New dataset WikiOriginQA reveals LLM bias towards Anglophone cultures

Researchers have developed WikiOriginQA, a new question-answering dataset automatically constructed using the creation dates of Wikipedia language editions to represent knowledge origins. This method aims to overcome the scalability challenges of manual annotation for cultural knowledge datasets. Experiments using WikiOriginQA indicate that large language models exhibit bias towards Anglophone cultures and highlight the significance of knowledge propagation into the Anglosphere. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential biases in LLMs, suggesting a need for more culturally diverse training data and evaluation methods.
