistic regression probe, alongside the top 48 heads identified by our proposed REAL method. Notably, there is minimal overlap between the sets. As result, steering the Llama2-7B-Chhe model using ITT and REAL produces markedly different outcomes. The snnear-rrobe-bare selection employed by IT'I often leads unstable generations and, in some cases, unintended degradations such as unsupported claims, speculation, and increased hallucinations. In contrast, steering with heads localized by REAL results in outputs that are more faithfully informative, factually aligned, and appropriately calibrated in refusal, thereby better maintaining truthfulness. Given the inherent tension between informativeness and truthfulness, accurate head identification is essential for mitigating this trade-off. A complete list of answers is provided in Appendix A.7
Our method, REAL (REading out Transformer Activations for precise Localization in language model steering). addresses the limitations of linear-probe paaar---obbbbaeed approaches by learning a disentangled latent space that nonlinearly maps the complex hidden activations of each module (head or layer) into behavior-relevant and behavior-irrelvaat components, thereby facilitating the extraction of behavior- specific features. Specifically, for each module, we train a vector- quanti-e autoencoder (VQ- AE) (Van Den Oord et al. 2017) whose latent space is explicitly partitioned into multiple subspaces, with all subspaces quantized using a shared, learnable codebook. The VQ-AE is optimized using a standard reconstruction loss in conjunction with supervised contrastive loss, which encourages the

separation of positive and negative behaviors. Through this training process, the model automatically identifies behavior-relevant and iireleaatt features, which are represented as code words in the codebook. After training, the VQ-AE generates a discrete sequence of codes for each module. To assess behavioral relevance, we fit an autoregressive prior Pa over these discrete codes and use the resulting likelihoods to estimate alignment with the target hehavior. For each module, we evaluate how effectively these likelihoods distinguish between Sehavior-alignede and behavior-violating responses (e.g., using AUC-ROC). yielding a relevance score that quantifies the module's 's discriminative capacity. This score guides both module selection and the assignment of importance weights (steering strength) during the intervention.
To demonstrate the effectiveness of REAL, we evaluate it across eight LLMs from two leading open- source families-ILLAMA A and QWEN. We apply our hele-selection strategy to two common attention variants: standard multi-head attention (e.g., Llama-7B) and grouped-query attention (GQA) (Ainslie) al., 2023b) (e.g.. Qwen2.5-7B). REAL integrates seamlessly with established behavior-steerine methods, including the mean-differencee baseline ITI (Li et al. 2023a) and the fine-tuning approach LoFiT (Yin et al. 2024). On truthfulness steering, REAL delivers an average relative improvement of 20% (up to 81 31.5%) over ITI across the evaluated models. The heads selected by REAL exhibit strong zero-shot, cross- generalization for truthfulness steering. We further evaluate REAL on challenging open-domain QA tasks involving knowledge conflicts, demonstrating its ability to enable effective, fine-grained, layer-level steering using both context-rrovided and memorized parametrie knowledge. Additionally, we show that REAL achieves significant improvements on general alignment objectives, further validating its effectiveness in steering model behavior.
2 PRELIMINARIES AND RELATED WORK
Activation engineering typically conducted at either the head level (Li et al., 2023a; Yin et al. 2024) the layer level (Rimsky et al. 2024 Zhao et al.) 2025), with both approaches following similar procedures. In this section, we illustrate the process of activation steering at the head level. This process generally involves three primary steps: (I) select set of behaviour-linkes attention heads; (II) for each selected head, compute a steering vector from its activations; and (III) during decoding, add the (optionally scaled) steering vector the head's activation bias the model toward the desired behaviour.
Step 1: Head Selection. In a decoder-only LLM,, each transformer layer typically employs multiple parallel self-attention heads, enabling each head to specialize in distinct patterns, such as induction and long-range fact retrieval (Wu et al. (024). We denote the selected subset of attention heads as G C ((, 1 E {I,..., Lj. i [I...., H } where I is the layer index, L is the number of transformer layers, h is the head index within each layer, and H is the number of heads per layer. Notably, |g| < LH.
The selection of attention heads for intervention is a critical factor (Yin et al. 2024). Accurate identification of relevant heads can effectively elicit the desired behavior, whereas incorrect selection may severely degrade model performance. widely adopted approach utilizes linear probes (Zhao) ett al. 20255 Li et al.) 2023a). wherein binary logistic regression probe is trained on the hidden activations of each attention head to assess their behavior predictivity and rank them accordingly. However, behavior-related features are often entangled and may not be linearly separable, which limits the effectiveness of linear probing. Alternatively. LoFiT (Yin et al.) (024) learns a per-head scalar via preference tuning and uses the magnitude of these scalars to estimate behavior relevance. While this method leverages empirical evidence from training, it may lack robustness and generalizability.
JoLA (Lai et al., (025)) enhances LoFiT with learned gating module, enabling end-to-end training. Other approaches (Rimsky et al. [024]] Arditi et al. [024|] Zhang et al. (2024) involve computationally intensive cross-validation and manual selection of layers for intervention. These limitations highlight the need for more principled, effective, and efficient method for module selection.
Step 2: Steering Vector Derivation. For an input token sequence {21, 22, the -pecifcc context vector at time step t is computed as

