Constructed a question-answering benchmark contrasting ambiguous and disambiguated contexts to measure when model answers rely on social stereotypes rather than supplied information, using controlled templates and balancing.

Scientific scope

Constructed a question-answering benchmark contrasting ambiguous and disambiguated contexts to measure when model answers rely on social stereotypes rather than supplied information, using controlled templates and balancing. The assessed contribution is the evaluation resource and its design, not a model capability score. The benchmark focuses on selected social categories in US English. Its measured bias does not establish fairness across languages, cultures, deployments or every form of discrimination.
