#1 The GRADIEND Python Package: An End-to-End System for Gradient-Based Feature Learning [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi] [REL]

Authors: Jonathan Drechsel, Steffen Herbold

We present ‘gradiend‘, an open-source Python package that operationalizes the GRADIEND method for learning feature directions from factual-counterfactual MLM and CLM gradients in language models. The package provides a unified workflow for feature-related data creation, training, evaluation, visualization, persistent model rewriting via controlled weight updates, and multi-feature comparison. We demonstrate ‘gradiend‘ through an English pronoun running example, a semantic sentiment use case that evaluates lexical generalization to held-out target words, and a large-scale feature comparison.
