Challenge: Movies reflect society and also hold power to transform opinions.
Approach: They propose to annotate movie scripts for identity bias using a dataset that is annotated for gender, race/ethnicity, religion, age, occupation, LGBTQ, and other .
Outcome: The proposed dataset contains dialogue turns annotated for gender, race/ethnicity, religion, age, occupation, LGBTQ, and other, which contains biases like body shaming, personality bias, etc.