Figure 3: Overview of the proposed REAL framework. We use activations from each attention head to train a VQ-AE, aiming to learn a disentangled, quantized latent space. The VQ-AE is trained using latent contrastive loss in conjunction with the standard VQ loss. The discrete encodings produced by the VQ-AE are then used to train a scoring function that outputs the probability of a given encoding corresponding the target behavior. Finally, a binary classification metric, such as the area under the ROC curve (AUC-ROC), is employed to determine the behavioral-relevane score for each head.

The mean-difference vector is most commonly employed in existing literature (Lee et al. 2024 Turner al.) 2023b Rimsky et al. 2024 Li et al. 2023a). Recent studies have investigated alternative approaches to derive more effective steering vectors. For example, LoFiT (Yin et al. 2024) learns steering vectors through preference tuning; TruthFlow (Wang et al., (2225) introduces context- conditioned, flow-based method for generating steering vectors; and SpARE (Zhao et al., 2025 utilizes sparse auto-encoders extract more accurate and disentangled directions.
Step 3: Steering. During decoding, the activation of each selected head is perturbed by:
h (1,0 h(t..) (t.)).), (L, G,
where (1.a) is the steering vector for head (1, i) and E R controls the steering strength. A recent study, LITO (Bayat et al. 2024), contends that constant steering strength cannot capture polysemantic dynamics and proposes dynamically adapting the steering intensity.
In this work, we leverage VQ-AE (Van Den Oord et al. 2017) to encode activations into discrete latent codes, which are then used to train scoring function for head selection. VQ-AE is widely used for compressing high-dimensional representations in neural networks. Furthermore, many modern vision and multimodal language models have adopted VQ-AB-style discrete coding to efficiently
represent high-dimensional inputs such as images (Razavi et al. 2019 Esser et al. 2021).
PROPOSED MODULE SELECTION METHOD: REAL
In this section, we introduce our proposed REAL method for module selection and importance- weighted steering, as illustrated in Fig. 3 Although describe the process at the head level, it can be straightforwardly extended to the layer level. To identify behavior-discrimiatti patterns from attention head activations, we propose learning disentangled, quantized latent space encode the

activations from each attention head. These encodings then used to train a scoring function to assess the relevance of each head in relation to the target behavior.
3.1 LEARNING A DISENTANGLED REPRESENTATION SPACE FOR ENCODING HEAD ACTIVATIONS
Given an input token sequence T2,......... ,r), we use the last token activations of attention heads, h(44), to distill behavior indicative information. As illustrated in Fig. 3 a vector-quantized autoencoder (VQ-AE) takes the activations of single attention head as input and projects them into a quantized latent space, yielding discrete encodings, represented as sequences of codebook indices.
Let hT (1.i) E Rd denote the representation generated by attention head i in layer 1. An encoder E: Rdh - Rd projects this vector into lower-dimensional embedding z!!.i) A(( E R.d. Notably, we divide (1.i)) into U segments (termed semantic units), each with length dn de/U:
(1:

(1.1) will be quantized via nearest- neihhbbu search in a learnable codebook
Each semantic unit Zu == {c& d A I...., K}. The corresponding codebook index for each semantic unit is obtained by:
(1.5) arg min [2(11 cx1122
Ra
kE(L.....
(L.1) where (( (1,...,K) and Ri activation.
(1,5)
denotes the resulting discrete code sequence for the head
The rationale for this design is to decompose the latent embedding vector z (f.1) into semantic units that capture the positive (behavior- prooriorrroooongg) and negative (bchavior-inhibiting) facets of the target behavior. This partitioning also isolates behavior-relevant from behavior-imellvant factors, yielding a more disentangled representation space that enables reliable identification of discriminative heads.
Key Insight:
The decoder D reconstructs the head activation by approximating each semantic unit using entries

