Can You Predict Cross-Propensity Spillover?

The SPAR group conducted a 29x29 experiment to study how fine-tuning for one propensity affects others, using Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct as the base model and evaluating 29 propensities. The experiment involved generating training data through elicitation prompts and assessing spillover effects across all combinations.
