Measuring Steerability in Large Language Models
Official dataset release of a 4D steerability probe (reading difficulty, formality, textual diversity, text length goal-space). Initial probe contains 2,048 prompts used in our work (32 different rewrites over 64 texts).
Dataset format
Each row contains a source text, along with its mappings in goal-space. We provide normalized and unnormalized values of the following for the source text:
- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (
reading_difficulty) - Heylighen-Dewaele F-Score (
formality) - Measure of Textual Lexical Diversity (
textual_diversity) - Word count (
text_length)
We also provide goal vectors (delta_* or target_*) for all goal dimensions.
Results
Shown here: steering error of recent models (median (IQR)).
