Leveraging Prototypical Representations for Mitigating Social Bias without Demographic Information

NAACL 2024short

Mitigating social biases typically requires identifying the social groups associated with each data sample. In this paper, we present DAFair, a novel approach to address social bias in language models. Unlike traditional methods that rely on explicit demographic labels, our approach does not require…

Quality Matters: Evaluating Synthetic Data for Tool-Using LLMs

EMNLP 2024main

Training large language models (LLMs) for external tool usage is a rapidly expanding field, with recent research focusing on generating synthetic data to address the shortage of available data. However, the absence of systematic data quality checks poses complications for properly training and testi…

Shielded Representations: Protecting Sensitive Attributes Through Iterative Gradient-Based Projection

ACL 2023findings

Natural language processing models tend to learn and encode social biases present in the data. One popular approach for addressing such biases is to eliminate encoded information from the model’s representations. However, current methods are restricted to removing only linearly encoded information.…
