New pipeline debiases phrase-level stereotypes in language models

Researchers have developed a "General Phrase Debiaser," a novel pipeline designed to mitigate phrase-level biases in masked language models. This method identifies stereotypical phrases from sources like Wikipedia and then debiases models at a multi-token level. Experiments show significant reductions in gender biases across various disciplines and model sizes, addressing a gap in previous word-level debiasing techniques. AI

IMPACT Addresses a critical gap in AI safety by developing methods to mitigate phrase-level biases in language models.

    General Phrase Debiaser: Debiasing Masked Language Models at a Multi-Token Level

    arXiv:2311.13892v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The social biases and unwelcome stereotypes revealed by pretrained language models are becoming obstacles to their application. Compared to numerous debiasing methods targeting word level, there has been relatively less at…
