Why are all LLMs Obsessed with Japanese Culture? On the Hidden Cultural and Regional Biases of LLMs

Researchers found that LLMs exhibit unexpected regional bias toward Japanese culture in responses to cultural questions, contradicting prior work on Western-centric model limitations. A new dataset of culture-related queries reveals language choice and training data composition shape which cultural topics models prioritize.

AEL: Agent Evolving Learning for Open-Ended Environments

Researchers propose Agent Evolving Learning, a framework that lets LLM agents retain and act on past experience across multiple episodes by dynamically selecting memory retrieval policies and using reflection to diagnose failure patterns. The approach tackles a core limitation: stateless agents that solve each task from scratch rather than improving through accumulated knowledge.

Fairness under uncertainty in sequential decisions

Researchers tackle fairness in sequential decision-making systems where algorithms make choices with incomplete information and compounding effects on marginalized groups. The work addresses a gap in fair ML: most fairness research focuses on one-shot predictions, but real deployments like loan approvals involve chains of decisions where historical bias and underrepresentation amplify harm.
