摘要:

预训练的语言模型(LM)可能会将源自其训练语料库的偏见延续到下游模型。我们专注于与给定名称的表示相关的工件(例如,Donald),其取决于语料库,可以与特定实体相关联,如由下一个令牌预测(例如,特朗普)。虽然在某些情况下是有帮助的,但接地也发生在不明确或不适当的情况下。例如,“Donald is a”的结尾与其他名字的结尾有很大不同,并且往往具有高于平均水平的负面情绪。我们展示了潜在的影响下游任务与阅读理解探针名称扰动改变模型的答案。作为一线希望,我们的实验表明,在不同语料库上进行额外的预训练可能会减轻这种偏见。

英文摘要:

Pre-trained language models (LMs) may perpetuate biases originating in their training corpus to downstream models. We focus on artifacts associated with the representation of given names (e.g., Donald), which, depending on the corpus, may be associated with specific entities, as indicated by next token prediction (e.g., Trump). While helpful in some contexts, grounding happens also in under-specified or inappropriate contexts. For example, endings generated for `Donald is a' substantially differ from those of other names, and often have more-than-average negative sentiment. We demonstrate the potential effect on downstream tasks with reading comprehension probes where name perturbation changes the model answers. As a silver lining, our experiments suggest that additional pre-training on different corpora may mitigate this bias.
