This was an interesting and fun project, led by @joseba_fdl. The findings are quite intriguing as well, and probably not what one would immediately expect! 👇

🚨 New paper alert! 🇯🇵🤔 Why are all LLMs Obsessed with Japanese Culture? On the Hidden Cultural and Regional Biases of LLMs 🇯🇵🤔 👉 We find that LLMs show strong regional preferences, often disproportionately favoring certain countries, such as Japan. 🇯🇵

Can RAG amplifies social bias and which component affects the most? @Tianhui will present our work on 27th March (Friday) from 9:00-10:30 in the Safety, Alignment and Prompt-Induced Risk oral session. He is also on the job market. Come to chat with him 🚀 #eacl #nlproc
Tianhui Zhang@ThuiZhanglsyJan 30
New results at #EACL2026 🎉 RAG is effective for reducing hallucinations — but it’s not all roses. We show that RAG can amplify social bias when retrieved documents are stereotyped, even if the base LLM is relatively unbiased. Evaluating RAG ≠ evaluating the LLM alone.

Retrieval Augmentation (RAG) is great for injecting knowledge that was not available to an LLM during its training and improves its factual accuracy, while reducing hallucinations. However, there is a catch! We find that RAG also amplifies social biases in the generator 1/
