Steering Conceptual Bias in Language Models for Scientific Code Generation Abstract This work explores whether activating latent subspaces in language models (LLMs) can guide scientific code generation toward a specific programming language. Five causal LLMs were evaluated on scientific coding prompts to quantify their baseline bias among four programming languages. A static neuron-attribution method, perturbing the highest activated MLP weight for a “C++ or CPP” token, proved brittle and exhibited limited generalization across prompt styles and model scales. To address these limitations, a gradient-refined adaptive activation steering framework (G-ACT) was developed: per-prompt activation differences are clustered into a small set …
