Can LLMs encode biased expectations about men?
In our ACL Findings 2026 paper, “Real Men are Tough”, we study whether LLMs rely on traditional masculinity norms as expectations about male agents.
#NLProc #ACL2026
@ElisaLeonardell @sara_hlt @camillacasula @BoglarkaNyul
Across models, we find a dissociation: they rarely endorse traditional masculinity norms when asked directly, but often attribute MRNI-aligned behaviors to men in scenario-based inference, especially under ambiguity.
We release MRNI-BB to support further work on male-directed gender bias and on how gender-role norms shape LLM inference.

Yet another opportunity to party: congratulations to Davide Vandelli, who is currently a junior researcher in our group and just got his Master's degree in Data Science at @DS_UNITN on video game features to predict cyberbullying in young adolescents. Congrats!! 🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations to Dr. @paccosi_teresa who successfully defended (cum laude) her PhD thesis on frame-based approaches to trace sensory events in texts!! 🥳🥳🥳
Happy to share that “Fine-grained Fallacy Detection with Human Label Variation” with Agnese Daffara and @sara_hlt was accepted to #NAACL2025 main conference 🎉

MaiNLP works on dialects presented this week at COLING #NLProc 🥳
- A new cross-dialect IR benchmark (presented Wed, first session)
- testing PIXEL models on non-standard languages (Thu first session)
- Multi-dialectal Bavarian slot and intent detection and our participation in the Norwegian dialect shared task (VarDial)
see more in the 🧵
📝Evaluating Pixel Language Models on Non-Standardized Languages
🔎We trained a German PIXEL model -- which performs strongly on dialect data
