stimulated - Story 139993 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notification popped up during her shift at the library. Her essay, about overcoming her fear of public speaking, was going to be featured. A giggle escaped her, a sound she quickly muffled with her hand. Her fingers drummed against the counter. She felt… energized.

She abandoned the overdue books she was sorting. She had to tell someone. Anyone. She raced into the breakroom, found the librarian, and blurted out the news, words tumbling over each other. Her friend's eyes widened. "That's amazing!" she finally exclaimed, and they both started laughing, their relief at the good news palpable.

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.
