arXiv:2604. 09945v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The rapid adoption of large vision-language models (LVLMs) in recent years has been accompanied by growing fairness concerns due to their propensity to reinforce harmful societal stereotypes.

The paper investigates how in‑context learning (ICL) in large vision‑language models (LVLMs) can amplify gender bias. Using the VL‑BICLE framework, the authors show that gendered ICL demonstrations shift model bias toward the demonstrated gender, especially in tasks involving gendered language such as image captioning and pronoun prediction. They find that similarity‑based retrieval does not mitigate this bias and that replacing real images with synthetic ones from stable diffusion reduces bias without hurting caption quality.

Text-to-image models learn associations between concepts - in the case of this paper, people's professions, which we refer to as roles - and visual attributes. These associations can underpin many obs...
