Their internal behaviour has been hard to study because OpenAI's o1 hides its thoughts. DeepSeek-R1 exposes its reasoning, so the authors use it to launch a research programme they call "Thoughtology." 2. **[CulturalBench: A Robust, Diverse and Challenging Benchmark for Measuring LMs' Cultural Knowledge Through Human-AI Red-Teaming](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chiu-2025-culturalbench-robust-diverse-challenging-benchmark/)** *(2025 · 38 citations)* Measuring how well language models understand everyday cultural practice worldwide is difficult. Static hand-written test sets soon become too easy. Benchmarks built from web pages, value surveys or synthetic generation may overlap with training data or carry over model biases. ## Co-authors here 12 of 19 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Arkil Patel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/arkil-patel/) - [Benno Krojer](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/benno-krojer/) - [Bill Yuchen Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bill-yuchen-lin/) - [Chan Young Park](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chan-young-park/) - [Dongchan Shin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dongchan-shin/) - [Liwei Jiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/liwei-jiang/) - [Maria Antoniak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/maria-antoniak/) - [Milad Aghajohari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/milad-aghajohari/) - [Nicholas Meade](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nicholas-meade/) - [Parishad BehnamGhader](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/parishad-behnamghader/) - [Sahithya Ravi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sahithya-ravi/) - [Sara Vera Marjanovic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sara-vera-marjanovic/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 78 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [30 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mehar-bhatia/cited-by/).
