Projective Methods for Mitigating Gender Bias in Pre-trained Language Models (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Mitigating gender bias in NLP has a long history tied to debiasing static word embeddings. |
| Approach: | They propose a masked language modelling task where content is developed around known social stereotypes and a projective debiasing method is used to reduce bias. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods reduce intrinsic bias and mitigat observed bias in a downstream setting, but the two outcomes are not necessarily correlated. |
