Large Language Models Are Still Misled by Simple Bias Ensembles

With the evolution of large language models (LLMs), their robustness against individual simple biases has been enhanced.However, we observe that the ensemble of multiple simple biases still exerts a significant adverse impact on LLMs.Given that real-world data samples are typically confounded by a wide range of biases, LLMs tend to exhibit unstable performance when deployed in high-stakes realworld scenarios such as clinical diagnosis and legal document analysis.However, previous benchmarks are constrained to datasets where each sample is manually injected with only one type of bias.To bridge this gap, we propose a multi-bias benchmark where each sample contains multiple types of biases.Experimental results reveal that existing LLMs and debiasing methods perform poorly on this benchmark, highlighting the challenge of eliminating such compounded biases.
