๐Ÿš€ #EMNLP2026 #SneakPeek ๐Ÿš€ Do multilingual LLMs understand diverse cultures, or do they still favor Western-associated entities? We introduce Camellia, a benchmark for measuring cultural biases across Asian languages and cultures. ๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿ”— Paper: aclanthology.org/2026.emnlp-โ€ฆ

โš ๏ธ Language matters: Entity extraction gaps across cultures can reach 12โ€“20% in Asian languages, substantially exceeding those generally observed in English. ๐Ÿ”ฌ The takeaway: Multilingual capability does not automatically translate into cultural understanding.

Camellia offers a systematic way to measure cultural biases and advance more culturally aware, equitable multilingual LLMs. #EMNLP2026 #NLProc #ResponsibleAI #MultilingualAI

๐Ÿ“Š Graph2Counsel generates 760 synthetic counseling sessions from 76 CPGs. ๐Ÿ† Expert evaluation ranks it highest among the compared datasets for specificity, counselor competence, authenticity, conversational flow, and safety, with strong inter-annotator agreement.

๐Ÿ“š We introduce FactualCS, a dataset of 4,784 hateโ€“counterspeech pairs across 14 target communities. ๐Ÿ“Š FIRE achieves a 0.969 factuality score, improves category accuracy by 11.1%, lowers toxicity by 11.1%, and cuts peak GPU memory by 75% vs. a monolithic 8B model.
