Before doing anything, you'll need to generate activations for the datasets. You should have your own LLaMA weights stored on the machine where you cloned this repo. Put the absolute path for the directory containing your LLaMA weights in the file config.ini; Huggingface repos are also supported.
Once that's done, you can generate the LLaMA activations for the datasets you'd like to work with with a command like
python generate_acts.py --model llama-2-13b --layers 8 10 12 --datasets cities neg_cities --device cuda:0
These activations will be stored in the acts directory. If you want to save activations for all layers, simply use --layers -1.
This directory contains the following files:
dataexplorer.ipynb: for generating visualizations of the datasets. Code for reproducing figures in the text is included.few_shot.py: for implementing the calibrated 5-shot baseline.generalization.ipynb: for training probes on one dataset and checking generalization to another. Includes code for reproducing the generalization matrix in the text.interventions.py: for reproducing the causal intervention experiments from the text.probes.py: contains definitions of probe classes.utils.pyandvisualization_utils.py: utilities for managing datasets and producing visualizations.
