What’s in a name? More than you might think, especially for AI.
Whenever I introduce myself, people often start speaking French to me, even though my French is très basic. It turns out that AI systems do something similar:
Large language models infer cultural identity from names, shaping their responses based on presumed backgrounds. But is this helpful personalization or a reinforcement of stereotypes?
In our latest paper, we explored this question by testing DeepSeek, Llama, Aya, Mistral-Nemo, and GPT-4o-mini on how they associate names with cultural identities. We analysed 900 names from 30 cultures and found strong assumptions baked into AI responses: some cultures were overrepresented, while others barely registered.
For example, a name like "Jun" often triggered Japan-related responses, while "Carlos" was linked primarily to Mexico, even though these names exist in multiple countries. Meanwhile, names from places like Ireland led to more generic answers, suggesting weaker associations in the training data.
This has real implications for AI fairness: How should AI systems personalize without stereotyping? Should they adapt at all based on a name?
Work with some of my favourite researchers: @sidicity Arnav Arora and @IAugenstein

Really excited to start contributing to the SWE Arena project: https://swe-arena.com/

Led by IBM PhD fellow @terryyz , our goal is to advance research in code generation and app development by frontier LLMs.

Finally here it is: a faster, custom, scalable GRPO trainer for smaller models with < 500M params, can train on 8gb ram cpu, also supports gpu for sanity sake (includes support for vllm + flash attention). Using smolLM2-135M/360M-instructs as ref & base models. Experience your own β€œaha” moment 🐳 on 8gb ram.
