This episode is just me (Jessica Perry Hekman, DVM, PhD) - talking about a new genetic test for the risk of mitral valve disease in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Cavs are at incredibly high risk of this disease and get it at much younger ages than other breeds. What does this new test mean in terms of predicting if your Cav is at risk, and whether a particular Cav should be bred? I talk about several papers in this episode.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [Paper] Programming Refusal with Conditional Activation Steering, published by Bruce W. Lee on September 12, 2024 on LessWrong. For full content, refer to the arXiv preprint at https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05907. This post is a lighter, 15-minute version. Abstract Existing activation steering methods alter LLM behavior indiscriminately, limiting their practical applicability in settings where selective responses are essential, such as content moderation or domain-specific assistants. We propose Conditional Activation Steering (CAST), which analyzes LLM activation patterns during inference to selectively apply or withhold activation steering based on the input context. Using CAST, one can systematically control LLM behavior with rules like "if input is about hate speech or adult content, then refuse" or "if input is not about legal advice, then refuse." This allows for selective modification of responses to specific content while maintaining normal responses to other content, all without requiring weight optimization. We release an open-source implementation of the activation steering toolkit at https://github.com/IBM/activation-steering. Introduction Problem: Lack of conditional control in activation steering. Activation steering offers a promising alternative to optimization-based techniques by directly manipulating the model's native representations, often requiring only a simple activation addition step during each forward call. Our work here builds on Refusal in LLMs is mediated by a single direction, which has shown promise in altering LLM behavior, such as removing or inducing refusal behavior. However, the key limitation of current methods is the inability to condition when and what to refuse. That is, adding a "refusal vector" using existing activation steering methods increases refusal rates indiscriminately across all inputs, limiting the model's utility. Contribution: Expanding activation steering formulation. We introduce Conditional Activation Steering (CAST), a method that enables fine-grained, context-dependent control over LLM behaviors. We introduce a new type of steering vector in the activation steering formulation, the condition vector, representing certain activation patterns induced by the prompt during the inference process. A simple similarity calculation between this condition vector and the model's activation at inference time effectively serves as a switch, determining whether to apply the refusal vector. This approach allows for selective refusal of harmful prompts while maintaining the ability to respond to harmless ones, as depicted below. Application: Selecting what to refuse. Many alignment goals concern contextually refusing specific classes of instructions. Traditional methods like preference modeling are resource-intensive and struggle with subjective, black-box rewards. Additionally, the definition of harmful content varies across contexts, complicating the creation of universal harm models. The usage context further complicates this variability; for instance, discussing medical advice might be harmful in some situations but essential in others, such as in medical chatbots. We show CAST can implement behavioral rules like "if input is about hate speech or adult content, then refuse" or "if input is not about legal advice, then refuse", allowing for selective modification of responses to specific content without weight optimization. On a technical level, our primary insight is that different prompts consistently activate distinct patterns in the model's hidden states during inference. These patterns can be extracted as a steering vector and used as reference points for detecting specific prompt categories or contexts. This observation allows us to use steering vectors not only as behavior modification mechanisms but also as condition ...

In the first two decades of the twentieth century, New York State was a hotbed of change. Cities grew as immigrants arrived from Europe and African Americans trekked up from the South. Corporations grew in power and women fought for the right to vote. In political speeches, muckraking journalism, and expert reports, New Yorkers argued out the issues of what came to be called The Progressive Era—a period of social and political and change that sparked a range of reform movements. The era and its causes loomed large in New York State, and the reforms fought out and enacted in New York were central to the Progressive Era nationwide. In Progressive New York: Change and Reform in the Empire State, 1900-1920: A Reader (SUNY Press, 2024), Bruce Dearstyne has gathered a wealth of documents that bring to life the issues, ideas and passions of this important era. Dearstyne has written widely on New York State history and worked in many capacities to document and explore the history of the Empire State. He was a professor at the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland, where he still serves as an adjunct professor. Host Robert W. Snyder is Manhattan Borough Historian and professor emeritus of journalism, and American Studies at Rutgers University. His latest book, When the City Stopped: Stories from New York's Essential Workers, is due out in March 2025 from Cornell University Press.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Research Post: Tasks That Language Models Don't Learn, published by Bruce W. Lee on February 23, 2024 on LessWrong. Abstract We argue that there are certain properties of language that our current large language models (LLMs) don't learn. We present an empirical investigation of visual-auditory properties of language through a series of tasks, termed H-Test. This benchmark highlights a fundamental gap between human linguistic comprehension, which naturally integrates sensory experiences, and the sensory-deprived processing capabilities of LLMs. In support of our hypothesis, 1. deliberate reasoning (Chain-of-Thought), 2. few-shot examples, or 3. stronger LLM from the same model family (LLaMA 2 13B -> LLaMA 2 70B) do not trivially bring improvements in H-Test performance. Therefore, we make a particular connection to the philosophical case of Mary, who learns about the world in a sensory-deprived environment. Our experiments show that some of the strongest proprietary LLMs stay near random chance baseline accuracy of 50%, highlighting the limitations of knowledge acquired in the absence of sensory experience. Key Findings on H-Test 1. Insignificant Intra-Family Improvements. A stronger model in the same model family often does not bring meaningful improvement in H-Test performance. 2. Number of Examples Has Minimal Impact. The number of examples given neither increases nor decreases performance significantly, strongly hinting that the LLM is simply not learning from H-Test few-shot examples. 3. Deliberate Reasoning (CoT) Often Decreases Performance. If LLMs benefit from such logical, step-by-step semantic reasoning on the H-Test, this can also imply that H-Test is fundamentally solvable by developing stronger language-only models. But CoT decreases performances in general. 4. Training with more orthography-specific language data does not improve H-Test. We produced 1000 training instances per task in H-Test and fine-tuned gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 ten different times accordingly. After training for three epochs on each task, we evaluated them on H-Test at k = 50 and observed that no significant performance improvement was achieved. 5. Multi-modality does not automatically improve H-Test performance. At the time of writing, LLaVA V1.6 34B is the strongest open-source multi-modal model available. Despite the addition of visual modality, we observe that simply incorporating visual data into the training does not result in a straightforward improvement in H-Test performance. 6 (Important). But the H-Test is solvable, we just don't know how. In our paper, we have reported the seemingly unexplainable (jumping) performance improvement on H-Test from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4. This result is important as it shows that H-Test is indeed solvable (by a GPT-4-level system), but not through conventionally discussed language-only modeling techniques. Acknowledgments and Links I was inspired to do this research due to examples cases given in @Owain_Evans track application for the Constellation Fellowship.

