Evaluating and Mitigating Anti-LGBTQ Biases in German and Multilingual Language Models

Melina Morch, Daniel Braun

While gender and racial biases in language models have been widely studied, anti-LGBTQ biases remain underexplored, particularly beyond English. Existing benchmarks often do not ca…

Fine-Grained Perspectives: Modeling Explanations with Annotator-Specific Rationales

Olufunke O. Sarumi, Charles Welch, Daniel Braun

Beyond exploring disaggregated labels for modeling perspectives, annotator rationales provide fine-grained signals of individual perspectives. In this work, we propose a framework…

Acquiescence Bias in Large Language Models

Daniel Braun

Acquiescence bias, i.e. the tendency of humans to agree with statements in surveys, independent of their actual beliefs, is well researched and documented. Since Large Language Mod…

The Impact of Annotator Personas on LLM Behavior Across the Perspectivism Spectrum

Olufunke O. Sarumi, Charles Welch, Daniel Braun +1

In this work, we explore the capability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to annotate hate speech and abusiveness while considering predefined annotator personas within the strong-to…
