Researchers have developed a controlled Mandarin-to-English translation task to evaluate how large language models (LLMs) handle conflicting lexical knowledge. The study found that LLMs tend to rely on externally provided meanings, even when instructed otherwise, with larger models within a family showing greater reliance. The research also explored factors influencing this reliance, such as word frequency, sentence context, and prompt framing, suggesting new methods to detect and manage lexical conflicts in LLM-based translation.
