Abstract

The chapter 'Evaluation of Geographical Distortions in Language Models' delves into the biases present in large language models (LLMs) that impact their performance in geography-related tasks. It explores how these models, increasingly used through chatbots, perpetuate biases from their training corpora, leading to inaccuracies in geographical knowledge. The study introduces four indicators to assess geographical knowledge reliability and spatial distance distortions in LLMs, evaluating eight commonly used models. The findings reveal significant disparities in geographical knowledge across continents and highlight the need for improved training datasets and model architectures to enhance the reliability of geographical information in LLMs.
