Persona-Conditional Steering — Gemma-2-27B-IT Activations (v2)

Mean assistant-turn hidden-state activations from google/gemma-2-27b-it, recorded while the model role-plays one of 17 personas and answers questions under different trait-shaping instructions. The activations are the raw inputs that the project's contrastive steering vectors are computed from (mean(pos) − mean(neg) per persona × trait).

This is the v2 release — the version used for the paper. Earlier outputs/gemma-2-27b-it/{activations,caa_activations}/ directories in the source repo are superseded.

Source code: github project repo — Persona-Conditional Steering Vectors (see pipeline/2_activations.py).

What's in the box

Folder	Method	Files	Size	Samples / file	Tensor shape
`activations/`	Instruction-Variant (IV)	272 (17 personas × 8 traits × {pos, neg})	~11 GB	100 = 5 instruction variants × 20 sampled questions	`(46, 4608)` fp16
`caa_activations/`	Contrastive Activation Addition (CAA)	272	~54 GB	500	`(46, 4608)` fp16
`neutral_activations/`	Per-persona neutral baselines (no trait instruction)	12	~245 MB	50	`(46, 4608)` fp16
`responses/`	Source conversations for `activations/` and `caa_activations/`	272 JSONL	~40 MB	—	text
`neutral_responses/`	Source conversations for `neutral_activations/`	12 JSONL	~0.7 MB	—	text
`personas/`	Persona YAMLs (system prompt + 5 variants per persona) — only the 17 personas used by v2	17 YAML	~0.5 MB	—	text
`prompts/`	Trait dataset JSONs (5 instruction variants + 100 questions per trait, plus a `caa/` subdir with CAA-specific prompts)	18 files	~1 MB	—	text
`vectors/`	Contrastive IV steering vectors `mean(pos) − mean(neg)`	136 `.pt`	~110 MB	1	`(46, 4608)` fp16
`caa_vectors/`	Contrastive CAA steering vectors	136 `.pt`	~110 MB	1	`(46, 4608)` fp16

46 is the transformer layer count of gemma-2-27b-it and 4608 is its hidden size.

Personas (17)

actor_in_rehearsal, con_artist, contrarian_deceiver, drill_sergeant, farmer, kindergarten_teacher, nonsense, null, pathological_liar, politician, professor, six_year_old, sociopath, street_hustler, surgeon, tech_ceo, therapist.

The 10 core archetypes are described in the project README. nonsense and null are control personas; the remaining six are extension personas used for robustness / generalization analyses.

The neutral baseline set covers the 10 core personas plus nonsense and null.

Traits (8)

assertiveness, confidence, deference, empathy, honesty, impulsivity, risk_taking, warmth.

File schema

Each .pt file is a torch.save'd Python dict mapping sample-key → tensor:

{
  "v0_q0":  Tensor[46, 4608] (float16),   # variant 0, question 0
  "v0_q1":  Tensor[46, 4608] (float16),
  ...
  "v4_q99": Tensor[46, 4608] (float16),   # CAA: all 5 variants × 100 questions
}

For IV files, keys span v{0..4}_q{0..19} — 5 instruction variants × 20 questions = 100 samples. Each pos / neg file pair shares the same (v, q) indices but differs only in the trait-shaping instruction prefix.
For CAA files, keys span v{0..4}_q{0..99} — 500 samples per file.
For neutral files, naming is just {persona}.pt with 50 samples (no trait conditioning).

Each tensor is the mean activation over the assistant-turn tokens, per layer. Activations were extracted with PyTorch forward hooks on each transformer block's output (via assistant_axis.ProbingModel + ActivationExtractor + SpanMapper).

Loading

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import torch

path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="girishgupta/persona-steering-activations",
    filename="activations/farmer_assertiveness_pos.pt",
    repo_type="dataset",
)
acts = torch.load(path, map_location="cpu", weights_only=False)
print(len(acts), next(iter(acts.values())).shape)  # 100, torch.Size([46, 4608])

To grab everything:

huggingface-cli download girishgupta/persona-steering-activations --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./acts

Computing the steering vectors

import torch

pos = torch.load("activations/farmer_assertiveness_pos.pt", weights_only=False)
neg = torch.load("activations/farmer_assertiveness_neg.pt", weights_only=False)

pos_mean = torch.stack(list(pos.values())).float().mean(0)   # (46, 4608)
neg_mean = torch.stack(list(neg.values())).float().mean(0)
v_farmer_assertiveness = pos_mean - neg_mean                 # (46, 4608)

This reproduces the outputs/gemma-2-27b-it/v2/vectors/{persona}_{trait}.pt artifacts from step 3 of the pipeline.

Reproducibility / audit trail

Every activation file has a sibling text file under responses/ (or neutral_responses/) with the same stem. Each line of the JSONL is one sample:

{
  "variant_index": 2,
  "question_index": 17,
  "conversation": [
    {"role": "system", "content": "..."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "..."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "..."}
  ],
  ...
}

The (v{variant_index}_q{question_index}) keys in the .pt files correspond directly to entries in the JSONL. To audit: take the conversation, replay it through google/gemma-2-27b-it, mean-pool the assistant-turn hidden states per layer, and compare to the tensor at the matching key.

Model

All activations are from google/gemma-2-27b-it. The model itself is not redistributed here; see Google's license for the weights.
