| Challenge: | Recent work has shown word-level embeddings reflect and propagate social biases present in training corpora. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to debias word embeddings to reduce biases at sentence level . they hope their work will inspire future research on characterizing and removing biase . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces biases and preserves performance on downstream tasks such as sentiment analysis and natural language understanding. |