Welcome to the new and expanded Mark McNease Mysteries Podcast! I'll be bringing you interviews, book and series recommendations, and a regular audio small plate from my writing. This week I chat with author Bruce W. Bishop, who I had the pleasure of meeting in person when we were in Halifax two weeks ago on a cruise. Then I talk about Ann Cleeves' Matthew Venn series, and finish up with a two-chapter sample from 'I, Warlock,' my upcoming audiobook narrated by Sean Rhead. Fasten your headphones, and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks.

We discussed the dramatic importance and reassuring safety of vitamin D with Bruce W. Hollis, Ph.D. He is Professor of Pediatrics, Biochemistry and molecular Biology, College of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Director of the Pediatric Nutritional Science at MUSC. A search of the government research database (pubmed.gov) returned 210 papers showing Dr. Hollis as an author. He tells us of some interesting hurdles in conducting and publicizing groundbreaking vitamin D research studies especially regarding pregnancy and breast feeding. Ideas for dealing with leftover Halloween candy.

"There's so much more good coming your way, you gotta show up, you gotta choose it!" In episode 57 of the Talksicology podcast, our hosts banish negativity and welcome special guest, motivational speaker and positivity influencer Bruce W Brackett. Bruce is known for their art, and for cultivating an online community of inclusion and joy, often offering viewers “a cup of love,” and kind words. Bruce says their light comes from trauma, and they draw on the depths of their own struggle to bring that light to others. Like the Talksicology crew, Bruce has had a complicated and difficult relationship with addiction, and says guilt and shame can sometimes make it a lot harder to get clean. Bruce first quit hard drugs nine years ago, and is now celebrating 137 days (and counting!) totally sober! Bruce says throughout their life and recovery they've been fortunate to always have someone in their corner. Jason and Joseph talk about their experience with being both sponsors and sponsees at different points throughout their recovery, and how important those connections can be when you're first getting sober. So come listen and connect with us as we bring a little sparkle to this week's Talksicology.

During the early twentieth century New York State, with its settlement houses, muckraking journalists, labor unions and national political leaders like Theodore Roosevelt, was central to the political ferment of the Progressive Era. And in that time, the New York State Court of Appeals—the state' highest court--made vitally important decisions on the constitutional legitimacy of laws relating to public health, personal liberty, privacy, the regulation of businesses, working hours for women, and compensation for workers injured on the job. The Court of Appeals, Bruce Dearstyne argues in his new book, was in these years a crucible where new and complex public issues were debated and decided. New York State was large in population (and thus spoke loudly in Congress and the Electoral College) and was at the center of fierce debates over topics such as corporate power, labor rights, public health. In The Crucible of Public Policy: New York Courts in the Progressive Era (SUNY Press, 2022), Dearstyne argues that the court's pathbreaking decisions in the Progressive Era echo into our own times. Indeed, he concludes, it was second in importance only to the United States Supreme Court. Robert W.

In The Spirit of New York: Defining Events in the Empire State's History (2nd Edition; SUNY Press, 2022), Bruce W. Dearstyne presents New York State history through an exploration of nineteen dramatic events. From the launch of the state government in April 1777 through the debut of the musical play Hamilton in 2015, Dearstyne puts the fascinating people who made history at the center of the story: John Jay, the lead writer of the first state constitution; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the irrepressible crusader for women's rights; Glenn Curtiss, New York's aviation pioneer; Jackie Robinson, the first Black man to play baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers; and Lois Gibbs, an environmental activist. This new edition is updated with four recent significant events, including the stories of New Yorkers who joined the Occupy protests and those who struggled through Superstorm Sandy. The stories in this book illustrate the spirit of New York--the elusive traits that make New York State unique--and the complexity of its history. Learn more about your ad choices.
