The authors audit it and find problems that make its measurements unreliable. Pronoun forms in different grammatical cases are counted as if they were interchangeable, and their counts are very uneven. Some paired templates… 2. **[A Lightweight Method to Generate Unanswerable Questions in English](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gautam-2023-lightweight-method-generate-unanswerable-questions/)** *(2023 · 6 citations)* Extractive QA systems tend to produce a plausible-looking span even when the passage does not contain the answer. 3. **[Aligned Probing: Relating Toxic Behavior and Model Internals](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/waldis-2026-aligned-probing-relating-toxic-behavior/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Work on LM toxicity usually judges models only by what they generate and treats toxicity as one uniform category. 4. **[Whose Facts Win?

Earlier work on these inter-context knowledge conflicts did not ask whether the attributed source affects which version a model believes, and this paper addresses that gap. The authors built a controlled English testbed.… 5. **[GRUFF: LLM Pronoun Fidelity, Reasoning, and Biases in German](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mewes-2026-gruff-llm-pronoun-fidelity-reasoning/)** *(2026)* Pronoun fidelity asks whether a model, after learning which pronoun a person uses, keeps using that pronoun later even when sentences about other people come in between. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 5 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Robust Pronoun Fidelity with English LLMs: Are they Reasoning, Repeating, or Just Biased? ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.tacl-1.95/) Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics · no summary yet**Vagrant Gautam et al.*2024 · 17 citations* 2. **[WinoPron: Revisiting English Winogender Schemas for Consistency, Coverage, and Grammatical Case](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gautam-2024-winopron-revisiting-english-winogender-schemas/) [Workshop on Computational Models of Reference, Anaphora and Coreference (CRAC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/crac/)**Vagrant Gautam, Julius Steuer, Eileen Bingert, et al.*2024 · 9 citations* 3. **[A Lightweight Method to Generate Unanswerable Questions in English](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gautam-2023-lightweight-method-generate-unanswerable-questions/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Vagrant Gautam, Miaoran Zhang, Dietrich Klakow*2023 · 6 citations* 4. **[Aligned Probing: Relating Toxic Behavior and Model Internals](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/waldis-2026-aligned-probing-relating-toxic-behavior/) [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/)**Andreas Waldis, Vagrant Gautam, Anne Lauscher, et al.*2026 · 1 citation* 5. **[Whose Facts Win?
