Fairness and privacy are two important values machine learning (ML) practitioners often seek to operationalize in models. Fairness aims to reduce model bias for social/demographic sub-groups. Privacy via differential privacy (DP)…
Recent studies show that large language models (LLMs) improve their performance through self-feedback on certain tasks while degrade on others. We discovered that such a contrary is due to LLM's bias in evaluating their own output. In this…
As language models are increasingly included in human-facing machine learning tools, bias against demographic subgroups has gained attention. We propose FineDeb, a two-phase debiasing framework for language models that starts with…
Pre-trained language models encode undesirable social biases, which are further exacerbated in downstream use. To this end, we propose MABEL (a Method for Attenuating Gender Bias using Entailment Labels), an intermediate pre-training…
Recently, decomposing complex problems into simple subtasks--a crucial part of human-like natural planning--to solve the given problem has significantly boosted the performance of large language models (LLMs). However, leveraging such…
Targeted evaluations have found that machine translation systems often output incorrect gender, even when the gender is clear from context. Furthermore, these incorrectly gendered translations have the potential to reflect or amplify social…
LLMs have emerged as a promising tool for assisting individuals in diverse text-generation tasks, including job-related texts. However, LLM-generated answers have been increasingly found to exhibit gender bias. This study evaluates three…
