Reducing Gender Bias in Abusive Language Detection (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Abusive language detection models tend to be biased toward identity words of a certain group of people . recent studies have raised concerns about the robustness of such systems . |
| Approach: | They propose to use debiased word embeddings, gender swap data augmentation to reduce model bias . they also propose to fine-tune models with a larger corpus to correct such bias if needed . |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods reduce model bias by 90-98% and can be extended to correct model bias in other scenarios. |
