Masahiro Kaneko

Researcher at MBZUAI who co-authors on both sides of this vault's present-skew / respondent-coverage-gap cluster: Liu, Kaneko & Chu's "On the Alignment of Large Language Models with Global Human Opinion" (AAAI 2026), which measures whether an LLM's unprompted WVS opinion output skews toward the most recent survey wave, and Kumagae & Kaneko's "Silicon Samples Match the Answers but Not the Respondents" (arXiv:2610.30900, Oct 2026), which measures whether individual silicon-sampled respondents cover individual real ones.

Matters to this vault not as a co-author of either paper alone (co-authorship alone is a mention, not a hub) but as the single person connecting two otherwise independently-arriving research threads on the same World Values Survey data — the direct human link the vault used to confirm the two papers' dataset-reuse relationship (claim-liu-kaneko-chu-present-skew-and-kumagae-kaneko-rcg-measure-different-objects) rather than a coincidental resemblance.
