תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.02893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear probes can be used to detect behaviors and concepts inside language model activations, but may fail to transfer to out-of-distribution examples. When studying the generalization performance of Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct probes over 3 held-out deception detection datasets, we find that projecting inputs onto a small subset of principal components (PCs) from the training distribution of activations enables cross-domain transfer that nearly matches the performance of probes trained directly on the test distribution. Furthermore, we find that PC interpretations can be used to find a subset of those transferable PCs. By using an LLM judge to score each PC on whether its most/ least activating examples imply a transferable deception direction, th
