- 发生了什么
- Researchers created LKValues, a dataset and benchmark for aligning large language models with Sri Lankan cultural values, including 150k Sinhala-English training instances and evaluation benchmarks.
- 为何重要
- Engineers building or fine-tuning LLMs for South Asian markets or multilingual systems need culturally grounded alignment beyond Western-centric defaults.
- 注意
- Fine-tuning improvements were model-family dependent and gaps remained even after training, suggesting cultural alignment requires ongoing iteration and context-specific approaches.

Abstract: Value alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) has been shown to be culturally biased toward Western norms. This results in the mishandling of local values in multilingual societies such as Sri Lanka that have their unique cultural dynamics. Existing benchmarks overlook Sri Lankan-contextualized values in its official language Sinhala, hindering culturally sensitive evaluation and fine-tuning. To bridge this gap, we propose LKValues, the first survey-grounded resource suite for Sri Lankan value alignment. From a trilingual survey of 205 respondents, blending adapted global frameworks and LLM-elicited local constructs, we derive 40 majority-endorsed societal values. Using these values, we construct LKvaluesIT, a Sinhala-English news-derived instruction corpus containing 150k scenario-based instances, and LKvaluesBench, a value-sensitive evaluatio
