SwordBench benchmarks steering methods for concept removal in vision models and shows that linear SVMs achieve strong separability and orthogonality but incur collateral damage, while sparse autoencoders often perform better and no method reaches perfect steering even in simple cases.

SwordBench: Evaluating Orthogonality of Steering Image Representations
SwordBench benchmarks steering methods for concept removal in vision models and shows that linear SVMs achieve strong separability and orthogonality but incur collateral damage, while sparse autoencoders often perform better and no method reaches perfect steering even in simple cases.
