Do LLMs Align Human Values Regarding Social Biases? Judging and Explaining Social Biases with LLMs (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models can lead to undesired consequences when misaligned with human values . previous studies have shown misalignment of LLMs with human value using expert-designed or agent-based emulated bias scenarios . |
| Approach: | They investigate whether large language models (LLMs) are misaligned with human values . they find no significant differences in understanding of HVSB between LLMs . |
| Outcome: | The results show that large language models do not have lower misalignment rates and attack success rates . the study also shows that smaller language models have the ability to explain HVSB . |

| Challenge: | Existing LLMs struggle to identify errors in financial documents, a study shows . 18% of financial practitioners make errors daily, one-third make errors several times weekly, and 59% make errors multiple times monthly. |
| Approach: | They introduce FinED-Bench, a publicly available Benchmark for financial error detection . it covers nine real-world financial scenarios and includes over 900 documents in 2025 . supervised fine-tuning can significantly improve the performance of weaker LLMs, they show . |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark covers nine real-world financial scenarios and includes over 900 documents reported in 2025 that are unseen by existing language models. |