(1.6)
(8)
For each validation example vall = D val UD val proceed in two steps: (i) run the trained VQ-AE to obtain the discrete code sequence for head (1, i); (ii) we score x by the log-likelihood ratio between the positive and negative priors:
r(z) log po+ (z) log po- (z),
Note: For readability, we omit the explicit mapping (1.6)) VQ(x) and slightly abuse notation by using r to denote the GRU prior input (i.e., the discrete code sequence).
Autoregressive priors are a natural fit for discrete VQ code sequences: by modeling each code conditioned on its predecessors, they capture the sequential, compositional dependencies among codes and yield well-defined likelihoods over code sequences. In our setting, the log-likelihood ratio between the positive and negative priors provides calibrated evidence of behavior relevance.
Key Insight:
We then use ((x) as the positive-class score and define the head relevance score as
((..)) = =AUC [(((())(.) v) (x, y) E Drail):
(10)
where AUC denotes the ROC-AUC, i.e., the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. It summarizes how well a binary classifier separates (or ranks) positive instances above negative ones across all decision thresholds; equivalently, it is the probability that randomly chosen positive is assigned a higher score than a randomly chosen negative. In our setting, larger AUC values indicate a stronger association between head (1, i) and the target behavior.
Next, we rank all heads by their scores g(.5)) and select the top S heads form the intervention set G. Compared with the standard additive intervention in Eq. 2 we scale each head by its normalized relevance score:

4.1 STEERING TOWARD TRUTHFULNESS
To evaluate its effectiveness in soliciting truthful responses, we apply REAL on the TRUTHFUL.QQ QA dataset.
Head Selection and Intervention. We rank all attention heads with REAL and intervene on the top heads: 48 for REALm using mean-difference vectors (ITI protocol (Li et al. (023a)), and 32 for REALLORT using preference- vectors (LoFiT (Yin et al. 2024)). Training one head takes about 50 seconds and 758 MB of GPU memory; The training be accelerated through parallel batch training.
Results on TRUTHFUL Table reports MC1 and MC2 (Lin et al. 2022 Using heads selected by REAL, both ITI and LoFiT improve on both metrics. LoFiT results for Llama-3 and Qwen are unavailable because the official LoFiT code does not yet support these models. Gains are large: for Qwen2.5-7BBInntruue REALm improves by ~ 81.5% (MC1) and ~ 58.5% (MC2); for Llama-7B, by 25.0% and 26.0%. We also observe ITI alone failing on Qwen and Llama-3.1, likely due to grouped-query attention (GQA) (Ainslic et al. 2023a).
Results on Free-form Generation. We additionally run an LLM-as-judge evaluation using OpenAI gpt-5-mini on two binary dimensions: truthfulness and informativeness. Since davinci-002 judges are deprecated, we use a currently supported judge and provide the exact evaluation prompt in Appendix A.3
Table summarizes full -Ld-gs- results in the main paper. On Llama2-7B- Chat, REALITI improves truthfulness (54.59 + 77.64) and informativeness (6.23 + 27.55), while REAL also improves both dimensions (67.68 -> 75.23; 18.73 - 28.50). On Qwen2.5-7BBIInstrece REALITI improves truthfulness (57.48 + 80.60), informativeness (25.79 - 39.84), and the composite score (14.82 + 12.
Transferability of Selected Heads from TRUTHFULQA to Knowledge- and CLUTRR. We test zero-shot transfer by reusing heads selected on TRUTHFULQA without additional tuning.

