A Rewriting Approach for Gender Inclusivity in Portuguese (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent research has focused on gender-inclusive and gender-neutral language . however, current approaches to gender- neutral rewriting for gendered languages rely on large datasets . |
| Approach: | They propose a rule-based and a neural-based tool for gender-neutral rewriting for Portuguese, a heavily gendered Romance language. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model fine-tunes large multilingual machine translation models on examples generated by the rule-based model. |
GKnow: Measuring the Entanglement of Gender Bias and Factual Gender (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have focused on mitigating gender bias, but mechanistic interpretations of gender fail to distinguish between factually gendered outputs and gender biased outputs. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to assess gender knowledge and gender bias in language models . they use neuron ablation to disentangle stereotypical and factual gender . |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark assesses gender knowledge and gender bias in language models across different types of gender-related predictions. |
