stimulated - Story 139166 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was talking with the best man, a low rumble of laughter that vibrated through the room. A shiver ran down Clara's spine. She was suddenly acutely aware of every inch of her body, of the way her dress felt against her skin. A strange, almost aggressive heat bloomed in her stomach.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stimulated. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 stimulated stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stimulated emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