STEERING TOWARD CONTEXTUAL OR PARAMETRIC KNOWLEDGE SELECTION
We further apply REAL to knowledge-conflict QA, where external context contradicts parametric memory. LLMs often over-rely on context in this setting (Su et al., 2024 Xie et al. 2024), but robust systems should able to switch between contextual and parametric knowledge to resist misinformation (Chen & Shu 2023 Mallen et al. 2023). Our goal is to steer this choice inference time.
Layer Selection and Intervention. For Llama3-8B, train REAL each layer's activations, compute AUC, and rank all 32 layers (Table 13). We then follow SPARE (Zhao et al. 2025) to extract steering vectors from SAEs selected layers. Training layer takes about minutes and 1614 MB of GPU memory; we train 20 layers in parallel per batch.
Results NQSWAP and MACNOISE. Following SPARE (Zhao et al.) 2025). each test sample uses three non-conflicting demonstrations and one conflicting context. We report LLAMA3-88 results only, since public SAE weights are currently available only for this model. Intervening on layers with AUC > 88% yields substantial EM gains on both datasets. Compared with SPARE's layer set (13-16), REAL identifies broader useful (5, 11, 12, and 13-16), indicating better layer localization. Further details are in Appendix A.4
4.3 STEERING TOWARD GENERAL ALIGNMENT TARGETS
To assess REAL's ability to localize heads and layers for general behavior steering, we evaluate on the ADVANCED AI RISK benchmark, including CORRIGIBILITY, HALLUCINATION, MYOPIC REWARD, and SURVIVAL INSTINCT.
Layer Selection and Intervention. For each attention head, train REAL and compute AUC. We aggregate head-wise AUC into layer scores via a noisy-OR approach (Appendix (A.5) and apply mean-difference steering vectors to selected layers. Steering direction and strength controlled by

a scalar multiplier. Following CAA (Rimsky et al. 2024), we report the average token probability of behavior-aligned answers.
Results on the Four Behavioral Datasets. CAA is used as an analysis protocol rather than
competing baseline. In Table positive multipliers top-five layers consistently increase target behavior probabilities, while negative multipliers suppress them; effects on the last five layers are weaker and less consistent. These results show reliable layer-wise control by REAL across alignment targets.
Effect of Training Data Size. We train REAL using 50% and 100% of the TRUTHFULQA training set. As shown in Table reducing training data hurts ITI much more than REAL. Even with only 50% of the data, REAL still outperforms ITT trained on the full dataset and the no-steering baseline.

4.4 ABLATION STUDIES
Effect of Adaptive Intervention Strength and Number of Steered Heads. With 48 steered heads fixed (ITI setting), we sweep E [0,30] (Table 8). REAL consistently outperforms ITI, especially at high where ITI degrades (e.g., E = 20: 42.84 84 26.09). Adaptive strength also improves stability across a wider range. Table T further shows that REAL remains stronger across a broad range of head counts and avoids sharp degradation when more heads are steered.
Disentangled Representations in the VQ Latent Space for Top- Pop-Performing Heads. As shown in Fig. 4 the raw activations of the cop-perfrmming head (L11-H22) and the weakest head (L30- H27) show minimal ability to separate truthful from untruthful answers. After quantization with our trained VQ-AEs, embeddings from L11-H22 become clearly separable, whereas those from L30-H21 remain largely indistinguishable. Codebook- histograms corroborate this: normalized codeword frequencies diverge for truthful vs. untruthful activations in L1 L11-H22 but align for L30-H27. These patterns indicate disentangled representations for L11-H22 and limited separability for L30-H27.
Hyperparameter Ablations: Codebook Size, Semantic Units, Contrastive-Loos Weight, and Training Set Size. Figure reports ablations for codebook size K, semantic units U, and contrastive- loss weight; Table 6 reports training-set-size ablations. We vary one hyperparameter at time with defaults K 32 and U 8, and sweep {1, 10-1 10-2 10-3, 0). The best configuration is K 32, U = 8, and a 10-3
CONCLUSION
We have introduced REAL, a novel method for module selection in behavioral intervention for LLMs. REAL effectively disentangles behavior-relevant features from complex Transformer activations, enabling precise identification of hehavior-discriminati patterns for targeted intervention. The proposed module selection strategy integrates seamlessly with state-of-the-ar behavior steering methods. Extensive experiments across eight LLMs and nine behavioral datasets demonstrate the effectiveness, data efficiency, computational efficiency, and zero-shot cross-domain generalizability of our approach in guiding inference-ting interventions.

ETHICS STATEMENT
This work presents safety-oriented steering method for large language models, aimed at encouraging alignment with broadly shared human values (such as avoiding deceptive, harmful, or unsafe content) by modulating a small set of attention-head activations at inference time. The intervention lightweight, reversible, and bounded in magnitude, and does not alter model weights or training data. is intended exclusively to enhance safety-relevand behavior, rather than to expand capabilities in sensitive domains.
Although we do not anticipate direct risks or harms to society from this method, we recognize the potential for unintended consequences misuse, including the possibility of these techniques being repurposed for undue restriction of information or manipulation. To mitigate such risks, recommend that deployment of this method be accompanied by appropriate human oversight, transparency, and accountability measures. We believe that, when used responsibly, this approach can contribute positively to the safe and ethical use of large language models.

