New method disentangles grammatical gender from semantic bias in language models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method to disentangle grammatical gender from semantic bias in contextual language embeddings, specifically addressing issues in gendered languages like Spanish. The approach utilizes controlled templates and natural Wikipedia contexts to create balanced datasets of inanimate nouns. A framework incorporating centroid, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) estimators, along with novel weighting strategies, was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of this disentanglement.
