内隐性别偏见的无监督发现

Unsupervised Discovery of Implicit Gender Bias

Carnegie Mellon University(卡内基梅隆大学)

Anjalie Field, Yulia Tsvetkov

摘要:

尽管社会偏见在社会中普遍存在,但很难识别,主要是因为人类在这一领域的判断可能不可靠。我们采取一种无监督的方法来识别评论级别对女性的性别偏见,并提出了一个模型,可以使可能包含偏见的文本浮出水面。我们的主要挑战是迫使模型关注隐含偏见的迹象,而不是数据中的其他工件。因此,我们的方法包括通过倾向匹配和对抗学习来减少混淆的影响。我们的分析表明,针对女性政治家的偏见评论包含了各种各样的批评,而针对其他女性公众人物的评论则侧重于外表和性化。最终,我们的工作提供了一种方法来捕捉各个领域的微妙偏见,而不依赖于主观的人类判断。

英文摘要:

Despite their prevalence in society, social biases are difficult to identify, primarily because human judgements in this domain can be unreliable. We take an unsupervised approach to identifying gender bias against women at a comment level and present a model that can surface text likely to contain bias. Our main challenge is forcing the model to focus on signs of implicit bias, rather than other artifacts in the data. Thus, our methodology involves reducing the influence of confounds through propensity matching and adversarial learning. Our analysis shows how biased comments directed towards female politicians contain mixed criticisms, while comments directed towards other female public figures focus on appearance and sexualization. Ultimately, our work offers a way to capture subtle biases in various domains without relying on subjective human judgements.