A APPENDIX
A.1 DATASETS AND TRAINING DETAILS
Experiments were run on a single NVIDIA H100 (80GB) GPU with Py Paszke al. (019 and HuggingFace Transformers Wolf 2019). We evaluated models from two families: Llama Jlama-7B. Llama2-7B, Vicuna-7B, Llama2- 70-2--B-hhat Llama-3.1 1-BB-BB-BB---- 1e11-8B-Inntee Instrruct, Llama2- 13B-a22-----B- 13B-Chat) and Qwen (Qwen2.5-7B, Qwen2.5-7B. Instruut.. For head-wise VQ-AE training. both encoder and decoder use one-layer MIP to halve the original hidden dim. The encoder output partitioned into 8 semantic units that are quantised with a codebook of size 32. We set the contrastive-lost weight as Le 3, and set the VQ-VAE commitment coefficient in Eq. (5) to 3 0.25.
Implementation Details
Unless otherwise specified, each VQ-VAE model trained on head-wise activations is trained for 20 epochs using the Adam optimizer with a learning rate of le - 3 with batch size 32. For the autoregressive behavior prior, employ a single-layer GRU with a hidden dimension of 64, which also trained using Adam with a learning rate of 1e - 3 for 10 epochs. All results are averaged over three independent runs with different random seeds. We provide training results in the released code repository.
Datasets For head-wise steering, we apply Truthfulness (TruthfulQA) and Al Risk Behaviors to show the effectiveness REAL.
Truthfulness (TruthfulQA) (Lin et al. 2022 comprises 817 questions across 38 categories (e.g., health, law, and polities), designed test whether language models produce factually accurate answers rather than imitative falsehoods that mirror common human misconcep- tions. We follow prior work and adopt two-fold evaluation protocol; specifically, we report MC1 and MC2 on this dataset (Li et al.
2023a).
AI Risk Behaviors. Following (Rimsky et al. 2024), we further evaluate our method spe- cialized subsets that probe four behavioral traits: hallucination, myopic reward, corrigibility, and survival instinct. All subsets are implemented in a multiple-choice question-answeringg format. The hallucination subset is generated by GPT-4, while the remaining subsets are derived from Anthropic's 's Advanced Al Risk human-writ written evaluation dataset (Perez et al. 2022). Examples are presented in Table
(1) Corrigibility: Tests whether the model is receptive to correction and updates its behavior when given feedback, i.e., whether it can revise answers to better align with user instructions.
(2) Hallucination: Tests whether the model avoids producing fabricated or unsub- stantiated content, contrasting grounded answers with hallucinated ones (generated by GPT-4).
(3) Myopic Reward:
Probes whether the model over-optimizes for immediate, short- horizon gains, contrasting myopic responses with those that account for longer-term consequences.
(4) Survival Instinet: Examines whether the model exhibits a bias toward self- preservation, and whether it can ignore such tendencies and focus solely on the task.
Generalization Evaluation. To assess cross-domain generalization, we apply the steering heads selected on TRUTHFULQQ without any additional fine-tuning to two out-of-domain benchmarks, MQUAKE and CLUTRR. We report exact match (EM) on the test splits, which contain 864 and 450 question-answe pairs, respectively (Cohen et al., 2024). Table compares REAL against tuning- ffreng-free (ITI) and fine-tuning (LoFIT) steering baselines in zero-shot setting. Note that the official LoFIT implementation does not currently support newer models (c.g., Qwen2.5 and Llama3); therefore, we report these cross-domal results using Jlama2-7B-Chan

Heatmaps on different models Fig. presents heatmaps of the behavior-relevance scores for each attention head on TRUTUFULQA across four distinct models. The results indicate that the distribution of nop-performing heads varies substantially between models, with no consistent patterns emerging. This variability highlights the challenges of identifying behavior-relevant heads, as there is no straightforward method for their selection. Thus, these findings underscore the need for approaches like REAL accurately localize relevant attention heads.

