The paper introduces CuCu, a multi‑agent LLM framework that converts national social studies curricula into open‑ended, culture‑specific question‑answer pairs for fine‑tuning language models. Using the Korean curriculum, the authors build KCaQA, a dataset of 34.1k QA pairs that cover culture‑specific topics and ground responses in local sociocultural contexts. Experiments show that fine‑tuning with KCaQA improves the model’s cultural alignment and relevance to Korean society.

The paper introduces MentorQA, a multilingual dataset and evaluation framework for mentorship-oriented question answering derived from long‑form videos. It contains nearly 9,000 QA pairs across four languages and defines evaluation dimensions such as clarity, alignment, and learning value that extend beyond factual accuracy. Experiments show that Multi‑Agent QA pipelines outperform other architectures, especially on complex topics and low‑resource languages, while automated LLM‑based evaluation shows variable alignment with human judgments.
The paper investigates cultural biases in large language models (LLMs) by introducing the Culture-Related Open Questions (CROQ) dataset, which contains 24‑language questions about generic culture. Experiments reveal that LLMs disproportionately favor Japan in their responses, especially when prompted in high‑resource languages, while low‑resource languages tend to highlight countries where the language is official. The study also finds that these biases emerge after supervised fine‑tuning rather than during pre‑training.

Quiz rooms, trivia nights, and quiz shows challenge human knowledge across a wide range of topics, from canonical facts to everyday culture. In this paper, we examine whether large language models (LLMs) can perform competitively in such settings, using quiz-style questions to test them on both common and niche topics.
With the wide application of large language models (LLMs) in real-world scenarios, the value implication of their outputs is crucial. However, existing evaluation benchmarks suffer from insufficient coverage of value dilemmas in daily scenarios involving multiple value conflicts and simplistic evaluation formalisms that fail to assess LLMs' value alignment.
