simi_97k · x · 2026-07-12
Introduces the upcoming paper "Steering LLMs for Culturally Localized Generation" to be published at COLM 2026. The study explores which culture LLMs default to aligning with in open-ended questions and how to change this tendency. Methodologically, the research extracts a small number of cultural assertions (around 200) from public datasets, identifies sparse autoencoder features with high mutual information for <sentence, country> pairs, and packages them into Cultural Embeddings (CuE).