A.4 KNOWLEDGE SELECTION
Training Details. Given the 4.096-dimensional layer activations in Llama3-8B, we train REAL with a codebook size of 256 and unit size of 32. 'he learning rates for the VQ-AE and GRU prior are le and le - 3, respectively. The contrastive loss coefficient is le 3. We train the VQ-autoencoder for 30 epochs and the GRU prior for 10 epochs.
Baselines. We compare our method against the following cnference-time representation engineering methods: Task Vec (Hendel et al., 2023), ActAdd (Turner al., (223c)), SEA (Qiu al. 2024) in variants, denoted by subscripts "linear" and "SqExp". We use the code base from SPARE (Zhao et al., (025). We also compare with the following contrastive decoding methods:

A.5 LAYER STEERING
CAA Behavior Score For each answer token sequence V1, ..,... Mr, we first compute the token- wise log probabilities using the model's conditional probability estimates:
log P(ys vee))
In our evaluation, we generate both a positive answer (exhibiting the target behavior) and a negative answer. Let Tapos and T-eg denote the total log probabilities for the positive and negative prompts,

respectively. We then compute the normalized probability that the model favors the desired behavior using the following core equation:
exp (Lpos)
pos
exp ppps)) + exp (Ireg)
Finally, by averaging Ppos over the evaluation dataset, we obtain the overall performance score corresponding to the specific behavior.
Layer Scoring. Here, we elaborate on our proposed head-to-layer scoring method.
1. Average Confidence per Layer: for each layer 1, compute the average confidence score:
$t
H4
KEML
where H, is the set of heads in layer
Fraction of Heads Above Global Threshold: we define a global threshold so that heads with scores higher than represent the top p% of all scores. Typically, is computed as the (100 - pp)-th percentile over the collection of all head scores, and we use = for all experiments:
T Percentile (fStA 100 - p).
Then, for each layer I, we calculate the fraction heads whose scores exceed
Σ I(SLA 2 2),
hERi
where I(.) the indicator function.
3. Noisy-OR Style Combination: We define the composite score using noisy-OR (Paal 2014) inspired function:
= Si-
When both š and fi are viewed as normalized scores or probabilities, the Noisy-OR combination represents the probability that at least one of the conditions (high average confidence or high fraction of heads) is met. This mirrors the union probability of independent events.
example ranking list for the hallucination dataset is provided in the supplementary analysis.
A.6 LLM USAGE
We used Al assistants exclusively for non-substantive editing tasks: (i) polishing the manuscript's language and (ii) improving the readability of code comments. Al tools were not employed for experiment design, method implementation, result generation analysis, the writing of scientific content.
For the manuscript, Al-assisted edits were limited to grammar, clarity, and style, without altering the technical meaning. For the codebase, Al assistants suggested or refined comments (e.g.. clarifying intent, inputs/outputs, and non-obvious rationale); no executable code was authored or modified by AI.
All Al-assisted outputs were manually reviewed and approved by the authors. No proprictary or sensitive data were shared with Al services, and the authors assume full responsibility for the paper and code.

A more proper baseline is to steer using LoFiT-selected heads on the same transfer tasks.\n\nThe paper could benefit from including more latest baselines, like JOLA (Lai et al., 2025), which also studies how to localize specific modules.\n\nThe approach seems to be much more complex than existing methods, while the absolute improvements over LoFit are only 1-2% on TruthfulQA. REAL requires training a VQ-AE with contrastive loss plus an autoregressive scoring function. This probably adds substantial complexity compared to simple tuning methods (like in LoFIT), as well as introducing many hyperparameters: number of semantic units, codebook size, contrastive loss weight, temperature, and all the standard VQ-AE hyperparameters.", "quality": null, "clarity": null, "significance": null, "originality": null, "strengths_and_weaknesses": "", "was_revised": false, "final_justification": "", "rebuttal": "", "claims_and_evidence": "", "methods_and_evaluation_criteria": "", "theoretical_claims": "", "experimental_designs_or_analyses": "", "relation_to_broader_scientific_literature": "", "essential_references_not_discussed": "", "other_strengths_and_weaknesses": "", "other_comments_or_suggestions": "", "questions_for_authors": "", "summary_of_paper": "", "summary_of_recommendation": "", "technical_quality": "", "clarity_of_presentation": "", "potential_impact": "", "robotics_focus": "", "quality_of_limitations": "", "questions_for_rebuttal": "", "reasons_to_accept": "", "reasons_to_reject": "", "questions_to_authors": "", "extra_scores": {}}]
