Beyond Hidden-Layer Manipulation: Semantically-Aware Logit Interventions for Debiasing LLMs
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We proposed Static and Dynamic -- two zero-shot logits-layer debiasing methods. Dynamic reduces bias by up to 70% with minimal fluency loss. Logits intervention outperforms hidden-layer approaches. We show semantic-aware logits intervention is stable and effective for debiasing aligned LLMs.
