Optimizations for language-directed computational steering

Two important requirements for interactive computational steering are low steering latency and minimal application perturbation. The key insight of this research is that precise, interpretable descriptions of steering commands enable runtime optimization for steering perturbation and latency. Within our structured approach for specifying steering requests, we define three optimizations for latency and perturbation while maintaining the fidelity of the user's request. To validate our approach, we have constructed an operational prototype for computational steering. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate the opportunities for optimization inherent in language-directed computational steering.
