摘要:

人们已经提出了各种措施来量化词嵌入中类似人类的社会偏见。然而,基于这些措施的偏见得分可能会遭受测量误差。衡量质量的一个指标是可靠性,即衡量产生一致结果的程度。本文对词嵌入性别偏差测量的三种类型的信度进行了评估,即重测信度、评分者间一致性和内部一致性。具体来说,我们调查的一致性偏见分数在不同的选择随机种子,评分规则和单词。此外,我们还分析了各种因素对这些测量的信度得分的影响。我们的研究结果通知更好的设计词嵌入性别偏见的措施。此外,我们敦促研究人员对这些措施的应用持更严格的态度。

英文摘要:

Various measures have been proposed to quantify human-like social biases in word embeddings. However, bias scores based on these measures can suffer from measurement error. One indication of measurement quality is reliability, concerning the extent to which a measure produces consistent results. In this paper, we assess three types of reliability of word embedding gender bias measures, namely test-retest reliability, inter-rater consistency and internal consistency. Specifically, we investigate the consistency of bias scores across different choices of random seeds, scoring rules and words. Furthermore, we analyse the effects of various factors on these measures' reliability scores. Our findings inform better design of word embedding gender bias measures. Moreover, we urge researchers to be more critical about the application of such measures.
