Hybrid event [A5, 6, Room A231 + Zoom]
Oktober 22, 2025, 13:45-15:15
Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to revolutionize the social sciences—for example, by accelerating content analysis or enabling realistic social simulations. In this workshop, I will discuss how LLMs can be applied and audited for social science applications, including the generation of synthetic survey responses and content analysis. I will also address how biases in LLMs can hinder these applications and explore ways to better surface and understand these biases. Finally, I will present a hands-on use case demonstrating how LLMs can be guided using demographic personas for both content analysis and simulated surveys.
Presenter(s)
Indira Sen is a Junior Faculty member at the University of Mannheim’s Business School in the Chair of Data Science for the Social and Economic Sciences. Her work lies at the intersection of NLP and Computational Social Science, specifically in developing and evaluating representative and equitable language technology, including Large Language Models.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oizrkjzyr6vekl76tjctghcl/bafkreigj6rty2hy4hgawqzq34a24si45dxzutezuphif3hprnl5amxldoy@jpeg)

In June, I asked to one of the co-authors of the AI Scientist paper: would LLMs favor LLM-written papers and reject human ones? Could we be heading toward an echo chamber of machine-reviewed machine papers? We didn’t have answers then.
Glad to see this work.

📣 New preprint! We know humans are biased against AI-creativity. But what about LLMs, now often judging creativity in various contexts? Do they replicate, transform, or amplify this bias? We tested it. Turns out: AI is 2.5X more biased against its own work than humans. arxiv.org/pdf/2510.08831 🧵
