| Challenge: | toxicity detection models focus on marginalized groups, but they obscure harms faced by intersectional subgroups. |
| Approach: | They use outlier detection to identify text about people with demographic attributes distant from the "norm" they find model performance is worse for demographic outliers than non-outliers . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performance is worse for outliers than non-outliers, the authors say . their analysis also shows that outlier analysis can identify harms faced by intersectional groups . |
