Mitigating Social Bias in English and Urdu Language Models Using PRM-Guided Candidate Selection and Sequential Refinement

arXiv — cs.CLThursday, December 11, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A recent study has introduced methods for mitigating social bias in large language models (LLMs) specifically for English and Urdu. The research focuses on inference-time bias mitigation techniques that operate directly on model outputs, utilizing preference-ranking models (PRMs) to enhance the quality of generated content without the need for retraining.
  • This development is significant as it addresses the growing concern of biased outputs from LLMs, particularly in low-resource languages where training data is often limited and culturally unrepresentative, thereby promoting fairness in AI applications.
  • The findings highlight a broader trend in AI research, emphasizing the need for culturally aware models and bias mitigation strategies across various languages. This aligns with ongoing discussions about the ethical implications of AI, particularly regarding how biases can affect marginalized communities and the importance of developing inclusive technologies.

FIBER: A Multilingual Evaluation Resource for Factual Inference Bias
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
FIBER, a new multilingual benchmark, has been introduced to evaluate factual knowledge and inference bias in large language models across English, Italian, and Turkish. This dataset includes tasks such as sentence completion and question-answering, aiming to assess how prompt language affects entity selection and model performance in single- and multi-entity contexts.
Beyond Early-Token Bias: Model-Specific and Language-Specific Position Effects in Multilingual LLMs
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
A recent study on Large Language Models (LLMs) reveals that position bias, which affects how information is weighted based on its context location, varies significantly across different languages and model architectures. The research analyzed five languages—English, Russian, German, Hindi, and Vietnamese—using models like Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and Mistral 7B, finding that late positions are favored in certain models contrary to the common early-token preference assumption.
