Discrimination by LLMs: Cross-lingual Bias Assessment and Mitigation in Decision-Making and Summarisation
The rapid integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into various domains raises concerns about societal inequalities and information bias. This study examines biases in LLMs related to background, gender, and age, with a focus on their impact on decision-making and summarization tasks. Additionally, the research examines the cross-lingual propagation of these biases and evaluates the effectiveness of prompt-instructed mitigation strategies. Using an adapted version of the dataset by Tamkin et…

Große Ölraffinerie in Russland offenbar teils lahmgelegt
Nach einem ukrainischen Drohnenangriff arbeitet eine der größten Ölraffinerien Russlands offenbar nur noch eingeschränkt. Betroffen sei eine Anlage in der nordwestrussischen Stadt Kirischi, die fast 40 Prozent der gesamten Verarbeitungskapazität des dortigen Werks ausmache, sagten zwei mit der Angelegenheit vertraute Personen der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters.

On the Local Langlands Functoriality Transfer From $\text{SO}(5)$ to $\text{GL}(4)$
We study the local Langlands functoriality transfer from $\text{SO}(5, F)$ to $\text{GL}(4, F)$ for arbitrary twists of several families of irreducible supercuspidal representations of $\text{GL}(4, F)$, where $F$ is a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. In doing so, we give equivalent conditions for such representations to be functoriality transfers from $\text{SO}(5, F)$ in terms of the Bushnell-Kutzko construction of supercuspidal representations by studying poles of local ex…

Perturbation Self-Supervised Representations for Cross-Lingual Emotion TTS: Stage-Wise Modeling of Emotion and Speaker
Cross-lingual emotional text-to-speech (TTS) aims to produce speech in one language that captures the emotion of a speaker from another language while maintaining the target voice's timbre. This process of cross-lingual emotional speech synthesis presents a complex challenge, necessitating flexible control over emotion, timbre, and language. However, emotion and timbre are highly entangled in speech signals, making fine-grained control challenging. To address this issue, we propose EMM-TTS, a n…

YTCommentVerse: A Multi-Category Multi-Lingual YouTube Comment Corpus
In this paper, we introduce YTCommentVerse, a large-scale multilingual and multi-category dataset of YouTube comments. It contains over 32 million comments from 178,000 videos contributed by more than 20 million unique users spanning 15 distinct YouTube content categories such as Music, News, Education and Entertainment. Each comment in the dataset includes video and comment IDs, user channel details, upvotes and category labels. With comments in over 50 languages, YTCommentVerse provides a ric…
