stimulated - Story 139276 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, you're the new guy?" The gruff voice broke through his thoughts. He found himself smiling at the prospect of the new environment, even if the new department was the IT department.

He had to control his urge to pace around. The thought of learning the new systems was practically intoxicating.

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.
