Designing Intuitive Interfaces For Feature Steering Of Llms, Allison Huang, Yihyun Lim Dec 2025

Designing Intuitive Interfaces For Feature Steering Of Llms, Allison Huang, Yihyun Lim

IASDR Conference Series

Feature steering enables users to strengthen or weaken concepts (features) that an LLM has already learned in realtime. It has emerged as an alternative to prompting, allowing continuous rather than discrete control over model behavior. However, given the technical knowledge required to extract and then steer on features, this process is mostly limited to technical researchers. We seek to build a graphical user interface that makes steering accessible to the layperson. Existing interfaces prioritize flexibility over intuition, overwhelming users with the sheer number of options for what to prompt or what features to steer on. We conducted a user-centered design …
