Are Stereotypes Leading LLMs’ Zero-Shot Stance Detection ? (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models inherit stereotypes from their pretraining data, leading to biased behavior toward certain social groups in many tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate posts in pre-existing stance detection datasets with dialect or vernacular of a specific group and text complexity/readability to investigate whether these attributes influence the model’s stance detect decisions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model exhibits significant stereotypes when performing stance detection tasks in a zero-shot setting. |
