GitHub - dwright37/llm-knowledge: A package for extracting knowledge and measuring epistemic diversity in LLMs. Associated with the paper "Epistemic Diversity and Knowledge Collapse in Large Language Models" github.com
AI Weekly's analysis
  • A study of 27 LLMs across 155 topics and 12 countries found every system was less epistemically diverse than a basic web search baseline.
  • Larger models were counterintuitively less diverse than smaller ones, while retrieval-augmented generation improved diversity across the systems tested.
  • For country-specific topics, LLM parametric knowledge systematically reflected English sources over local-language ones, the authors report.

Just arrived in Burlington for #IC2S2! My student Krystal Gong will be presenting: 👉 Thursday @ 10:45 in Chittenden (413) about geopolitical stance formation in LLMs 👉 Friday @ 14:15 in Jost Foundation (422) about quantifying persuasive cues in text (arxiv.org/abs/2606.14580) …

Persuasion Index: A Theory-Guided Framework for Persuasion Analysis arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis
  • Persuasion Index is a taxonomy of 15 dimensions grounded in psychology and communication, implemented with 55 sub-features from lexicons and rule-based detectors.
  • The authors evaluate PI on four public datasets varying in domain, style, and outcome measures, and report linear models carry meaningful predictive signal while staying lightweight.
  • PI is released as an open-source package and web interface for principled and auditable analysis of human and AI-mediated communication.
