- Abstract: Since the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has achieved remarkable success, understanding and controlling their internal complex mechanisms has become an urgent problem. Recent research has attempted to interpret their behaviors through the lens of inner representation. However, developing practical and efficient methods for applying these representations for general and flexible model editing remains challenging. In this work, we explore how to use representation engineering methods to guide the editing of LLMs by deploying a representation sensor as an oracle. We first identify the importance of a robust and reliable sensor during editing, then propose an Adversarial Representation Engineering (ARE) framework to provide a unified and interpretable approach for conceptual model editing without compromising baseline performance. Experiments on multiple model editing paradigms demonstrate the effectiveness of ARE in various settings.

We consider the targeted image editing problem: blending a region in a source image with a driver image that specifies the desired change.
We propose a self-supervised approach that simulates edits by augmenting off-the-shelf images in a target domain.
We show that different blending effects can be learned by an intuitive control of the augmentation process, with no other changes required to the model architecture.
