Fit a PCA on the candidates and take the 1st PC to be the second vector
Now we have 2 vectors to make a 2d space
The idea is
since these candidates are extracted from different layers, they would all overlap with the true refusal direction
but the level of overlapping would vary
thus we want a space that when project these candidates onto
maximize their spread
maximize the scalar projections
A different approach that didn’t work:
Take the last 2 PC
the idea was that these candidates all have high overlap with the true direction, so we want to find a projection that minimize the spread but maximize the scalar projections
but this seems to be incorrect since the candidates are extracted from different layers and the strength of the refusal direction might be accumulated as it follows through more layers
this might still work if we narrow down to only select candidates from a subset of middle layers where the refusal signal is strongest experiment
another problem is the number of candidates (number of layers) are much smaller than the number of dimension (the hidden size)
thus most principal components are just orthogonal spaces
should try extracting more candidates from each layer, for example treating each input sample as a candidate instead of taking the mean of them experiment
however this should take significantly more memory and computation
this might affect the generation on harmless inputs as they will also be rotated
but the effect should be minimal
we can even avoid this by using a gating mask with the price of a bit more computation
Results
On Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
Observations
Non-refusal is at maximum strength at around 210 - 220 degree marks
Intuitively, refusal should be at maximum strength at 180 degree away, which is around the 30 - 40 degree marks
The results does show that 30 - 40 marks are at the center of the refusal range, which is from -20 (340) to 100 degree marks
So one can imagine there is a refusal axis where refusal is strongest at one end and non-refusal is strongest at the opposite end
Interesting things happened in the 2 perpendicular regions to the refusal axis
In the 110 - 160 range, the model still provide an answer to the original question but accompany with a warning
It seems like that there’s still a notation of understanding “harmfulness” in these answers
Opposite of that in the range of 290 - 330, the model doesn’t refusal to answer but instead give a “politically correct” (for lacks of better words) answer that promote an ethical approach to the original question
In this case the model suggest to learn about cybersecurity and ethical hacking when asked to write a program to hack into a secure network
Thoughts
Refusal direction is not the same as harmful-harmless direction
The perpendicular direction to the refusal axis in case seems to represent a different but related concept, some possibilities are: usefulness, harmfulness, ethicalness question
it’s likely that it’s does not contain this “other” concept but instead just overlap strongly
