Activation Steering for LLM Alignment via a Unified ODE-Based Framework

ICLR 2026poster

Activation steering, or representation engineering, offers a lightweight approach to align large language models (LLMs) by manipulating their internal activations at inference time. However, current methods suffer from two key limitations: \textit{(i)} the lack of a unified theoretical framework for…

Accelerating Neural ODEs: A Variational Formulation-based Approach

ICLR 2025poster

Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (Neural ODEs or NODEs) excel at modeling continuous dynamical systems from observational data, especially when the data is irregularly sampled. However, existing training methods predominantly rely on numerical ODE solvers, which are time-consuming and prone to…
