Researchers have developed LKValues, a new resource suite designed to align large language models (LLMs) with the specific societal values of Sri Lanka. Existing benchmarks often reflect Western norms, failing to capture the unique cultural dynamics of multilingual nations like Sri Lanka. LKValues includes a survey-grounded resource suite, an instruction corpus in Sinhala and English, and an evaluation benchmark to address this gap. Experiments with various LLMs, including fine-tuning on Qwen-family models, demonstrated that LKValues can improve cultural value alignment and reduce cross-lingual disparities, offering a replicable method for low-resource, country-specific value alignment.
