arXiv:2606.08408v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We extend activation steering to diffusion language models (DLMs) and study a novel problem that arose due to the inference mechanism of DLMs: Modifying a text in-place to manifest a different concept. We propose TimpaTeks, an automatic in-place text modification mechanism using DLMs. Experiments on IMDB movie reviews (sentiment) and a synthetic Cats and Dogs Dataset (arbitrary, more unconventional concept steering) show that TimpaTeks provides a feasible novel mechanism to steer diffusion language model outputs in-place.
