Scalable and Culturally Specific Stereotype Dataset Construction via Human-LLM Collaboration (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches for detecting and mitigating embedded stereotypes rely on carefully annotated datasets like StereoSet and CrowS-Pairs, which are only in English and reflect stereotypes from a few English-speaking countries. Existing datasets, especially translation-based ones, often overlook such cultural distinctions. |
| Approach: | They propose a cost-efficient human-LLM collaborative annotation framework to construct a Spanish-language stereotype dataset spanning multiple Spanish-speaking countries. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can identify nuanced, region-specific biases across Spanish-supporting LLMs and is adaptable to other languages and regions. |

| Challenge: | Large Language Models reproduce and exacerbate social biases present in training data, and resources to quantify this issue are limited. |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual parallel dataset to examine culturally-specific stereotypes that may be learned by LLMs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset includes stereotypes from 20 regions around the world and 16 languages, spanning multiple identity categories subject to discrimination worldwide. |

| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) can label data faster and cheaper than humans . however, they may fall short in understanding of complex contexts, leading to incorrect labels . |
| Approach: | They propose a collaborative approach where humans and LLMs work together to produce reliable labels. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can produce reliable and high-quality labels faster and cheaper than humans . compared to traditional models, it can generate labels faster, at a lower cost . |

| Challenge: | Existing research on stereotypes in large language models is limited and focuses on African Ameri- F. |
| Approach: | They propose to use global bias to probe a set of large language models via perplexity to determine how certain stereotypes are represented in the model's internal representations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model amplifys harmful stereotypes and shows that the demographic groups associated with stereotypes remain consistent across model likelihoods and outputs. |
