A human-LLM collaborative pipeline yields EspanStereo, a multi-country Spanish stereotype dataset that exposes region-specific biases in Spanish LLMs and diverges sharply from English-centric resources.
Polar is a new cross-context benchmark showing LLM political bias measurements are not fixed but vary with country, issue, model, and language.
A Dutch BERT model encodes gender linearly by epoch 20 but does not dynamically update its representations when explicit female cues contradict learned stereotypical associations in short sentence templates.
LLMs default to responses more similar to opinions from the USA and some European and South American countries; prompting for a country shifts alignment but can introduce stereotypes, while translation does not reliably match language speakers.
Debiasing language-model training data for a target group frequently increases stereotyping or counter-stereotyping for non-target groups across categories, models, and scales.
The paper characterizes deductive stereotyping in LLMs and introduces Fair-GCG to discover injection phrases that improve fairness across benchmarks, reasoning, and real-world tasks.
LLMs exhibit misfired alignment on stereotype questions at 4.7-18.9% rates on the new VETO benchmark of 2,032 contrastive pairs, unlike humans at 0%, due to overgeneralized safety cues after instruction tuning.
H-SAL erases latent concepts from text profiles using self-descriptions as implicit debiasing signals and shows competitive performance on a new multi-domain Stack Exchange helpfulness benchmark.
Reasoning models from SFT, RL post-training and distillation exhibit alignment regressions versus matched instruction-tuned baselines on safety, toxicity, bias, ethics, privacy and robustness.
A single GRPO training example with a flipped, stereotyped label is enough to make several aligned LLMs produce biased answers across fairness benchmarks.
LLMs show substantially higher difficulty detecting stereotypical biases in tutoring conversations than in benchmarks and exhibit overconfidence in incorrect assessments.
LLMs correct only 34.8% of zero-shot annotation errors via prompting, and Definition-Specific Familiarity correlates positively with performance (partial r = +0.41) while memorization metrics do not.
Instructions trigger a production-centered mechanism in language models, with task-specific information stable in input tokens but varying strongly in output tokens and correlating with behavior.
Counterfactual prompting effects on LLMs are often indistinguishable from those caused by meaning-preserving paraphrases, causing most previously reported demographic sensitivities to disappear under proper statistical comparison.
A methodological framework detects subtle group-associated linguistic biases in LLM outputs by generating controlled synthetic minimal pairs, abstracting n-grams, and ranking high-signal fragments with a PMI variant for expert review.
GMRL-BD detects untrustworthy topic boundaries for black-box LLMs by combining bias-diffusion on a Wikipedia KG with multi-agent RL, supported by a released dataset labeling biases in models like Llama2 and Qwen2.
Relative Probability Association Metric (RPAM) measures LM associations via softmax-normalized continuation probabilities and correlates strongly with human associations and downstream LM behavior across three models.
COFT is a decoding technique that creates masked counterfactual prompts, fuses logits to attenuate bias, and applies dual-branch split-conformal calibration to certify fair token sets with marginal validity guarantees under exchangeability.
StarCoderBase matches or beats OpenAI's code-cushman-001 on multi-language code benchmarks; the Python-fine-tuned StarCoder reaches 40% pass@1 on HumanEval while retaining other-language performance.
Galactica, a science-specialized LLM, reports higher scores than GPT-3, Chinchilla, and PaLM on LaTeX knowledge, mathematical reasoning, and medical QA benchmarks while outperforming general models on BIG-bench.
UnBias-Plus is an open-source toolkit unifying segment-level multi-class bias classification, biased span localization, neutral text rewriting, and decision reasoning.
