<abstract>Over the past decade, the rapid advancement of LLMs has significantly improved natural language generation. However, these models often inherit and amplify gender biases present in large-scale training data, leading to stereotypical associations, androcentric language, and misgendering. Such biases can negatively impact applications in education, healthcare, legal systems, and automated content generation. In this paper, we address this issue as defined in the shared task LT-EDI on Gender-Inclusive Language Generation. The task focuses on rewriting gender-biased sentences into inclusive, gender-neutral alternatives while preserving meaning. We propose a retrieval-augmented framework combining lexical replacement, semantic retrieval, and controlled instruction-tuned generation.
