Towards Automated Error Discovery: A Study in Conversational AI
https://aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-main.1/
[ "Dominic Petrak", "Thy Thy Tran", "Iryna Gurevych" ]
Although LLM-based conversational agents demonstrate strong fluency and coherence, they still produce undesirable behaviors (errors) that are challenging to prevent from reaching users during deployment. Recent research leverages large language models (LLMs) to detect errors and guide response-generation models toward ...

Break the Checkbox: Challenging Closed-Style Evaluations of Cultural Alignment in LLMs
https://aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-main.2/
[ "Mohsinul Kabir", "Ajwad Abrar", "Sophia Ananiadou" ]
A large number of studies rely on closed-style multiple-choice surveys to evaluate cultural alignment in Large Language Models (LLMs). In this work, we challenge this constrained evaluation paradigm and explore more realistic, unconstrained approaches. Using the World Values Survey (WVS) and Hofstede Cultural Dimension...

Biased Tales: Cultural and Topic Bias in Generating Children’s Stories
https://aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-main.3/

Stories play a pivotal role in human communication, shaping beliefs and morals, particularly in children. As parents increasingly rely on large language models (LLMs) to craft bedtime stories, the presence of cultural and gender stereotypes in these narratives raises significant concerns. To address this issue, we pres...

On Relation-Specific Neurons in Large Language Models

In large language models (LLMs), certain neurons can store distinct pieces of knowledge learned during pretraining. While factual knowledge typically appears as a combination of relations and entities, it remains unclear whether some neurons focus on a relation itself – independent of any entity. We hypothesize such ne...

[ "Yuhao Chen", "Yuanjie Lyu", "Shuochen Liu", "Chao Zhang", "Junhui Lv", "Tong Xu" ]
Detecting self-contradictions within documents is a challenging task for ensuring textual coherence and reliability. While large language models (LLMs) have advanced in many natural language understanding tasks, document-level self-contradiction detection (DSCD) remains insufficiently studied. Recent approaches leverag...
