New benchmark GKnow reveals entanglement of gender bias and factual knowledge in LLMs

Researchers have developed GKnow, a new benchmark designed to measure both factual gender knowledge and gender bias in language models. This benchmark aims to disentangle stereotypical outputs from factually gendered ones, which are often conflated in current analyses. Experiments using GKnow revealed that factual gender knowledge and gender bias are deeply intertwined at both the circuit and neuron levels within models, suggesting that simple ablation techniques may be ineffective for debiasing and can even mask a loss of factual gender knowledge.

    GKnow: Measuring the Entanglement of Gender Bias and Factual Gender

    Recent works have analyzed the impact of individual components of neural networks on gendered predictions, often with a focus on mitigating gender bias. However, mechanistic interpretations of gender tend to (i) focus on a very specific gender-related task, such as gendered prono…
